Exactly. I would even say that hammer is a too nice of a word for what I would call a whip. Or even a rope. Lousy management gives you a rope which you can hang yourself with. That way they don't have to bother to get their hands dirty

I'm not sure one follows from the other. You could have both: eg if resource Y depends on X, then you would just declare Y after X. Or you could do a "depends_on" directive like in TF. That certainly doesn't sound like a

TAM doesn't necessarily resolve the ticket nor that's their first priority. Their first priority is to be a contact person or a face of a faceless company. I don't believe they're paid by a resolved ticket (all tickets g

Yeah, that's a TAM. And yes, it's insane. His offical purpose is to help you out. His real purpose is to help AWS out by delaying, stalling, referencing to wrong documentation, making you run in circles etc. The harder it is for y

Right on. Exactly my experience dealing with AWS ("premium") support. TAM (technical account manager) usually uses every trick in their book to do just that. First they take a while to answer, if they answer, they ask if we'v

I think it's cummulative. I had lower back pain for the last 15 or so years when I would lift something heavy or do something awkwardly (eg diving under desks). But after couple of days it would pass. Last 4 years or so I'm using

Right, those "solutions architects" like "Techical Account Managers" which act like moats against receiving any kind of good support. Those guys are just terrible IMO unfortunately.

Good explanation. It sounds like they wanted to do some organizational change (like every company does), and in this case create a new team. But they also wanted to get some positive PR for it hence the announcement. As a bonus, they also w

While I appreciate a bit of sarcasm, I'm not sure if this is what actually happened. In the CRT era, you either had good monitors which were expensive or a bunch of actually crap monitors. I had the former, but most of the people had l

The Batterygate was just a partial response at iOS significantly slowing down even one generation old iPhones, and I don't want to go into that because that's not what I want to discuss. In your second paragraph you completely dis

Oh yeah, EU regulators huffed and puffed when it was discovered that they are not doing their jobs and actually are in cahoots with the industry. Great example there. If EU, or maybe just Germany was even concerned about ecology they would

Lets not use this case as a scapegoat and pretend that slowdowns don't exist in iOS. Pretty much from the first iPhone model it's well known that newer iOS releases will slow down your phone and/or make your battery drain fas

The elephant in the room is that by the time Apple came out with iPhone, everyone else had a mobile phone because there are clear benefits of ownining a mobile phone. Those phones as you say were not great, and iPhone was absolutely revolut

I'm not sure if that was the fault of moderation system. This is more of an echo chamber effect which exists everywhere where there are humans involved. Not sure if technology can change that.

Slashdot is a good example how a vastly unpopular redesign to make the site more "modern" can bring the whole business down. It's not even the bad redesign per se; it's sticking to it, and not reversing on it. A real sha
