Or, you get past the POC and “land” the whale. You take a deep discount on price to lock in the revenue. Now you have revenue, but insufficient to hire and grow. Rinse and repeat. All the debt (technical and financial) and a dim future.

Do you have alternating A/B days or a straight five day schedule? I’ve struggled to find a good way to handle the A/B day mess and ended up just scripting it each year.

In sampling a couple I would call these narrations "serviceable" rather than "high quality". My benchmark is the voice of my mom reading Shakespeare and Grahame, with intonation and voice to each character. Perhaps AI

Interesting concept. I handled the bandwidth balancing by using multiple IPs in DNS, and latency-based routing.

It does, but seems to suffer some of the ills in the article[1]. I haven’t tried it, though and should to confirm. [1] http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.UDP.h...

Malloc for the web. It’s famously what S3 was supposed to be, but isn’t. Remote memory as an API would enable some cool new serverless architectures. I have neither the time nor know-how to build it, but would love doing so.

I doubt it, but it depends on what you mean by “significant”. Large percentages? No. Large absolute numbers? Perhaps. Significant contributors? Almost certainly.

With the number of applications and acceptances isn’t it inevitable that a few get by? This is the first I recall, but surely there have been others? I don’t envy the folks doing the filtering with so much at stake and such an emphasis on t

My daughters are competitive sailors. On the back of one of their regatta shirts is a semaphore message that, when decoded, reads “always sail with the confidence of a mediocre white man”. Ouch? :)

I think CEOs should be looking further down the road and at systemic problems, as well as reacting tactically. Of course the experience of the attendees matters. I have unreasonably high expectations of executive leadership at large compani

I tend to agree that businesses should be withholding their money because of the persistent homelessness, but Marc Benioff’s “why” is a little bit off. It isn’t (shouldn’t be) the impact on conference attendees that matters, it’s the neglig

The TL role is a little restrictive IMHO. I’ve worked with very junior people who have a very effective ability to pair and improve others’ effectiveness. Perhaps as they learn they also teach.

Wonderful. In rowing there is a practice called “seat racing” where different combinations of people are rotated in and out of the eight positions to determine the combination that is the fastest. Individual strength is an indicator but it’

It’s entertaining, but also dumbfounding that Mr. Jassy would choose to say that he’s conferred with other CEOs, and they feel the same way. Well, I guess that’s not surprising — validating his opinions with like-minded folks. Rather than p

I use AWS Simple Email Service for sending and receiving, but my use of email is largely automated (not reading it with my own eyes) so a bit of a niche. I wrote about the harder bit (receiving)[1]. [1] https://github.com/m

I don’t think Scrum was the basis of the problem.

Given the very different history and evolution of these two sites, is there ever a point of (even approximate) intersection where they are actually competitive? I myself don’t see that happening now, perhaps ever.

I’m only as good as I am at building software because I started my professional career working with seven brilliant, mid career people who set a high bar and encouraged me at every step. It’s not coincidence, but perhaps lucky - if I had st

It’s “generally accepted” that intelligence is a thing, but that’s also commonly understood to be vastly insufficient. People can be observant, quick learners, have expansive knowledge, have excellent recall, be systematic, be creative (syn

Adding the application/component code to do ”good logging” is tedious. Friction in the interface decreases the probability it will be done well, and consistently. I think the interface matters, and while it’s a second order problem it

I can see the case for flat logging, aka. key value logging, as an optimization for very, very performance critical code that needs to emit string logs. That however, isn’t mainstream in my experience. The far, far more common case is logg

Are there languages that solve the “performance“ problem with maps? In fact, isn’t Go one of them?

Yeah, this is where it gets real. VC funding and unbounded potential operational costs. Ouch.

As a former FRC judge, and FTC and FLL coach I congratulate you. It is no small feat to just get to competitions as a “rookie” team, and wonderful to excel once there. Thank you for writing about it! P.S. Don’t forget the scholarships avail

That seems like a problem that should be solved. Logging structured data is a very basic expectation.
