Great : from your literature, Vercel's FaaS is basically AWS Lambda with plumbing.
Since Netlify appears to be a smaller player (40% of your revenue) and since they similarly don't talk about their stack much, I'm going to presume that they're doing the same thing hehe
Don't start in the obvious places, because you can get stuck there for a decade before figuring out what else is going on ( I did, you shouldn't ) ( quick dive ; quick dip )
1. do a quick read on how UNIX and Linux kernels were designed, particularly what "file handlers" and "sockets" are ( day 1 ; 30 minutes )
2. do a quick read on the difference between "command prompts" (1-dimensional) and "pseudo-teletype terminals" (2-dimensional) ( day 2 ; 15 minutes ) ... note that both are varieties of "shell" ; shells are opposed to kernels
3. do a quick read on what "display managers vs window managers" are ... and if possible ( now this is quite hard, as the docs are messy ) ... how the kernel, talks to the shell, which talks to a pseudo-teletype terminal, which is a display client to the display server, which talks to the display server, which talks to the window manager ( it may not be exactly like that, but this is a good assumption to make until you get a clearer view ) ( day 3 ; 2 hours )
4. then learn a shell scripting language
5. then do something like "espeak 'oh hi there'"
Alternatively, do this in reverse numerical order.
If it's modern PHP specifically, are you saying that both languages are adding a bunch of the same things? That doesn't really sound like one language turning into the other.
Herd immunity implies herd infection. I am sure you are already aware of the mortality rates for infected citizens. All the best to this test. You are taking one for the global team. #forscience
What is wrong with you... Markdown is structured enough to be ingested by a parser. You can input or output Markdown from and into any other structure you prefer... :D
Technologies: I like math. I use Vim, Ubuntu, HTML, CSS, PHP (CakePHP in particular), spreadsheets and slides (the usual suspects, hosted and offline), Ruby (Rails in particular), Erlang (exercise: I wrote a code basic MVC and code interpolater), Haskell (exercise: I wrote a basic MVC framework with interpolation and RESTful sessions), MySQL, Postgresql, MongoDB, bits of the necessary web-servers.
My career is about intellectual history and the quantification of human experience (which leads me to hobbies like machine intelligence, and rewriting mathematical systems). I'm not a specialist in anything commerciable, except quantifying, acquiring, and distributing transferable skills, and general human/organisational conditioning. I do have experience across a swarth of industries, and notable experience with fledging companies. I am in an ambiguous patch where I'm 15% into a decade of focus on optimising for cash returns, just to play the game... to say that I spent a bit of my life giving it a shot. Hit me.
