Yep, it is still a matter of abandoning the monolith and building a new scalable system in whatever fashion you choose at that time, micro services or whatever. In today's cloud deployments where cost is not a mega concern (as compared

I'm surprised there is no mention of the Bitcoin white paper. One of the most practical consensus protocols out there. Sure there is a lot of emphasis on the currency itself but I found the consensus protocol explanation so simple and

This is somewhat analogous to programmers who type very fast but delete half of what they type. This is very subjective again, most of the deletes can be legit deletes. There is a difference in the mistakes that are deleted and deletes that

You've hit the nail on the fundamental issue. Authenticity check at the Physical -> Digital touch point. Some efforts such as digital KYC for banking are able to solve this because the process involves a government issued identity,

Even to this day, employee no 1 will be offered stocks in the range of 0.5 - 1%. Calling BS on this has not yielded any great results. If not anything, there should be some clause that benefits the first 2 or 3 employees with an outsized mo

At the time I thought, “Okay, I’m going to be building this website to run a bookstore and I haven’t done that before but it doesn’t sound so hard. When I’m done with that I’m not sure what I’ll do.” Love this attitude. As flippant as it se

Looks very cool. Can you possibly make the dangling part swappable so that you have amazing combinations of mix and match possibilities. Somewhat like the Apple Watch. All day wearing comfort is another factor I'd focus on. This opens

I get the hating. By that argument, even private jets are an abomination and so is the lifestyle of almost every billionaire out there. It is no surprise that the top 1% account for all of the pollution of the bottom 50% of the population.

I feel the same but in the end Erik does mention that the will follow up with more actionable items on how to build a personal moat. So this is more like an intro post. Somehow, there is very little importance given to values in all these p

As someone who has mostly written early stage software with 1 to 3 developers, the single most reason to skip tests is the rapidly changing APIs. Also it is ok to ship somewhat buggy code. Use case validation and speed trumps accuracy. Also

Theft is a major issue and all anti-theft measures will result in increased cost. One possible option is for the battery manufacturers to make the stolen batteries useless by short circuiting them or something like that. So there is total d

totally, not debating that battery swap won't work for cars in the future but as of now, it probably won't. Also, the changing business model resulting from the battery and the vehicle separation will most certainly lead to innova

Better place, An Israeli startup tried electric cars with battery swapping and failed miserably. So, decoupling battery from the car and allowing better competition in the battery space might fly. Car makers need not be bothered by the batt

Agreed, I don't imply that developers should talk to customers but they should at least work with support team in a more cohesive manner. I have seen the flip side also where the developers are very accessible, support pushes every min

Precisely. I get that a large portion of the population just wants to pick up the phone and call but that can be totally avoided with so many messaging outlets today. On the one extreme you can offer voice based support - Just blurt out you

I work closely with support teams and it's one of the toughest jobs in tech. I say toughest because it is stressful and the payoff for that stress isn't that high. I still don't understand why companies treat support as a sec

Totally unrelated but my current favorite breakfast is a peanut butter banana milkshake. < 2 mins prep, well balanced and doesn't ruin your tastebuds. Add some protein powder if needed. The bestest breakfast on earth.

Well, the advantage I see with humanoid hands is that the same task that a human does can be done much faster by a humanoid hand. For instance chopping onions or other vegetables. Even dishwashing.

Can I surmise that most automation in dishwashing etc is geared for commercial enterprises ? I find the same lacking in a household. Sure you have the traditional dishwashers and vegetable choppers but they are largely clumsy to use and sti

Am quite surprised and quite honestly shocked that it took this long for US or any country to recognize this fact. It's not just a fair playing field war between US and China, but between China and rest of the world. Even India, whose
