Inclusion, control, and openness seem like a very interesting lens through which to examine office politics. It seems like inclusion & control are decided intentionally, while openness is more of a culture thing that depends on the peop

The segue from winning at board games -> winning at business is great, but then it goes into slightly too much detail about Appian. I‘ve accepted that native advertising & PR are everywhere, but still... I wish it could just be a coo

I’m interested in decoupling personal data from the application layer. Solid[0] is one such experiment. It seems doomed though... and even if it does “work”, I imagine the nightmare scenario where, in order to use FB, you have to give them

I have adopted this attitude for personal projects & small companies, and it was mostly great. There was at least 1 really large error that slipped into production because we were mocking an untyped service incorrectly (a mistyped prope

The gist: IP law lets software have the best-of-both-worlds. Source code is patentable & protected by copyright, but is also a trade-secret (because it's not publicly disclosed). This is problematic when these black-box algorithms

I think these types of reflections are generally important — “the unexamined life is not worth living” and all that. Thanks for sharing! I was surprised by this sentence: > My measure for a well tested system? One that lets you deploy at

This post is 1 month old. But ignoring that, why is it too late? Have a lot of UX students come forward complaining about the program? I haven't been following the news around it, I'm genuinely curious. This article strikes me as

They chose a 1-time payment model (which funds an interest-generating endowment), which seems a lot weirder than a subscription. This actually makes sense -- if the goal is long-term set-it-and-forget-it, it solves the problem of getting a

In your last sentence, you compare future quantum computers to “today’s” non-quantum computers, which might be a false dichotomy. [warning: uninformed tangent] A more optimistic interpretation could be that quantum & non-quantum machine

I disagree with this — more regulation will make it harder to innovate. For example, I’ve met several founders who wanted to enable tele-medicine years ago but decided against it because “the lawyers cost more than the engineers”, and walki

I think Aurora Serverless has even worse [1] cold-start times (for the DB itself), and it was intended as more of a price-optimization than a performance boost. [1] https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=288043

You raise a fair point, this was possible, although it seems safe to say it would be a compromise on security. I think it’s best not to expose the DB to outside connections in general, although it is still possible [1] when using RDS instan

This is huge for Lambda. It allows devs to create “serverless” apps [1], with relational databases, without 10+ second cold-start times. In the article, they measure it as 988ms. I have tried building an API using API Gateway <-> Lamb
