absolutely manual tagging stuff is a plague. In large enterprises I've seen manual tagging efforts that result in massive amounts of gaps and confusion about who owns what and whatever else is being done with tags.

That is good news. Do any of the other companies have people working on MDN?

Spark has worked decently for me if you need to be cloud agnostic. Currently I’m in AWS land and Athena has been mostly working for what I need but I haven’t really pushed it that hard yet.

Yeah this lines up pretty well with my experience. Usually when I see someone endlessly refactoring something it's because they have an idea they're really into. You end up with everything having dependency injection or one servic

It is, but so is the problem space, as evidenced by AWS's own clusterfuck of services. It kinda comes with the problem space they're trying to solve: how do you efficiently run a bunch of services on a bunch of computers? Virtuali

I loved this. Every time I try to work with Googles opensourced stuff it always feels so complicated to me.

Wiki rot is a real thing. The problem I've got with this suggestion is that it doesn't handle the case of pages that are useful but don't need to updated frequently. The bigger issue that I see is that keeping internal docume

In many senses it's a good thing. The major fear is usually getting fired for it. However if you are in a position where that's not true or you can recover from it easily you should absolutely push back against that sort of nonsen

It's partially discipline but culture plays a role as well. If everyone at your company is sending slack messages at 7 and you aren't it becomes easy to be branded not a team player.

The biggest thing for me is to gently check if I’m drifting in a conversation and to make sure that I’m actually listening to what the other person is saying.

Honestly I’ve found most AWS services hard to work with because of IAM. Though I do agree with you about the docs.

I’m never sure if it’s actually core JIRA that is bad or if the problem is how customizable the thing is. It seems like every organization has added a bunch of custom fields and required bits that make it so annoying to use.

It wouldn't protect you completely but doing intellectually stimulating things is supposed to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's.

Oh I totally agree. It’s just worth acknowledging where most bad excel spreadsheets come from or at least it gives me more patience with them.

Yeah excel produces hairballs so easily. From a coder perspective I've only seen excel workbooks that are bad or terrifying. On the other hand a ton of people that don't write software for a living and have no interest in code ma

It doesn’t solve for an outsider or malicious employee getting access to a machine. What it does solve for is an employee plugging in a compromised usb device on accident since they probably won’t unplug there keyboard or mouse for it.

I think this is totally true. Unfortunately there’ll probably be a set of companies that are destroyed because they are pushed to grow at all costs even though there in a small vertical.

awesome work, I love that it's plaintext. The easy sharing can definitely make a difference.

Yeah it's probably actually a sign of a healthy community that it has less informed members that feel safe to speak up. That's how they learn even if it can be hard to deal with.

As the price goes up we tend to get larger organisations as customers. Unfortunately, they are also more likely to ask for custom legals, T&Cs, and security audits. In all cases, I say no. That may change in the future. this was a parti

I'm optimistic that computing and the internet could recreate the economic benefits of cities. At this point though collaboration tools still have a ways to go. The other part that really needs to improve is the random discovery that c

In my experience with being on a big data team is that most days you don't have to do anything all that hard but it always comes up eventually.

Thinking about space litter is a long term thing for other satellites as well. There comes a point where it starts making harder to guarantee that other satellites won't be affected.

Absolutely constantly being able to get a single linear stream is when tracing becomes super powerful.
