It's almost a crime that Azure is winning against GCP, like an old jalopy out-selling a Tesla. Yet this article touches upon why, with inferior tech, Microsoft is killing it. Good on them for their business relationship management.

Same here. Not to derail OP's point on how the use cases are different, but us developers are all trained on using APIs with our cloud backends by now. Obviously Azure produced something of similar quality to the awscli.

To be fair, Microsoft has only decided on Kubernetes within the last year. Before that there was heated debate on whether to support K8 or ServiceFabric, their "competing" standard. Now that all efforts are on K8 we'll see it

I worked in startups for 10 years, now I'm at my first big corporate gig. I'd say that it's not as bad as it sounds, as dramatic stories tend to find their way up the HN ranking. Working for big corp you have to pay the &quot

Invest as much of your money as you can. I'm investing around 30-40% per year (no family, no kids but I do have a mortgage). At my rate the absolute outer limit of when I'll have to work is 55, but I could easily retire by 50. I d
