I once worked at a team with two hour "standups", every day. I had to miss one to get a root canal. My teammates were envious.

Most of us don't understand many complicated things we interact with in a regular basis. Back to even the simple cases of what happens when I type something in this form, and hit enter. Every keystroke is a bunch of work, by a bunch of

In many parts of the US, you can only construct a hospital if the other hospitals in the area agree that yes, the area could use another hospital. Imagine how easy it would be to get them to agree to let you open your hospital if they know

There's been a lot of discussion about this. My favorite argument there is that there's a big difference between what makes a dating app profitable, and what makes it good at finding people long term relationships. Not unlike how

The one I'd love to tell the planner is that a table holds transactions in time, and that it should not expect that today's data is empty because it was empty 10 hours ago. It's an extremely common pattern, it makes any stati

It's quite possible for the engineers to work really hard in ways that even directly harm the company, either directly, or by increasing the political costs of making a better decision. My favorite here is Bridgewater and their HR&#x2F

Monsanto hasn't been a separate company for years: Bayer bought them out for 63 billion in 2018: A coup for the Monsanto CEO, as Bayer's total market cap today is 34 billion, and that includes all the pharma and chemical work too,

I think it's far more likely that this will be used in the parks division: Selling to consumers involves far more variables than creating a VR enhanced ride. Only if it's successful as a ride, with time to get the problems figured

Asking people whether the developer experience is good or bad is not going to be the most efficient of approaches: It's ultimately asking for a mood. When teams are asked what they are spending a lot of time on than they wish they shou

You'd be surprised. I've seen AWS bills well in the 9 figures. It's just that fixing expensive designs is, in itself, quite expensive, and many of those very large corps have hiring practices that don't allow them to com

The real problem here is that this was added a ling while after launch. At that point, "don't buy it" is like telling someone that they should have invested in apple in 2006 if they wanted a good retirement. The product chang

In 2022, Amazon had 38 billion dollars in ad revenue. That's ads in that search page. Between the ad revenue, and variations in what sale is more profitable for Amazon, you get a lot of incentive misalignment. The page that makes Amazo

And they tend to be, along with needing less maintenance. Tesla, however, has a ludicrous parts system compared to any traditional car company, for parts that have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the car is using an electric pow

The current H1B system of limited visas has far more demand than there is supply, but it's easier to abuse by certain kinds of firms. For an American company trying to hire someone off the street that is living in the UK, the math is s

You have chunks of the explanation in other responses, let's try to put them together: Since Obama became president, all legislation basically needs 2/3rds of the senate to pass if it's remotely controversial and every tax ch

Smaller refreshes than the original grant are a clear message from management that they don't necessarily want you around, but you aren't underperforming so much as to want to bother with the hassle of a Pip. In any place that isn

Hit the nail in the head. A growing company has plenty of opportunity for learning, promotion, making new things, and retooling old ones to match the growth of business. This means there are very few zero sum games, either at the IC or mana

Dynamo is NoSQL, with all the architectural tradeoff that brings: Say goodbye to joins! So depending on how your data looks like, dynamo can an pretty bad fit. Do not run your reporting engine in Dynamo. It gets worse than that though, as D

No growing company has a feature-complete product, as just load increases can make a product go from fine to inoperable. Sometimes it's not even more users, but more historical data: Something that used ot parse through 3 months of his

I don't think anyone should buy any story that any cyclist was clean anywhere near a professional circuit. My uncle was president of a national road cycling federation. He had been involved with cycling teams, professional and amateur,

Big Tech might actually prefer it: On one end, they lose a whole lot of money by having to license scraping a bunch of sources, but on the other hand, no open source model, and no small company, has a prayer of building a model legally. It&

If you want housing prices to come down due to raising rates instead of home building, we wouldn't just need the rates themselves to be up. If rates are high, most people don't want to sell their house either, as moves to a bigger

My "favorite" of those email changes is the self-inflicted contractor postfix change. I've worked at places where a conversion to employee forces the creation of a completely new account, and lacking a simple, single permissi

It's possible, and even a good idea, to say that the FDA massively overregulates drug trials, while at the same time also say that the current supplement market is almost just as massively underregulated, and would be far healthier wit

I would be surprised if it didn't, as other parts of the immigration system also warp post graduate education. EB-2 provides a much easier immigration route than EB-3, and EB-1 is easier still: Arguably the only road you can call easy

For me, it's incredibly different. I moved to the US from Spain back when the best internet we could get at home was 3kb/sec, and we liked it (yes kids, close to a million times slower than today). I recall the massive cultural an

What happened to Aaron Swartz was terrible. I find that what he was doing was outright good. IMO the right reading isn't to make sure anyone doing something similar faces the same way, but to make the information far more free, whether

Zoning in other countries is easy to visualize, even though it's completely alien to the Sim City ways: I recall being disappointed in the first game, and SC2000, because there was no way to make my home city. Residential zoning? My ho

Housing is an auction, and a bet on how well the area is going to do. If you live in a place that has very high demand, prices are going to go up if there's no building being done. But it's not all rising prices: My house's v
