In my experience scaling a monolith just costs more (i.e. hosting costs). Our product, when we started, was quite expensive to run at our high traffic times, but we were eventually able to cut our costs drastically by breaking certain piece

Never, but I did live in the neighborhood to the west of it (Crown Heights) for a few years (where the shooting I mentioned happened). Crown Heights is much more gentrified now than when I lived there.

I suspect you're right. Can one, however, be compelled legally to delete a copy of a downloaded video that you were legally allowed to download? I suspect, therefore, that it will have legal standing that it will not be allowed in cour

At my last job, the 10:30am daily standup was very clearly intended to enforce the start time of the work day. Further, the company provided both lunch and dinner every day, and we were expected to be there for both, every day. Needless to

It certainly is. Personally, I've grown beyond purely breaking rules for the sake of it, without concern for the repercussions. I still break the rules, all the time, but only when I think the rules are wrong and no true harm will come

I'm amazed this submission doesn't get more love (maybe it's the fact that their dives start at 4:30pm ET so there are no up votes from the east coast crowd leaving work), but this really is great nerd fodder. Experts comment
