I left my job at a publicly traded company you've heard of in the summer, seeing layoffs on the horizon (i was right!). The company has never responded to my request for a shipping label to return the macbook they bought for me. But it

no way the final price us $42. that’s just filler copy drawn from what the ai computer says in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Going from free to $500/yr is nuts. $10/mo seems more like the right price

although i love the cinema and watch a lot of tv, i'm kind of indifferent to the problem of streaming content disappearing. before streaming content i watched a lot less and read a lot more, and i think i was better for it. so if they

layoffs are herd behavior among tech execs right now. nobody really knows why they have to do it but everyone else is and wall street likes it. it’s irrational, hurts morale, has little impact on the bottom line, it’s just stupid.

I do find the wikipedia donation nags annoying (they go away if you register), and it's wild how much money they have. But Wikipedia is also one of the best things on the internet, one of the best holdovers from the golden age of the w

you definitely shouldn’t be on call for alerts managed by another team. a lot of smells in the observability story here, i’d be pushing for an overhaul

if the alerts are usually false positives you need new alerts!

in my experience most engineering shops that care about database perf are not using ORMs except for the most generic CRUD features. you gotta handroll your queries with an eye on EXPLAIN once you pass a billion rows in your tables, in my ex

again, there were definitely huge problems with PHP prior to 5.6 and 7, but the flaws in the language that made it a security nightmare have been gone for about 10 years (at least). Now the main problem is that it's still used as a dyn

PHP has been pretty good for a long time now. PHP 7 was released in 2015. It's a vibrant and living language that now has a very nice type system and a super-fast JIT. Most of what people hate about PHP is from PHP 4, even 5.6 was pret

if your project is managed by composer you just set your compatible php version and you’re set. the 5.6 to 7 conversion was painless for most because 7 was largely backwards incompatible. I did it for a 300kloc 10 year old codebase in a few

the rail companies could avoid a strike by agreeing on the sick leave terms and hiring more workers to add slack to the system. why aren’t they to blame? this is a system where people are dying on the job because they can’t take time to see

crypto is a ponzi scheme because liquidity in it only comes from the next sucker buying in. it’s not connected to anything that generates or has value, you can only get out of your position if you can convince some one else to hold the bag.
