I've worked in 2 companies that were majority white and asian women. The degree by which they explicitly favored women and minorities probably bordered on illegal, but you'd have to be stupid to bring it up to anyone. Yay, diversi

Opinions like these are frustrating because, although they make valid points, it comes off as "they didn't do 100% exactly what I want, so I'm not using them at all." With many tools, there is a middle ground between usi

Is this required reading for startup founders? It's way over my head. I get some of the core concepts, but reading about this stuff makes me wonder why growing a startup can't more simple. I get that there are real world needs for

I've never worked at a company where the cloud budget fluctuated in the way that you are describing, and we certainly didn't run "simple application stacks." Costs and usage patterns are predictable. If you want to do wh

I think I see your point, which is that sometimes safeties/regulations are necessary to prevent harm from people that don't know what they're doing. However, I'd counter your firearm example with one of the world's

If you don't have a budget, then that's what you should establish first. If you can't get a handle on your budget, then no set of tools and techniques is going to save you.

Imo it's the author's attitude for why we have so many regulations on things. Their argument is essentially "I didn't do my reading to learn the implications of doing this thing, and now it hurt me." It's why t

When did journalists become so radicalized? Am I under the misguided assumption that there was a time when journalists cared about integrity and reporting the news (and not becoming the news)? It certainly feels like journalists are more ex

One of the Laws of Power is to have a "harmless vice" to display your faults. It makes others feel more comfortable and secure around you, especially if you're a high achiever, when they can see an obvious flaw.
