I agree with everything you have said. But the trends in "The Enterprise" are to eschew these ideas in favor of overly complex serverless architectures with poorly specified interfaces where any pluggable developer/resource c

I agree with this and think it touches on a more fundamental issue with our industry; in general, developers are not viewed as professionals by their employers or eve themselves. I think many of the negative aspects of the profession can be

I applaud your willingness to manage up as well as down. I can't tell you how rare it is for a middle manager to trust the engineers in their charge to make these types of decision. At most places, where bastardized "Agile" h

As noted later in the article, she got two thumbs up; doesn't this justify her actions </s>.

Email lists are not private if you choose to sign up for one and post to it, the same way Twitter is not private if you choose to sign up and post to it. Email lists are very similar to Usenet which was the precursor to all these social med

I suggest the biggest problem we have in the industry is a laziness towards engineering and an unwillingness by business to accept the law of fast, good and cheap. Very few organizations use real data and the scientific method to make decis

Yeah, I had a similar take. A lot of what he writes seems to come back to keeping the YC pipeline full. Half way through the essay I was thinking, surely this can't be the first time PG has realized the idea of "playing the game&q

But your missing the key part. Sometimes if the Fed sets rates too low and there's not enough demand for the bonds the Fed buys the bonds thus keeping the interest rates artificially low.

The explanation makes it sound as if the author of one of these tweet threads can start working on one but leave it in some unfinished state until such time when the author can publish it all at once. If that's the case then I can kind

I saw a somewhat recent interview with Jennings where he called Silicon Valley a "cult of money" now. This struck me as such a succinct label that captures the essence of the current state of things on so many levels.
