> Auth with MS accounts is a giant mess. I agree. It is surprising that we don't see similar issues more often. It is *so* confusing to both users and the developers, to the point where it's too easy to make some naive mistakes

Although I agree that companies (Microsoft, Google, etc.) deliberately seek to authenticate you across the web, I do not think that the general mess with Microsoft authentication is on purpose. It looks like generations of implementations (

Another problem with "BigData": hiring and the tendency of the ecosystem to "sustain" itself (like any system). As a company hires traditional BigData Architects, Developers, Data Scientists, Engineers, etc. it will natu

Answering the direct question in a simplistic way: because this is the preferred style of collaboration for these employers you are talking about. Let me elaborate. It is not good or bad, effective or ineffective, nor it is the case for all

I ride my bike almost every (working) day for several decades and I can truly say I master it. And yet I wear a helmet every time - that's basic risk management. Yes, the shipping process must be automated, tested, have safeguards (acc

Because there are many use cases for historical data (algorithms' training or its cross-analysis with other data, for instance), while lots of APIs focus on forecasting. Maybe at this point we need more innovation in either the forecas

I find it curious that most weather services focus on weather predictions first, historical data second (or not at all). I am still looking out for a service that would provide historical data, allow me to update it on a daily basis (like,

I feel for you. With an almost 20-year-long career in software engineering, it often feels like I am moving into a similar place. A few years ago I was lucky to join a now-healthy start up, but I surely do wonder what's next. So, I won

Thank you so much for this. I mean, it sounds obvious to state it like this - set the goal first. And yet it is actually something I didn't do.

Hm. Thank you, actually an interesting idea. Provided I can find something that is compatible with a modern motherboard (so as to be able to upgrade later), it can be an interesting option to limit the cost at start.
