The majority of these hidden truths are due to senior engineering management in their 40s and 50s who have not coded in decades, and yet pick up the latest trend or fashion and impose that on their teams.
The monolith to microservices trend was one great example of this.
Agreed - Really surprising this article didn't cover the flip side - how many lives have been saved due to having an instant source of truth in your pocket.
"Source of truth." Right, that reminds me of the other issue exacerbated by AI: widespread media illiteracy. (Apologies if that was the joke, can't tell anymore).
Rocks (of any type" and "wear and tear" don't really go together in my mind. Is this something on the order of jewel bushings in low speed mechanical clockwork?
I can't think of a lot of applications where I'd want any sort of rock as my bearing material but maybe I'm thinking too big.
Yeah, stainless steel pipes are used to carry ash slurry away from thermal power plants (especially in China and India). Cast basalt lining increases the lifetime of the pipes by reducing abrasion.
In the original article, "wear and tear" refers to chemical/corrosion resistance.
Considering the reactivity of most textiles compared to something like glass, I would imagine this has tons of utility anywhere you might need a textile in a chemical application.
took me four prompts to do generate a waterfall chart using d3 js because it didn't want to run it. obviously with real numbers and not generated data, you'd need to check the results thoroughly.
