Wow I'm really sorry this happened to you. I do believe your conclusions are correct about AWS. Azure generally seems fine too. Google's aversion to customer service makes them extremely dangerous as a cloud provider in my mind. T

I'm currently reading the soul of a new machine as mentioned in some other comments, I think it could potentially make a great movie. The first third of Hackers by Steven Levy has some interesting stories about the PDP-8 I think also c

My guess would be something regulatory. Perhaps a bill to make some types of cryptocurrency illegal.

Not a search engine but pretty often I will ask GPT-3 a question now if it's not easily googled. Often gives the initial context to Google follow up questions.

This seems pretty interesting to me. I haven't messed with firecracker yet but it seems like a possible alternative to docker in the future.

Web3 still seems pretty cool to me from the outside looking in. If the web3 app actually does something, crypto prices going down is not a bad thing just makes everything cheaper. Speculating on price has never been super exciting to me (no

Some people like working round the clock as hard as they can. Some people like playing with their kids in the evening. If you're a single 19 year old who can code pretty well, seeing what you accomplish at twitter might be appealing. F

Reid Hoffman extends this idea in an interesting way by talking about how you need different types of teams depending on what stage the company is at. One team to storm the beach, another team to capture the city, and another team to hold a

Hmm I was confused about this as well. Thank you for the clarification here. Perhaps we could get a title update to something like "WSL 2 out of beta". As an aside, I love WSL. Some of my favorite software out of Microsoft in year

Yes. It depends on a few factors but there are a number of startups that raised at peak of market and have now pulled the reins in for winter and have 20+ years of VC runway.

Cool business model and congrats on hitting $1k/mo. One route might be to do customer interviews and try to figure out why they use your product and what parts are most valuable to them.

LinkedIn's algorithm seems to be related to how active you are. One step you could try is reaching out to any recruiters you may have added over the years and ask them if they know of any open positions you might be a good fit for. If

In the current climate, I'm left wondering who still has their crypto on exchanges. Which maybe thats the problem - people withdrawing funds causing even more bank runs.

I like the idea of job security vs career security. Job security is your boss likes you and you did do most of that new project by yourself, nobody else even really knows how it works. Seems unlikely you would get fired. Career Security is

I believe Ray Dallio's most recent book talks about this a bit. Essentially the idea that more developed countries have slow downs in productivity related to waste. A year or two ago I read the book The Power Broker about a guy who was

You may have already thought of this but you could move the crypto to a stable coin like USDC while waiting for the tax / bank situation to be resolved (if that would not further complicate things).

So far most of the layoffs I've seen have been for nontechnical roles at big tech. In the 2000 crash it was still fairly easy to find a job if you could code. Even though the big tech companies of the time were doing mass layoffs and l

I read a good bit of news but I try to go deeper now. I'll generally take a look at the AP or the Wikipedia Current Events page. From there I'll try to get more context on what the news means with books or other long form content.
