To be honest forcing your employees into the office looks really desperate. It makes me think Amazon is in real trouble if they can’t create a website remotely and need to physically force employees into a big building to try to get them to

I can’t tell if this applies to AWS as well but companies that have gone on all in on cloud hosted infrastructure should probably come up with an exit strategy pretty quickly given Amazon’s general flailing. You really don’t want your imp

This focuses on communications after hours but there's an even more egregious thing that impacts many who work on computer systems. The companies decide the computer system must be up 24/7. Ok, fine. In the past things that needed

I know of a doctor who has to write weekly reports and has been using an LLM to generate them. I’m sure the people reading them are using an LLM to summarize them. It’s such an incredible waste of resources and time. I’ve said it before but

This is such a good point. We rely way too much on technical solutions. A better approach is to have hyperlocal offices where you can go to do business. Is this less “efficient”? Yes but when the proceeds of efficiency go to shareholders an

Inflation is caused by companies deciding to raise prices. It has nothing to do with government. Whether there's more or less money out there it's still the decision of the people running the company to raise prices or not. "
