In some companies yes, but in other ones when comparing two similarly priced products, the decision will be made based on something else than just a budget. Currently often the narrative is “we have it included for $0, why would we pay $100

Companies grow - today you have 50 engineers and a few microservices, in 2 years you might have 200 engineers and tons of APIs and web applications. I think if old orgs could have bought off the shelf developer portals years ago, they would

By default it offers you a few tools to better understand and manage your software landscape: - you have all your micro services catalogues in one place, with a fairly decent data model (services are grouped into systems, they are owned by

I’ve introduced it at a company with ~3,000 engineers and it’s been quite successful, though we do not yet leverage all of its power and we do have a dedicated team to run it and build on top of it We have a lot of in-house tooling and Back

Not sure about review sites, but there are companies specializing in ransomware negotiations on behalf of the victims and they can advise not to pay a group that is known to release the data anyway

Is there any comparably complete framework that does not need any significant adjustments even when it's used by 1000s of developers building the same app?

This is a first of its kind, I'm sure over time they'll become more efficient. But yes, probably not using carbon would be better, so maybe if we have proper capabilities and laws in place, companies might be forced to remove all

I’m quite surprised it’s dropped “only” by 55%. Musk made the offer just before a big drop in valuation of tech companies. Even if Twitter revenue remained stable it probably wouldn’t be worth $44B Musk paid. With a drop in usage, drop in a

The benefit is that you still profit from actions that break the law. If it's possible to stop breaking the law in a way that the revenue drop is smaller than $30M a year, they'll possibly do it at some point. However, it's p

The initial response had 2 problems - not counting Sally and counting sisters separately for each brother. Your hint pointed out the 1st problem, but then LLM should still provide wrong solution. This makes me think that maybe it would try

At this points it looks like Germany is almost allergic to innovation. Their government introduces more bureaucracy for companies, discouraging investments there. Berlin had a chance to take #1 spot as the tech capital of Europe post-Brexit

I've never seen this before. What an incredibly powerful act, this might have taken so much courage. Thank you for sharing!

It reminds me of Segway back in late 90s. Hailed as "the next big thing" by millionaires who invested in it, it was a mysterious device that nobody even knew what it would do. We all know how it ended

They're not mutually exclusive. Ideally OpenAI wants regulation that will put them ahead of others, which means: * set the bar high enough that competition needs to put more effort (or maybe is entirely prevented from entering the mark

I think there's a difference in how visible these skills are. As an engineer it's easy to practice many new skills and also to see improvement. I might be interested in orchestration, I pick up Kubernetes course. I want to build i

This. The state of leadership training in our industry is abysmal. Most managers I've met get little to no training when they transition to leadership roles. It's slightly better in larger companies, but as you say - a stark contr

Which is fine, isn't it? The way I see it, there are 2 options: either you buy software "as is" and can use it forever, but you don't get free access to updates (or get them up to certain point of time), or you pay for a

What’s your ratio of staff engineers to all engineers? I always think of staff as engineers working across multiple teams, so there should be ratio of 1:15 to maybe 1:30 (or in another terms, staff engineers should represent 3-7% of all eng

I'm a bit surprised to see this article on GitHub blog, it feels more like something from dev.to - looking at the surface, with little actual insights. Most of the provided reasons behind Python's popularity are true also for othe
