By all accounts Peacock is floundering and the industry is poised to start cross-licensing all their content again. Very few companies have the content library to pull off a first-party-only streaming service. Even Disney is struggling wi

Most of the people around me at work are this way - at the end of each day we're all scattering to go home and happy hours aren't a thing unless someone is celebrating a major life event.

Introverted married manager here. I can put on an outgoing and smooth exterior when I need to - it's how I got to where I am in management. I'm great with kids in short bursts. But these things are exhausting and doing them too

Pretty much anyone below VP at Fox is expected to still be getting their hands dirty, and I know VPs that are still deep in it.

Because you can't guarantee that everything (or even anything) in the source was actually applied. Whether it's because there was some error in doing so or because there just was no run. Additional potential issues: how are you ge

The providers are what implements the actual interaction/features with the cloud providers, and those licenses have not changed - it's just terraform core at this point. So really you have until HashiCorp changes the interface bet

The telcos making money from these calls disagree with your assessment of the economic harm of killing them. It'd be shut down in a heartbeat if they were costing them money.

I used to think extended warranties were bullshit. Then I bought the Samsung fridge with the huge touchscreen and the water pump/ice maker.

There's definitely something to the "choose boring technology" approach. But to paraphrase Palahniuk "on a long enough timeline the survival rate for all technology is zero". Everything becomes tech debt. If your

So people without cars are supposed to do what? Fast forward to the first emergency that actually needs this and you're gonna see a bunch of asphyxiation deaths from people running their cars in the garage to listen to the last AM radi

We went through and got Oracle out of our enterprise after a particularly nasty licensing negotiation and audit with them some years ago. So it does happen. I expect at some point we'll have a similar initiative around cloud providers

Comments intermingled with code help me navigate as I'm trying to accomplish my task. A simple comment every "paragraph" of code or so helps me narrow down the amount of code I need to mentally parse to get to the part that&#

Inbound = something that requires a response/action. Could be an automated alert that creates a ticket, could be a slack message from someone asking for something. If you're not great with it every message can feel like an inboun

It's not meant to have 100% feature parity with things like GitHub, it's meant to have better integration with their other services that need a basic repo. And that is generally the AWS MO - the first version or 2 of most of their

They all have issues once in a while. None is really head and shoulders above the rest. We've run up to 5 CDNs at once for very large events and still had issues. Taking a pragmatic approach the questions you need to be asking are mo

Just ordered new replacement windows from my house. Granted we picked out the most expensive line of windows for aesthetic reasons but the marginal increase for the CA mandated coating was ~5% of the overall cost of the windows. Do I expe

Wrong that some business models are impossible/shouldn't exist with cost of talent at X? Then you're arguing that every business model is possible/valid/should exist regardless of cost of talent? I'm not sure

At some point we'll find a new equilibrium. Everybody is currently so desperate for this talent, there's been a big shift toward remote work meaning competition that used to be highly localized is now everywhere, and giant compani

Agreed it's mostly undifferentiated heavy lifting still, and agreed it /should/ be easier. It previously took my team something like a year to get our infra all autoscaling - something I've found other teams aren't

When my system is running happily on a single VM with no real robustness issues then I don't really need to solve those robustness issues, and certainly not by bringing in a complex distributed platform to run it on. Or when my lack o

Anecdotally this is the first method I found to open the door when I got mine but it did take several seconds - time I would probably not like to spend if my car was on fire with me in it. Then the car made a noise and displayed a warning

Yeah my take is this is pretty meaningless - I "consider" quitting my job at least once a month and I have complete flexibility with remote work. Anecdotally up until recently we had a "hybrid" location requirement on ou
