You would never put it on? I think it’s fine if you turn it off because it’s a huge call or you’re occasionally doing the dishes or whatever, but always off is disrespectful to your colleagues imho.

Yeah same. I have found a strong correlation between people who always(not sometimes) have camera off and people who are average-to-poor at their jobs and end up getting let go. It’s a decent indicator of someone who is checked out or medio

Weirdly I think rivian too. They think they can be better at car media software than apple - they’re wrong, and I hope they change their mind.

yup! me too. Thats how i ended up buying a new car instead of a recent second-hand version of the same. Carplay was an absolute non-negotiable must have.

But not one physical table. It is certainly sharded across 1000s of machines. Basically a tuple store at that point, rather than a rdbms

I’m not sure it’s possible or desirable to make a low memory search index. Like, fundamentally you’re going to want the indexes in RAM for performance, no?

Tell your scrum master to go jump (or even better don’t work anywhere with a scrum master). If your title is principal architect, then the business expects different things out of you than story points.

Ah yes let’s use data from 100+ years ago from a nearly pre-industrial economy as the basis for what we should do today

There’s at least some disincentive to doing this with card networks (have to talk to someone, do it too many times and they’ll cancel your card , etc). Automatic, no questions asked unarbitrated disputes would collapse the system very quick

this is a huge factor. I have found a lot of vp/exec folk are totally blind to the fat that their significant wealth makes commutes go away, and makes it easy to have a decent lifestyle AND be close to the office. This is especially an

I think that article misrepresents it a little, makes it sound like they had no product. Both the current and previous startup I worked at has been a paying customer of theres, at scale, making it about 6 years total

i dont disagree, but just to note the CSR gives you $300 back on a very broad, very easy to hit "travel credit", making it 250 a year effectively.

even if you know how to do it, running large sharded rdbms clusters is incredibly far from "breezingly easy"

I’ve seen splitting things go bad too. But less often and to a lesser degree of pain than mono dbs - a bad split is much easier to undo than monodb spaghetti. However I think it’s “thou shall” rules like this blog post that force useless ar

This is so painfully painfully true. I’ve seen in born out personally at three different companies so far. Premature splitting up is bad too, but I think the “just use one Postgres for everything” crowd really underestimate how bad it gets

I am willing to bet $100, through any escrow mechanism of your choosing, that we are not getting locked down again. There’s no appetite for it, and no reason to do so. Vaccine requirements are not a “lockdown” though by any common understa

I totally agree that noones friends are a random sample. Definitely not mine, and I haven’t lived there for awhile now so they are static, and probably even less representative. I guess I read your initial post as some generalization like “

I guess? But that’s not really a very good comparison? It’s apples and oranges, unless your friend ground in SF was similarly majorly from improv (or a similar creative endeavor). Like, if I moved anywhere and made most of my friends from a

You can’t “just grant stocks” though without subjecting employees to massive tax liabilities on non-liquid shares. That’s the primary reason options and RSUs exist. Unless I didn’t understand what you were saying

you can keep your puritan personal take on this, and live by it all you want. All the rest of us ask is that you don't try and impose your restrictive personal beliefs on us, directly or via appartus of the state. That shouldnt be c

i mean i dont want to overstate it, its still a far better experience than dealing with the regular medical primary care system. Just, in the last ~12 mo or so id had enough problems - multiple MDs id seen before gone, 4+ days to get a mess

thank you for elaborating! Everything you say makes sense, and is hard to argue against. I guess i just disagree somewhat in the magnitude of these factors, im a bit more optimistic. I think its hard to imagine a bigger-than-2008 size coll

Curious why do you think that though? It’s only dooming if there’s no reasoning behind the negativity :)

SF area has declined too; long response times, high dr churn. This whole discussion has validated what I’d been noticing!

This just isn’t true. EKS is well supported now and works quite well. Amazon originally bet on ECS years and years ago before it was clear k8s was going to win, but they’ve committed to EKS now. Re docker - ECS, and fargate(fargate suppor
