   Real estate has always been commodified. But now there are more people with access to it than ever before. See home ownerships rates in the census [1]. There are real issues around the costs of developing. Building is insanely difficult and

   Ironic that you say this. I have a MacBook pro and the zoom application just wouldn't start successfully one day, reinstalling doesn't help. But the web version and other video apps work fine.

    My current workplace has what I consider good codebases. Good coding standards, good abstractions, reusability, and performance. It has plenty of tricky areas and bits of code that are poorly written or confusing, but that doesn't chan

    The issue is we don't want them having direct db access. Aside from multitenency, permissions, and configuration issues (all solved by graphql) they could easily bring down a database instance (avoided via limits we impose via our serv

    I would guess that google and other search engines have much better search functionality than curated services. You'd find a case via google, then review the details on a curated service.

    It seems like the problems they say they are solving should have been solved server side rather than in the client.

    The idea is that it should be like pizza delivery. Fast. Clearly, it was achievable by pizza shops and profitable for ages, so what went wrong? I think the answer is that huge numbers of large engineering salaries really need to have a payo
