Having gone through several levels of the startup life and several economic swings myself, I can say this isn't mutually exclusive. Letting people go means economic hardship for them, but so does delaying a company's death and fol

A fascinating counterpoint to this is the German government, who not just as probably the first country did something distinctly different to quarantine (it's called contact prohibition and you can go anywhere you like as long as you d

Playing a game or watching a movie feels good — but at the same time, you're living someone elses' dreams. All this dopamine, all this adrenaline will feel so good and make you tired just enough to conveniently forget about your o

Nice idea and all the best of luck to the team, but if experience has taught me anything, it's that the staging topic is extremely hard, mostly due to conflicting requirements. On one hand, what you want is as much prod/stage pari

Interesting. As a mid level GCP customer, it won't make a big dent on our bill specifically, but in the end, I'm not sure this pricing move is a smart strategy. With this fixed fee model, the change will barely make a difference (

Often times that’s not needed if you actually use the full power of PG. CHECK constraints go a long way, and where they don‘t go, PG/PSQL goes pretty much a long way. For internal or prototypical use cases, that can be totally sufficie

There are some nice pieces in there occasionally, but if you ask me, nothing really replaces managing people on your own and A/B test all those things you hear and read about in practice. Your personality is unique to you and you'

Actually, this makes a lot of sense. Reasoning about a single machine is just way simpler and keeps the full power of a modern transactional database at your fingertips. Backups keep taking longer and disaster recovery isn‘t as speedy anymo

The correct answer here is "it depends". SAP isn't (just) a giant pile of steaming data model mess because of the thousands of people involved building that software, but really because it can model every tax case in every co

I definitely do, but only in preparing for the first interview. Your top bet through my front door is a tidy 1-2 page CV, fronted by a two paragraph intro that shows me your motivation and fit for the position, preferably in a very personal

I'd argue on ClickHouse not even being that fast (compared to comparable technology like Snowflake, Redshift or BigQuery) but actually the ScyllaDB example being completely misleading. Scylla is probably one of the fastest OLTP datasto

I can jump in at being just a year apart from GP, mine are 3 and 5 now and it's already starting to get better massively. Having them so close to each other makes for some extremely hard first 2-3 years, but then they can actually rela

It won't. As a manufacturer, you can sell the same display cheaper as a Smart than a Dumb TV due to existing preinstallation and tracking agreements with third parties. Just don't connect it to the net — as long as that still work

This is slightly missing the point. Lots of successful large scale databases have been written in garbage collected languages, including for example Cassandra and ElasticSearch. They're completely fine. What's important to notice
