  • I find the clients ok, not great, but I haven’t explored that space much, there are many more options than Plex. Plex seems to be making theirs worse. It actually seems like Plex tries to make my content in their client harder to find.

    The real issue is jellyfin is not as good at finding metadata. I’ve overcome this with tinymediamanager, but it still isn’t as good.

    For secure remote streaming, I’ve got mine behind caddy with https (caddy does the let’s encrypt dance it’s really pleasant, even works with my free DNS provider), which seems about as secure as Plex was. Are there other security aspects I’m missing that Plex provides?


  • disagree, pr’s catch tonnes of shit, knowledge transfer is useful even in trusted teams. they also don’t prevent any test driven development or continuous integration.

    team focused development pairing are also pulling studies from 2005 before pr’s were meaningfully a thing.j Also as someone who’s done a significant amount of pairing, it’s not that easy. I can’t imagine mob programming.












  • I had to containerize an older java app. It sucked, java would take all the memory you gave it regardless, so it was hard to determine memory requirements/limits. It had pretty slow start although this wasn’t an issue for us, logging formatting was a pain. All this was overcome (not by upgrading), it was just a pain.

    I suspect this isn’t true of modern java though - I’d suspect with the hype kubernetes went through a few years ago that it’s just fine now a days.


  • IMO it doesn’t matter, learning go from Java should not be what excludes you from an offer. Of course if the employer has a choice between two otherwise even candidates then maybe it’d help.

    I think the problem is working with both in a production environment is what is going to set you apart.

    I’d say learn a language that’s really different like a functional or a logic language.

    Otoh I’ve not been interviewing lately so maybe my take is totally off base
