really excited to see all the work on teleport recently. question: are there any plans to ever add directory integration to the community edition, or will it forever be an Enterprise only feature?

git is not complicated 95% of the time. you really only need to learn a handful of commands and read a blog post or two about branching models and you are good to go. is there is some set of problems plaguing git users I've just never

thats the point. If advertising is a failing/bad business model, you are betting against them.

while I agree that "advertising isn't a business model", truly accepting that means accepting that the majority of the Internet is broken and will fail.

This is why I actually like cubicles. you are physically close to your team, if your space is organized well you are on a common isle with people you work with, but you still have at least a little bit of isolation in your personal worksp

I think its worse than cube farms, way worse. In a cube you have some modicum of isolation, even if its just a physical barrier to keep from seeing 100% of the movement/traffic around your workspace. In an open environment, literally e

Agreed. I don't know why Amazon (and Azure) make this so hard. I've done something pretty similar to what Segment did (except it supports normalizing stats from Azure and AWS), and 90% of the work is stuff you don't feel lik

the azure billing report is a disaster; they seem to be slowly fixing it though. The line items are tricky and usually not super human friendly, multiple billable resources roll up to single items with weird quantities in some instances, if

Yes, and no. Most block storage services provided by cloud hosts shard data across tons of physical media. Some of them (e.g. Google Cloud) encrypt everything at rest by default too.

I promise this will never get better until fines get handed out left and right for breaches of ANY personal information. Right now, no one really gets penalized for breaches unless it involves regulated data (financial, healthcare, etc...).
