Naples is not a region though, it doesn't make any sense to compare that in this conversation. Maybe Campania would work though.

I hear this very often and while deep down it's a reasonable take, the more you think about it, the less useful as advice it becomes. While I can't comment about Facebook specifically (I haven't been on it for over a decade b

Speaking from personal experience, most outages are contained and mitigated within a specific service before they end up impacting other services too. Cascade effects are rare, you just notice them more often because they affect multiple pe

Former Google SRE here, I can share my experience although I've never been involved in a large serious outage (thankfully). I've had my fair share of smaller multi-team outages though. Usually the way it works is so that we have m

Japanese kids learn to write hiragana and katakana at similar age which is comparable to the Latin Alphabet. By comparison, most English speakers still participate in stuff like spelling bees and have to actively learn to spell individual w

It really depends. Think about it this way, would you rather have an undisclosed vulnerability go untreated and undetected (as far as everyone knows) for an extra year, or suddenly disclose it to the rest of the world before all major inter

From what I've seen in my team, it's very subjective. I think it's more of a "you need to have a reason to WFH", it's fine if once in a while you just stay home and work and all that matters is your deliverable
