Oh absolutely. But I don't know how much of a "blockchain" that really is depending on how you define it. When I think blockchain, I think miners/proof of work/etc. Is a CT log a blockchain? Because really what we&#

I agree that would be a potential solution but it's too far removed from reality to even be a consideration imo. You'd need some sort of negative affirmation as well. "when I published this article, searching for it yielded n

I am. There is inherent risk with investing. Buying up stock because of a tweet by the ceo who was "thinking about" (even if he did have funding secured) isn't the most sound financial decision IMO.

The sheer amount of open source code that pretty much any software out there runs on is absolutely astonishing. Especially when you start taking into account transitive dependencies. Say I'm running Java... Someone had to compile the J

I can't help but feel that "Netflix for X" is an incredibly trite and poorly chosen phrase. Nobody is the Netflix of Open Source... maybe Netflix is? A subscription model doesn't make one "the Netflix of $industry&q

RDS is better than running your own but in my experience, RDS was always kind of a meh product. One of my friends was telling me that they don't dogfood RDS internally since relational databases aren't allowed at Amazon.

Agree with all of this. I don't work at a small company but refactoring and especially rewriting code is difficult and error prone. It's a crazy thought but in many cases, it can be better to just leave the legacy code alone. It&#

I disagree. Rewrites are risky because you're changing code that has been working for some time. It is easy to introduce bugs into a sufficiently complex system when refactoring. "The idea that new code is better than old is paten

I'm okay with this. They are paying me because the work isn't something that I'd do in my free time. I'm okay knowing that others can do my job as well as I can. Its not art, it's a job. (to me)
