Have you ever worked with git?
It is obvious the intern has the codebase and the commit history and that is why when he published the new project part of the commit history of replit was on the new project, it is 100% obvious he has copied part of it yes.
What are you talking about? You can’t say that without providing proof, the commit history in his post does not show anything of the sort and the original project is gone from github
on a seriously technical point of view. It is obvious the person kept the code repository and when making a new project the commit history (or part of it) moved together.
So excluding how the CEO acted, it is obvious the intern has the codebase (or part of it) and I am pretty sure that under their contract they are not allowed to do what they did.
As for the way they approach things, ye the CEO is from YC getting praised from PG on twitter, his Ego is beyond the moon and acts like it, dont expect anything more.
Also Replit is INSANELY overvalued as a product.
not using docker has nothing to do with a simple ci/CD solution. having pull requests run tests and then creating releases especially when you have a single binary should be dead easy and a very basic part of your Development life cycle.
I don't use docker in production, but use it heavily on developers machines or to setup infra during QA.
The article doesn't really say anything except "look at me not using docker you haters".
before I try yet another ETL tool. How does this work with datasets that do not come from 3rd party providers like salesforce etc?
I have had to build ETL pipelines for highly customized datasets either row level based or xml with I would say tricky code as the nesting or flows were not so simple and a lot of data missing.
How would Meltano or the other mention tools handle this?
We're working on an SDK[0] for building taps that should make it much easier to build to the Singer spec with all of the features out of the box. In theory if you can write some python against whatever you're pulling data out of, then it can work within the Singer ecosystem and Meltano. It's nearly ready to go but we'd love feedback if you decide to test it out!
okay fair enough.
but I guess then it doesn't offer anything extra for us as we have already the ETL Platform self made and we add the process with just an extra file.
thanks!
I can speak for singer taps which this is based on for the EL bits. Our postgres etl works quite well. Logical replication broke down quite quickly, but primary keys + updated_at keys are working very well for us. I can't speak about XML though.
They are competing here in Berlin, against DeliveryHero (which bought foodora and other smaller deliveries).
They are both the same, except the restaurant coverage. From that I can assume they have a better b2b model.
Wolt prices are higher, even though DeliveryHero prices are already higher, including the distance extra payment for me it makes it stupid to order.
I understand that the drivers get paid more and it is obvious, but as a consumer to pay 30% more for a delivery, is insane.
Back in the day you would get FREE delivery from restaurants and even extras.
Being corona lockdown I prefer to walk and get my food.
This is not a judgement against Wolt, but against this whole delivery system.
They are not competing in Berlin against Delivery Hero. Delivery Hero exited Germany and sold Foodora, Pizza.de AND Lieferheld.de to Lieferando: who promptly shut those 3 platforms down leaving only Lieferando.
So now Wolt is competing in Berlin in takeaway food market against only Lieferando, and seeing as they only started last year, Google Trends suggests they are getting a reasonable % of the market already, somewhere around 12% of Berlin online food delivery:
also that lieferando delivers a pathetic user experience (too many bugs and poor UX decisions to list here). I would love to see Wolt take over the Berlin/German market.
DeliveryHero's primary market is S.E. Asia, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc, and they don't have any sales in Berlin. Also Wolt don't even operate outside the Kreuzkölln bubble, I've never heard of it till now, and I don't understand why people are fawning over Wolt operating in Berlin.
> why people are fawning over Wolt operating in Berlin
mainly the shameful experience of Lieferando, and the several months of total monopoly after their acquisition of the Delivery Hero brands. The antitrust organization really let customers down on that one.
> Kreuzkölln bubble
one that covers from Hauptbahnhof to ~half of PB, but who's counting...
I find the article a bit hard to follow. What were the actual requirements?
I probably didnt understand all of this, but was the time spent on thinking about this more valuable than using a KV Store?
Why the freakishly long post..
Is there any job that doesn't have interview procedures that fail? Isn't half of the system if not more broken? Taxes, education, housing..
Probably because engineering partly about obsessively getting things right, and so that's the kind of personalities you have opining on this topic in these spheres.
