Alan Helton: 我认为成为一名有效的‘推动者’ (enabler) 意味着帮助他人走出舒适区,并为他们提供机会去尝试那些他们可能独自无法完成的事情。这包括在 ReadySet Cloud 和 Believe in Serverless 等平台上为初次演讲者或那些对分享特定主题感到紧张的人提供机会。我通过提供平台和机会,帮助他人克服在演讲或写作方面的顾虑。我自己的职业转变也受益于他人的鼓励和支持,因此我希望能够将这种帮助传递给他人。成为‘推动者’不仅仅是鼓励,更重要的是提供帮助和支持,共同承担风险。最终目标是帮助他人成长,并在挑战中感到不孤单。 在社区建设方面,我认为‘先吸引后拓展’的策略非常有效。先提供低门槛的参与机会,例如演讲或博客写作,让参与者获得良好的体验,之后再鼓励他们参与更多活动。持续的参与和互动至关重要,需要主动提问,鼓励多元化思维,并保持坦诚和信任。社区的成长是一个过程,需要持续的投入和适应。 关于 Serverless 技术的未来,我认为‘Serverless 已死’的论调是错误的。Serverless 技术已经足够成熟,不再需要过度关注。我更关注的是系统的可靠性和可扩展性,而不是是否使用了 Serverless 技术。Serverless 的定价模式类似于电费,按使用量付费,这鼓励用户更有效地利用资源。 在 Memento 工作的经历让我受益匪浅。初创公司的运作速度更快,决策效率更高。与服务工程师合作让我学习了他们的思维方式和解决问题的方法。Memento 注重用户体验,这让我对构建开发者友好的产品有了更深刻的理解。 Jan: Believe in Serverless 社区发展迅速,参与度远超预期。社区活动丰富多样,包括主题讨论、非主题讨论和直播编码活动。关于 Serverless 技术的未来,我认为 Serverless 技术已经足够成熟,不再需要过度关注。Serverless 的可扩展性优势在应对流量激增时尤为明显,但同时也需要注意成本优化。Vercel 的案例表明,Serverless 的成本在流量激增时可能很高,因此需要谨慎选择平台和服务。 在社区建设方面,我认为真诚和信任是建立良好关系的关键。在回答问题时,应保持开放的心态,并尝试理解提问者的真正意图。内容创作应先阐述问题,再提供解决方案。在团队讨论中,应先确定解决方案的优先级和标准,再进行讨论。大型企业和初创公司在系统架构和设计方面有不同的侧重点,需要根据实际情况选择合适的方案。
