Azure Functions PM here. We have some cold start behavior as well, but we generally only see it for the first request. You can also enable always on, which keeps the host hot, but that disables serverless billing.

I'm glad someone else said it. I work on Azure, so I thought maybe I was just in a bubble, but the various "Death to PaaS" articles not mentioning Azure or AWS seemed odd. Azure App Service is just one of the PaaS services we

This is pretty much the answer. GitHub identity <> Corporate identity. Jeff's portal helps join those two, so that permissions & legal can be handled automatically. If you ever contributed to a Microsoft Org owned repo, you&#

If Lambda open sourced the engine, but didn't make it super easy (as in a 1-button deploy, nothing intentional) to stand up your own stand alone Lambda service, would that be better? On my projects that have been open sourced, we mostl

Win8 didn't really deliver on the Universal OS concept. There is a difference between "'Windows' everywhere" and " Windows everywhere"; though it will be interesting to see if that's enough to conv

Oh yeah. None of this is simple black and white. My main assertion is that systems are generally trying to maintain homeostasis. In order to change the system, it's sometimes necessary is disrupt/ignore the system; especially when

Sometimes it's exactly the best way to fix it. Have something so good and popular the law has to change. Prohibition didn't end because people missed the taste of alcohol; it was because people kept on drinking (and the illicit na

Program Managers are not Project Managers nor Product Managers. We perform the roles of one or both depending on the Org (which is kind of annoying that that isn't more predictable). Our primary role is customer advocate. You can see S

I'm still naive enough to believe there is more than money out of a job. I really do like making new products and having people like them. There is always another opportunity out there. Microsoft has rewarded me pretty dang well so far

I'm a PM at Microsoft and this post hits close to home. I think there are a good number of PMs that you're talking about. It's easy for the PM role to evolve into pure politics because our job is to represent the customer. Ju

What if the "robotic" questions themselves have a bias? They almost certainly do. (They've already turned off people who don't like robotic questions. :P) Demographic diversity is just as important as creative/intel

I replied with something similar elsewhere. The content producers have to pay for hosting (generally). Their business model may not work, but adblocking is basically circumventing their revenue model. The only "fair" means would b

I would argue the content producers do receive a larger burden due to the costs of hosting that content. A more fair argument would be that users should just boycott the site, not consume it in an altered means. That kind of gets into the w

I'm so torn on Adblockers. While I agree that advertisers generally don't act in good faith, the penalty falls unfairly on content producers. Two wrongs don't make a right, but maybe the middle ground is to be a responsible w
