I think of the edge as a fancy term for services where minimizing I/O is one of the main goals. Which is sometimes, but not always the case with microservices. (Disclaimer: I'm not associated with this project in any way)

Most non SOC certified companies have some non auditable processes, the ubiquitous one being deploying stuff manually / non reproducibly. Whether something is "shadow IT" will depend on who you ask. Personally I have never de

If the process is complex (write a detailed ticket, wait for feedback, get some manager's nod, etc.), buying a domain and deploying it yourself is orders of magnitude cheaper and faster, and can be the only way to test something in an

At my previous place we did half day Fridays. But there was MASSIVE overtime from Monday to Thursday. I don't want a four-day week where I'm expected to "compensate" by working for free. Companies should stop bullshittin

I have seen this happen twice at a smaller scale. Turnover is too high quantitatively and qualitatively to survive by hiring new people, so Musk's "solution" will probably be to oursource a lot of stuff to some consultancy fi

Many companies think their employees are being productive for 40 hours a week, while it's actually somewhere between 10 and 20, with the rest being a big void. If you are actually doing 40 hours a week you are productive as hell.
