    Scavengers Reign

    I liked the character writing, and I liked many of the scifi parts, but i was missing the “hard scifi” that the plot should revolve around in a scifi story. i.e. the futuristic stuff doesn’t affect the story much and the character arcs would have worked just as well in 17th century exploration story. Compare that to hard scifi like “the expanse” or “westworld”, where many parts of the story can only work because of the specific way the world works.

    if you prefer soft scifi over hard sci, than Scavengers Reign is a strong recommendation.

    more users means, they should do much better than the ones with less users (assuming each user is worth the same/requires same infra).

    at the worst case, a bigger org could just copy paste a smaller orgs system a couple times to get the exact same uptime, with same budget per user*. The benefit of bigger orgs is, that they can consolidate these separate system a big system that is more stable AND costs less. If this wasn’t true, we wouldn’t have big orgs in the first place**.

    * yes, it is NOT the same budget for the users. You can’t JUST copy paste the system, you’d also need to think how you split it up. I know there are a million little things to nitpick here, but this can all be solved somewhat easily, and they wont change the overall argument.

    ** regulatory capture, lobbying, corruption and creating a monopoly could also be consider aspects of “consolidating into a bigger system”. This doesn’t mean why MS shouldn’t be able to be better, it just explains why they aren’t better.

    They were all conscripted and when in that kind of situation (drafted by monsters) you just do not say no

    at least werner von braun was a high ranking nazi. I am not sure about the others

    And while being there you may also do everything that is possible to make the shit little less shit.

    yes, you could argue, that slaves under werner von braun had better survival chances than else where. (I am not sure if that is true though)

    the problem with ORM is that some people go all in on it and ignore pure SQL completely.

    In reality ORM only works well for somewhat simple queries and structures, but at some times you will have to write your own queries in SQL. But then you have some bonus complexity, that comes from 2 different things filling the same niche. It’s still worth it, but there is no free cake.
