Ask my kids and they will tell you, I am the party of no. No dessert before you eat your vegetables. No skipping out on 3rd grade to day trade stonks. No feeding your gremlin after midnight. I apply this principle to Groups.io devops as well.

David Heinemeier Hansson recently posted about Basecamp’s decision to leave Amazon AWS and move to self-hosting their own servers, Why We’re Leaving The Cloud. I think he’s wrong.

After a long dormant period, I am reactivating the blog.

Wai Rum, Jordan I am in the process of reactivating the long dormant blog. I need a new post to help finalize the new theme, and this is that post. More soon.

Updated 5/16/19: Added a note to the Incremental Conversion section about using specific revs of a repository instead of replace directives. Go modules is the new dependency management system for Go language based projects. I just spent the last three days converting the Groups.io codebase to use Go modules. It’s a large code base, and we had vendored ~75 dependencies over the past five years of development. The code base pre-dates any of the pre-existing dependency management systems, so we were flying a bit blind when it came to which version of each dependency we were using.
