I think it‘s kind of a common knowledge now that Salesforce is very expensive, so it is not a go-to choice for most startups/no-CRM-experience people. You are more likely to start with Hubspot today than with anything else, but those l

I owned Salesforce setup with 4 engineers and 500+ licenses. I don‘t see how could I replace our SF setup with an in-house product on the same budget within reasonable timeline. We won local competition within a few years, because our sales

This is the only correct way to do it: choose infrastructure provider that can help you deliver. AWS is good, just not for everyone. It stands somewhere between services like Heroku and bare metal, abstracting a lot of maintenance, but offe

Technically, the kernel team is sufficiently competent to design and build bespoke tools for themselves. It‘s probably a question of risk assessment and priorities.

>How do I have no idea what I'm talking about? You dismissed A/B testing as unnecessary. That is sufficient for this judgement. A/B tests mostly run on the happy path scenario of a customer: An A/B test breaks, the co

Anecdotal evidence does not beat statistics and user research. Bounce rate has inverse correlation to loading speed. People with low intent do not refresh, they simply don‘t come back and look elsewhere or just move on. Telling you this as

Have you ever developed an enterprise scale frontend applications optimized for conversion targets? It feels like you have not. You may ship your own code in a bundle, yes. All integrations come on top of that. That chatbot, tracker, A&#x2F

That’s quite obvious, ontologically speaking.

Lidl doesn‘t do that. It is just a grocery discounter, one company of the many in that corporate structure, and one of the users of that cloud.

Schwarz Gruppe includes Schwarz Digits, which include StackIT. 7500 is the number of employees at Digits, which also includes online marketplaces like Kaufland e-commerce, so definitely not all of them work on the sovereign cloud.

All of this is possible on a corporate track. Ability to build frameworks and tools do qualify a person as at least a solid mid-level professional, not having corporate experience and associated skills can be a pretty big gap in their CV.

This of course cannot be generalized, but withdrawal is quite noticeable for personal well-being in a positive way.

The only reason to use markdown is that you can read it and write it in a text editor unaware of syntax and rendering semantics. When this purpose is lost and your UX or reading or writing a document starts depending on renderer and your kn

I would push back on a few things from what you mentioned. > The only way an international business is going to consider investing in French workers, for example, is with relatively low salaries to offset the inability to fire them. >

There exist other ways to do the research. „Try things out“ is often not just a signal of „we don‘t know what to do“, but also a signal of „we have no idea how to properly measure the outcomes of things we try“.

This has happened in all ongoing conflicts but in only a few cases it is known to be intentional (Israeli strikes). I don‘t think USA or Iran does target residential blocks, but just like everyone else they may act on bad intelligence or it

I don‘t think „moral high roads“ have any relevance in context of this discussion. If such conversation triggers you, try to breathe and think why first.

Nobody except Israel is setting civilian homes as targets for their rockets. Not all energy infrastructure is even remotely „dual use“ (and this label is itself propaganda used to justify strikes on non-military targets).

You can drop cloud spending by 10x factor and still use Spring Boot comfortably. In startup world exist infra costs benchmarks and they are very generous. That fat does not come from frameworks, it comes from not spending an extra hour on s

I bet this is happening because in many enterprise applications you do not need high performance. Requirements to a service doing 1000 transactions a day are very different from requirements to a service doing HFT. Service per bounded conte

Exactly. It allows to build boring stuff at a fraction of what a SV startup would burn using some fancier tech. And most problems in the world are boring stuff.

Spring may be a bad choice for microservices (context required, because it is not true in general), but it is strange to compare it (DI framework/mvc/orm abstraction etc) with Go (programming language). Java exists in many flavors

Spring framework may look complicated only at start, until you get it, but then it becomes quite easy to reason about. OTOH, Spring Boot is a huge pile of various loosely coupled framework connectors, web, queues, security, databases etc. S
