About a decade ago, a mobile gaming company I was at, accidentally shipped a full-screen ad without the art asset for the close button, so the button was invisible. The ad basically forced users to visit the in-app store for a moment before

Russia isn’t using these recruits for anything more than meatwave attacks, so their life expectancy isn’t long enough to be useful for sabotage. By the time they’ve been transported to the front, they will be dead whether they go willingly

I keep seeing this implication that microservices somehow allow teams to move faster, but every company I've seen them at has moved at a snails pace mostly because of the clusterfuck of microservices. What would've been a trivial
