In the Jetson, a jetpack doesn't have to care about fuel capacity, safety of the pilot, regulations, and cost of production. But in real life these are legitimate engineering constraints. Also, if you can scale up a drone to be a 1-per

I would love to read stories about the old tech stack of Amazon. It would be very fascinating to read. I only read little bits about them, e.g. Obidos and Gurupa. I also heard that content authoring used Emacs back in the day, was that true

Of course, and it is vastly better than using an ORM.

PostgreSQL Aurora alone is worth it to use the cloud (or GCP equivalent of it). IAM role alone is worth it to be on the cloud. Haphazard iptable rules aren’t helping anyone. S3 bucket alone is worth it to be on the cloud. Your deployment&#x

oh, I heard mobility at Google is trivial? I guess that’s just a myth.

But it can be a dumb pipe. More and more companies prefer that. Just deploy everything on EKS and use only foundational services such as S3 and PostgreSQL Aurora. There you go: Dumb Pipes. Edit: When I say dumb, it's more like: Dumb en

To be honest, as a customer, it is hard for me to justify using DynamoDB. Some of this criticism can be out of date: 1. DynamoDB is not as convenient. There are a bit too many dials to turn. 2. DynamoDB does not have a SQL facade on top. 3.

Is this statement true? I don't watch a lot of entertainment myself, but even I have heard of The Squid Game drama on Netflix. And that counts as a new content.

Why not? It's a loss to humanity's progress if all researchers make it difficult to find the code and data.

I agree. I would go as far as saying that LeetCode interview is biased against older engineers with families. Especially young families.

The article is concise but missing a lot of real-life examples: * The highest paying software companies employ LeetCode style interview. That is off-putting to a lot of people even though the money would be super sweet to have. * Some wanna

What's even harder is product-market fit. I can blitz through building a basic SaaS product, but will it be worthwhile to: 1. Make enough money to replace $dayjob. 2. Make enough money to even cover the headache of supporting customers

To be honest, I don't. Websites like Reddit or Hacker News are better because they provide popularity scores into the links, helping me filtered out junk links.
