Random Question: is it weird I don't like pair programming?
  • Not at all. I find it useful for certain tasks, but I'm a huge introvert and spending a long period of time with someone physically exhausts me to the point where I can't muster coherent speech or thought. Depending on the depth of thinking required too, it's often better for me to do that individually then bring my findings to someone else to validate.

    Does anyone use C4 model for visualizing software architecture
  • I've used it with a lot of success at my current and previous companies. To address a few of your cons:

    • Engineers are quickly comfortable with the tooling and VS Code plugins give you quick feedback. You can also point the plug in at a hosted instance to avoid running a local instance in Docker

    • Separation of different types of diagram is often a bonus—too often have I seen architects try to cover too many concepts in a single diagram—instead a Context diagram should define your system and its neighbours, a Container diagram the major pieces of your system, a Component diagram verges on design and is a good place for engineers and architects to converse. If a container or component has a particularly complex workflow, then a supplementary flow diagram helps. If it uses an extraordinary pattern, then a class diagram might help, and so on.

  • Hi—I have some free Azure credits and would like to use them to host a personal Lemmy instance. I know Lemmy is containerised, but is there a preferred choice for hosting in Azure—AKS, Azure Container Apps, Container Instances? Also, any guidance on appropriate PostgreSQL configuration—I know there are some options around that.

    Also, can anyone point me at what resource utilisation will look like for a Lemmy instance—I imagine disk space is more of a concern that compute usage.

    Cities Skylines II Development Diary #1: Road Tools
  • Me too—I was saddened when r/CitiesSkylines didn't take part in the blackout. A community for a game that became as successful as it is in part due to the hard work of unpaid third-party developers should have been at the forefront of the protests

  • Are there any mods from r/formula1 who are keen to join the mod team here? Is there anything we can do to highlight the existence of this community to r/formula1?
