What worries me about space innovation is the fact that there is such little margin for error. Materials are being stressed so much while trying to defy the laws of physics that the smallest angle error, the smallest pressure mismatch, smal

I think this is a happy consequence of the WordPress drama.

I respect your position, some points are reasonable, others will likely keep many great hires out of your reach. I'm a Staff Level SWE, with 13+ years of experience (startup, not corporate), been head of engineering at smaller startups

Insanely cool. But I worry about the physics of this. The moment you jump, you have zero traction. And this only works if you have considerable speed. If the driver/car is unable to fully understand the environment that comes after, li

I love when businesses do this. They keep improving their products in their lane, releasing new ones, etc, without anyone noticing a vision, and then, boom, an entire industry gets uncomfortable.

I think the winner here is whoever builds “Android for cars”. An vehicle OS that car makers can safely adopt and that exposes an api and module/app system to change or replace functionality.

Problem with auth methods is the protocol fatigue for the average user. And that even includes some tech savvy people. I have been in the process of teaching my family to use password managers. I subscribed to 1Password family, added everyo

Fund something not necessarily tech related and be part of it, not some remote benefactor. That is the point of capital. It could be a problem that needs solving, or just some community/culture/industry. Earth is immense and spher

Probably ignoring the fact that if you split the two halves, the bottom half will likely develop on their own time, their top half. And without extraction of resources and all the other machinations of the former top half, this might happen

I am a SWE, and I also resent the SSG cult. To me it is evidence that SWEs are very, very selfish and user hostile, and take pleasure in gatekeeping anything they can, but then cry when MBAs come and eat their lunch with something better th

I really just want passkeys to exist for a decade and all lockout/lock-in edge cases being resolved before I retire my password manager, and before I tell my mother to move to passkeys.

Lobbying, like for example every big tech now donating $1m to Trump’s inauguration. That’s just the start. What do you think is the motivation for that?

I would understand creating a reserve in a stable asset. Maybe the goal here is to stabilize bitcoin by attaching it to the US economy, in which case it skyrockets and billionaires can now exit, leaving all taxpayers as bag holders without

I wish there were more products like this. Just straight up build quality. I'm not yet talking about the product quality or performance, but if someone puts in this much work in building something, I can trust them to iterate and commi

So problem here is no one will define a group, and a system will not automatically say if religion = foo then bar. Things will just statistically start going this way. Might not even be negative bias. If people with college degrees start ap

This is the type of thing where it helps to hire the right people from the start. You hire a bunch of leetcode experts, but never stop to ask if, besides conjuring data structures and algos in their minds they actually can build the thing y

Wow I now understand why you can't trust these people. A PEP (politically exposed person) is a person closely related to a politician of considerable power and influence, and able to use that power to do bend the law, like launder mone

This, all the sidecars. Use kubernetes to run your app like you would without it, take advantage of the flexibility, avoid the extra complexity. Service discovery sidecars? Why not just use the out of the box dns features?

Why exactly did they have 47 clusters? One thing I noticed (maybe because I’m not at that scale) is that companies are running 1+ clusters per application. Isn’t the point of kubernetes that you can run your entire infra in a single cluster

Aren’t “rules and regulations” written by people under direction of a president, such that it is effectively the president’s work? Do they just stand on their own with no legal backing? Or do they want the president to be the one actually w

Sure, makes sense, but then we have the invisible, possibly non existent emergency door release. Do they also go through the effort of pointing this out as a factor in the statistics? Or is that not counted as a design flaw? Whether they’re

It should, mainly because an email is not just an email, it's a channel to reach otu to you, your internet address. And we know how that is going in your inbox.

I don't think it would make sense any other way. When doing rituals like refinement and sprint planning, POs want features but have no idea how they interact with what's already there, or how integrations are implemented, or how t
