I don't know about "lot more necessary". The images are one part of the equation especially to meet various regulations. There is a ton to running a large scale service especially if you are the service that the people who ar

It's sold as a service because it drives compute. Compute is one of the top money makers. The more people who buy into things like k8 that are essentially VM deployment launchers the better. The providers aren't emotional about th

" But the success of US tech companies is certainly notable." One of the funniest statements ever following an assertion of empiricism. The left's idea of "leading" is always amusing. The left in the socialist parad

Some of my favorite themes here. 1) People asserting that the court was right or wrong followed by some "argument". The court simply ruled. Anything beyond that is the same as people who use statistics to provide "evidence&qu

I am grateful for Stallman's efforts but claiming cloud is a nefarious plot no matter the style is not "legit". As for the voting, join the club. Like all communities online HNN is an often hypocritical cliquefest where the m

My bad. A clever marketing decision made me see the capital SQL as SQL Server since I am used to people saying Postgres, MySQL or SQL.

Sorry for technical tangent but curious. Your decision making on GCP appears to appeal to best of breed + cost. But you put SQL Server on AWS? If you are saying SQL Server is better on AWS than on Azure it would be interesting to learn why.

I'm not sure any provider appearing to capitalize on a momentary pricing decision is a great idea. All are too big and things change too fast for any crowing as if anything is a long term decision. Replies on another thread by alleged

I think you are saying you want the industry to be better. I support that. But until we get there, the need for people who can airdrop is going to be there. Sometimes you may be dealing with a fortune 50 like customer with lots of $$$ in pl

If I take your comment to mean collaborating is good and some people are better than others at parts of a solution because they are currently specialized I agree. The "right" answer is often difficult in practice especially when y

Bonus points for understatement in title that caught me at just right time to lol. Will skip reading comments because I know some k8 fan boy or some other type of religious enthusiast will insist all of it is solved.

A1) Your typical mega corp that is too big to be one thing and filled with geniuses around every corner. So some parts are a pit and some parts aren't. It depends. A2)Probably don't have to worry about it.

Any software "Architect" who can't build what they say to build should have to get a new job. Any programmer of less experience who continues to argue with the "Architect" after they have met the challenge of provin

How does an industry so full of brilliant people who consider themselves much smarter than their users keep arguing in these absolutes about programmers like their skills are easily classified. Many things have become popular that were orig

First of all something called "Psychological Science" already raises my hackles. Science in general has become so corrupt and politically oriented it makes killing elephants to vilify your technical rival's creation look unde

I try to stay apolitical on boards that I want to see nerd stuff on but if you're going to essentially invoke Rawls veil then please explain why policy based on that way of thinking tends to produce worse outcomes than intended or in t

There are a lot of problems in the industry but the experienced helping the inexperienced on demand in response to a crisis doesn't seem like one that is nearly as serious as others. I am old enough to have been on XP teams and to have

If the argument the blog is trying to make is Architects can't know everything then it's a bad article to submit. On the other hand, if the argument is a boss should not expect someone called Architect or senior engineer etc. to b

I am convinced that people who write things like this don't believe intelligence is genetic. You no more earned how smart you are than you earned your race. Wisdom? Determination? Scars? You can claim to earn or learn some of those. Do

I admire people who follow their convictions. But, all the faith and all the good intentions in the world do not make for good policy and more importantly harmful policy if acted upon. I am consistently amazed by the sanctimonious incoheren

Been doing this for while now in the crazy competitive world of cloud and enterprise. At that scale, this recommendation does not work. Customer facing teams are also very different in focus and there are dangers to thinking one is prioriti
