Thanks for sharing - as a TypeScript/NodeJS shop, it's very appealing to code infra tasks in the same language as our main domain logic. We currently use Listr ( https://github.com/SamVerschueren/listr ) for bu

“Everyone working full time should have a loveable wage”. It’s a useful thought experiment to see where does this break down for you. Does every startup deserve funding if the founder promises to commit full time? Does every aspiring artist

Let's try to price out couple features - 1. Spotify expects 2019 sales to grow by 20-30% but profitability is still MIA and their net loss will be $300M. Let's say they are thinking to add a feature to generate Excel extracts of y

If it landed on red 10 times in a row so far, the odds of landing another red on the next round are almost 50%. Gambler's fallacy is so much fun to observe at the tables though :)

It’s an apocryphal story that became popular with “new age” and personal development crowds to encourage you to not be like the masses. It is endearing and illustrative of a useful truism, but sadly made up to be that way. https:/&#x2

VCs with infinite capital, networks, business knowledge, and 100% focus are shooting for 1-in-10 investments to get a 10x return. It's rather optimistic to expect a success rate twice as good as their teams get. You're trying to g

AWS LB does not validate backend certificates, so you can put a self-signed cert on the instance. Heck, even if the cert expires it will still work, and make LB<->EC2 connection technically encrypted. Yay compliance.
