The meetings are strictly private, no minutes are kept, and there is no one in the room with them. PMs have said it is about the only time they get to talk through issues and ideas with someone knowledgeable and invested, without any fear a

They say that the upfront carbon cost of building a WikiHouse is - 17T CO2, compared to a normal house of + 30T CO2. This is so fucking misleading, I've just lost all respect for the makers of this. I'm not sure what "upfro

Even when I was a student there in the 1980s, it had rather sold out to the tourist industry and wasn't frequented much by locals. However, if you asked nicely, the landlord would allow you to go down into the cellars which are cavern

IBM MQ is the granddaddy of queuing systems and predates most other queuing systems by decades (IIRC it is (ultimately) based on the iSeries/OS400 queuing system). Consequently, it carries a lot of baggage from that time which large op

"Serverless" has a pretty widely-accepted meaning now, as mentioned in other replies. You provide the application code, the platform provides the runtime environment, OS and interfaces. You should probably move on.
