Location plays a role here. If you are in the industry where your people are paid 200k usd minimum then cloud will probably pay off, if you can pay them 1/5 of that, then it is probably another way around. Ahrefs cloud story reminds me

I don't know your experience, but mine is what I stated and I have been through two on-prem to cloud migration, one done with outside help and one without, one at Fortune 500 company with fairly, not Google scale, but large setup. Gene

Using any cloud only makes sense if a) you don't know how to setup things yourself and b) your project is so big, that salaries for ops would be higher than cloud cost. Also, be careful with b) since you still need people that know how

It is definitely a new thing that is highly sought after and I understand people that are pursuing it. However, if you need to make a decision if this is a usable tool for your setup, please, invest some time to test everything possible bef

Applications in question are all stateless and worked in distributed VM environment without issues, usually with simple Nginx or HAProxy redundancy setup. I see your point and it is valid, however, this wasn't the case in the examples

I am going to state a somewhat unpopular opinion, Kubernetes in their current form are just short from unusable in complex production environment. In order to run a full Kubernetes stack, you need to get a multitude of components running, e

I observed that happening around me for a long time, this research only confirms it, however, I think that the problem is stated in a wrong way. IMO the issue here is not that checkups are bad on their own, but rather that used medical chec

Solar and wind are great technologies that need impractical and eco-unfriendly batteries to become long term solutions. That doesn't mean that garbage burning cannot be augmented by wind and solar where there is opportunity for this. T

Complicated solution for a "simple" problem. It will probably not work. Why not build more garbage incinerators instead? Proven, readily available technology, that can solve immediate danger of not having enough gas for heating. U

I worked at my previous organisation with one 10x developer (I was a team lead) and managed to have him follow me to the new company. That person reached that status at the last position because management didn't have capacity to emplo

I agree with you, but judging by the whole article the main thing here was probably the same old story with outsourcing company either wanting to bill extraordinary amount of hours or employing novice to medium developers for the project bu

So basically this is once more a case, where cloud providers promise you everything then corner you into unforgiving situations where you have to spent most valuable thing (engineers' time) to avoid associated costs with particular v

One point of you to consider though, I guess FB runs pentests all the time, either internally or externally by appointing some other company to do it. That being said, if they pay that company 35k, for example, and they haven't found

I don't understand why people keep doing this to themselves. OP is ex-Googler and we can surely state that he knows his way around tech. Why would you, as a startup, go on route of using convoluted mess of tech that every cloud provide

Who cares, really? I lead a 13+ member software development team and two women that I work with are almost the best developers we have. As with everything in life, in practical sense, it all boils down on how long are you willing to work on

In my country there is a sort of obligation to get 10% of value in case you find something valuable but is more applied to found money. Many times people just return what they have found without taking any reward. This could be extrapolated

I am not saying that he will solve AGI on his own (he did quit rocket science after all), but you are greatly underestimating the impact he can have in the field. He basically evolved almost on his own two multi-billion dollar markets by do
