I use Google Contacts, which syncs with the Contacts apps on my macOS and iOS. There are fields for contact info, and important dates. If there is any other important info, I add a note.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking? Are you asking if a bank/credit union (e.g. Ally, MITFCU) could go serverless? Assuming that is your question, here is my response: Maybe. Note that there is more to the bank than the custom

Blame the channel creators. I'm surprised Netflix still doesn't have the option to input a code on a website. Amazon, Showtime, and numerous other channels support this feature.

A direct report has a salary concern. You promised something to the direct report. You take this to your manager, and he tells you to “speak like a leader, not an engineer”. Did I get all that right? If this is accurate, you left a lot of d

The primary advantage was time to market. When I started five years ago edX had a monolith that was deployed weekly...after a weekend of manual testing. The organization was not ready to improve that process, so we opted for SOA. By the tim
