Also a lot of PMs are former engineers. One could argue a person capable of doing both at a high level is "smarter" than a person who cannot. Certainly they would have a unique perspective compared to people who have only been on

This is a ridiculous take. Vaccines have long been our most effective weapon against infectious disease, especially viruses. The CDC screwed up a number of things in the last few years, but vaccination is a vital tool for protecting the who

You only implement the Plan B if Plan A fails. Plan B doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be as simple as, “I’m going to look into using this third-party service to solve 99% of this problem, but if it isn’t a good fit or it’s too expensiv

Where does the article imply that seniors don’t do research? How exactly do you expect that anyone can know these things without doing research? The point of the article is that juniors jump into the work without doing the research to figur

This is a strange interpretation. It does not matter whether you are working on the simplest web page or a brand new problem that no one has solved before: it is absolutely necessary that you clearly articulate the problem you are trying to

I've definitely read some Wikipedia pages on niche technical topics in my field that were clearly written by someone with _some_ degree of expertise (maybe a grad student) but with no understanding of the purpose, standards, and style

I've never liked how people say that statistics is useful but calculus is not. I do not believe that you can actually understand statistics without understanding at least some calculus. So much of statistics is about areas under curves

You probably don't need to know how to compute a derivative, but there are tons of related concepts that are helpful for reasoning about systems in the world. You can always Google the chain rule, but having a general sense of the tren

Therapy can help. Some people can learn to manage it without needing drugs, or at least without being as dependent on drugs.

I would be surprised if acquisition rumors made it that far down the chain so early, but I’m sure that Jeff saw the writing on the wall with how RV management was approaching things.

My guess is that companies adopting cloud services are companies who consider technology a strategic investment and would likely be hiring more IT staff regardless of the migration. Companies that aren't interested in spending more on

People are the most important part of any operation! That's the last thing you want to cheap out on.

Yup, that's generally true. Otherwise, you really might not be better off with AWS.

Not to mention compliance. If you have to go through third-party audits (and most businesses do after reaching a certain size), then using standard services from a public cloud provider can simplify things significantly. Sometimes that&#x27

Thank you for bringing up the engineering cost. People always look at this as just AWS > Bare metal or whatever, but there's so much more to it than that. If they saved $800k per year, and they have to hire four additional ops engin

I think that statement about EC2 is a little too strong. You definitely shouldn't be managing individual EC2 instances in most cases, and you probably shouldn't be deploying directly to EC2. But if you're running EKS (Kuberne

True, but there's an opportunity cost to having worked at Company X on the assumption that your RSUs would appreciate in value, when in fact they decreased and you could have worked at Company Y instead.

Why do you think that other companies will see an uptick in users from this? Most companies are not going to renegotiate contracts, update all their processes and tools, and retrain all their users just because this got bought by Adobe (whi
