  • But at the same time, it’s the superpower. Prescience.

    A myriad of possibilities. Actions. Their consequences. From your point forward. Every action you take. Sometime it happens exactly as you’ve seen it. Sometimes you’re able to see the different outcome for which you need to take a different actions. The fear. The anxiety.

    What use is it to know the future, if you also have to take action in the moment?

    The mantra comes into place, here. At this moment.

    I must not fear.

    Fear is the mind killer.

    Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.

    Instead I will face my fear.

    I will permitt it to wash over me and through me.

    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye and see along its path.

    And there will be nothing.

    Only I will remain.










  • You know, this really has me pondering my projects architecture. We have tiers of services.

    At the top, we have the UI. Then we have a “consumer” an “orchestra” and a “data” tier.

    Data is the tier that exclusively talks to databases. Orchestra talks to the multiple data services. A good chunk of business logic is here. Consumer uses the orchestra and handles UI requests.

    All it essentially does is split the monolith into 3 services at minimum. And since it’s on the cloud, there’s a start up cost where we need to spin up 3 machines instead of whatever you can do with microservices. What benefit do I get?
