-------------------------------------------- Silver bullets 2018.08.05 21:33:04 CEST -------------------------------------------- At work I'm very conscious of the inexistence of silver bullets. There isn't a single piece of infra-structure which will solve everyone's demand. Not because people aren't willing to invest tim trying to build such a solution, but due to the diverse nature of use-cases around the company. Yet, I keep finding myself searching for a single silver bullet to solve my personal computing needs. For example, trying to get everything done on a single machine, running a single operating system, on a single online platform. When I become disappointed wi the current silver bullet of the month, I move to a different lapt or OS, or platform, rinse and repeat. In a month I'll be disappoin again and move back. Finding a place in between extremes, using more platforms, more OS more machines, will probably solve all my needs, with the addition cost of complexity. The cost of moving so often between solutions has become higher th the complexity cost. I won't be satisfied at a single place - this the mantra for the next time disappointment comes around.
