Ask HN: Is the Tech Bubble Crashing?
10 by tempsy | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I’m looking in awe of the total carnage in a lot of tech stocks over the past year or so, and accelerating in the last few weeks/months. While the FAANGs have so far held up ok (ex-Netflix), there’s a lot of small or mid cap tech stocks that are down 50% or more in just a few weeks. ARKK and related ETFs are down more than 50% since Feb 2021 highs. I understand a lot of this is due to the Fed’s new hawkish stance which disproportionately impacts high p/e stocks like many public tech companies due to rising rates and asset purchase tapering. But how long is this trend away from tech going to last?

Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter
22 by rhl314 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making. Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored. This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this. A bit more about the software 1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux machines 3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongodb out of the box. 4. Will keep adding more load testing targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones) I hope to open source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new targets. Hope this makes load testing fun again
