Just finished reading Dictator Handbook. So, the catch is - it doesn’t matter for the politicians. They want to give those tax incentives to get re-elected. Whether it is proven or not is irrelevant as they will find another reason to do it

You don’t need kubernetes to do it, any cloud provider has api that will make it possible. Kube main point is declarative model, which comes with a big price (like sql had). Yaml - is error prone way to achieve anything. Will see if history

So, I’m not the only person who sees the similarity. I was born in USSR and later moved to USA. Some (many) approaches to management in some very famous and rich companies constantly remind me of Soviet’s approach to management. It does not

Not surprised. I think we have to get out of GCS as soon as possible.

You imagined wrong :) Before using GCP I thought highly of them. Not I actually understand why they are number 3 or 4, well deserved.

It is time and not a priority. A lot of things can be done given unlimited time and resources, but unfortunately we don’t have that.

You are forgetting one thing - you can have a storefront that has multiple kitchens behind the scene. The concept just decouples a kitchen from a table.

I wonder why the author used Bezos as an example. It doesn’t look like he took his grandfather’s lesson to the heart.

My biased opinion: worrying about super intelligent AI taking over the world with current state of technology is equal to worrying about fighting an alien invasion of our colonies in another galaxy. Both are great topics for a epic book. Ha

I mean, isn’t array vs linked list similar? In theory linked list has a lot of good applications, but in real life it doesn’t.

Well, looks like I will be forced to increase the rent next year to a maximum so I can decrease long term risk.

I worked for a gaming company, so, mostly curiosity. I do believe it is going to fail.

It doesn’t matter who has the weapon. What matter is whether it is targeting you.

I would say, their source code should be available for anyone to see, especially security researches. And what is installed on the phone should be exactly what is available in public.

What is the point of sharing it? How is it different from any other company? I also find Title misleading, Ladder is not a framework - it is a way to retain talent. And I find it to be quite silly (as an eng who held highest level position

I tend to agree that, given compiler doesn’t care most of time, saving characters can’t justify decrease in readability.

Well, I do agree with some points in the article, but I don’t believe even the author really understands how the env. he runs his code on works. There is more to it than just knowing the language, one might argue that you have to know the O

They say appreciation is icing on the cake + negative cash flow means that you are constantly investing and can’t pause. Not the best situation to be in.

They are not overpriced. When eng with 10 years of expirience can make 250base + 500k in stock per year (or 4 years can get 1M in pre IPO lyft stock), it is hard not to see why Bay Area houses are so expensive. Area with money coming in wil

So, I probably drastically misunderstanding how rent control works, but I don’t see how it is going to help. I would argue it will push house prices even higher as you will have less people trying to rent places. Why? I was reading a bit ab

I;m not saying you should not do that, I'm saying your focus should not be there. When things go south your CEO rarely is interested in CPU utilization, or error rate. The question they usually ask: How bad is it? What is user impact?

I would add - you should start your monitoring with business metrics. Monitoring low level things is good to have but putting whole emphasis on it is missing the whole point. You should be able to answer at any point of time whether users a

That was my observation as well. And that is why women in the office are often out-yelled. I don’t see how soft spoken person can solve it, it should be recognized by the leadership as a problem first, and only then solution can be found.

They are not the only ones who are not monitoring from customer perspective. It is actually hard, as it involves much more than watching some metric. I proposed a user experience monitoring system for my ex employer, which was based on a ve

That is my understanding as well. Not sure why a lot of folks are sticking to pilot certification idea. IMO, removing G-force sensor from the system should be looked into. I just can’t see any sane engineer agrees to do so. They used it to

Did we learn the lesson? Protobufs are getting traction, and some rising star companies started using them for data related purposes. The problem they are facing - change in the protobuf is not automatically reflected in you data schema (no
