Yeah, but Microsoft's been trying to convince them to move to Azure's stuff for years, so who knows :)

Sure, but that's not what I said or you said, and my commentary was about relative measures of your salary to your budget. If you can't make a mistake of your salary size in your budget then your budget is small or very tight, mos

SQL Server ran and runs a lot of big company (it ran MySpace!) however, everything else in your list is hot trash and should be yeeted into the sun.

Hope you get paid a lot! Otherwise you are either in a very young or very stupid job. I regularly spend multiples of my salary every month on various commitments my company makes, any small mistake could easily mean that its multiples of my

That's like saying a system that generally yields bad results isn't to blame, its people. For a vast majority of managers in "software companies" things like story points are about asserting control over what is created,

That is the problem, people want to run a modern corporation with its tentacles always reaching and growing instead of focusing on a core business proposition that they can win at. If you dont grow at double digit percentages year of year,

Well then they need to close up shop or think of something else, because adding more ad tracking isn't a feature to anyone but predatory advertisers, and they will only keep paying you if users keep showing up.

I dont believe that, and have no reason to believe that at this point. Any browser that makes me monitor their changes for privacy destruction is basically just chrome with more steps.

We're far past a constitutional crisis, and the courts taking power nobody wanted to give to them (who wasn't interested in a unitary executive at least) isn't a good solution.

Incredibly loud laughing from the lawyers whose study of law is being thrown around willy nilly because of all the unprecedented joke decisions they are making right now.

A classic thing I was looking for back when I was doing technical training, well done.

That's like saying if you don't like ransomware just develop your own.

This is a pretty nice list. I can confidently say that no CTO I have ever worked with has used something like this to lead. There's two CTOs I have worked with. The first one is a somewhat technical manager whose skills have atrophied

Snowflake was "breached" by AT&T users using the same password in Snowflake and another system that was breached. This is just trivial pivoting done with some guesswork done fairly well.

Make up a number that sounds good. Check if anyone has done this before in your setting. Multiply this estimate by three. Keep people updated on your progress if you are late.

It's funny that you say that because no management and barely any devs actually understand k8s, they understand its a resume bullet point and it sounds like the thing so they go for it.

Dropping calls is the worst case scenario for customer service - what they will probably do is just institute callbacks by default.

There's no guarantee that the money you pay will continue to be invested in customer service. I have worked at a dozen startups, good customer service is an early market requirement, you hire good support staff, give them direct connec

That's going to be spicy - things like product launches often have 100-1000x the call volume than a typical day, so training up 100x workers temporarily is going to suck - I used to train apple's tech support.

That very much depends on your city, in some places cops take up more than 20% of city budgets, in some places more than 40% of the city budget is taken up by policing.

There's a very simple legal phrase which is "knew or should have known" - the CEO knew or should have known. It's that simple. If you are the CEO and you did not, you should have, and you are responsible. It doesn't

I am glad it works! I have just been subject to several systems that have grown over time that worked very well until it became a problem (and then a huge one) so I am glad you are taking a disciplined approach.

It's great when you have no reason EVER to decompose the data. That being said, when you start going "wait why is one record like this? oh no we have a bug and have to fix one of the records that looks like this across all data&qu

Also a fundamental property of small teams (which can be good) is you can only commit to so much. You absolutely know you wont ever build a lasting bridge with a six person team, but you could ford a river. This type of stuff is ok when you

Klaviyo did 7 interviews with me and then rescinded a verbal offer because they said they "forgot" they dont hire people in my state. I wouldn't recommend that screwed up company to anyone :) edit: oh and they tried multiple

Extremely clumsy, yes. And not idiomatic - a vanishingly small people learning PS will be able to usefully discover, use, or troubleshoot this utilization. At the very least they could have helped with the discovery/usage problem, but
