Let this be a lesson to people that rationalize AWS high cost as something that won’t matter. If you have a low margin product like this, infrastructure costs can sink you. This isn’t too say they were using AWS, just that infrastructure co

Everywhere else has less monoculture than SF. So just anywhere else in the US. Don’t get me wrong, SF is cool and an easy place to live with the weather and the parks and density level. But the people are as bland and similar as you can get

I was just thinking the other day how refreshing it was that HN had not had many diet and nutrition links on the front page recently. Like this one, they tend to be filled with highly polarized and extremists views and conspiracy theories

I couldn’t agree more. The original post is a great example of why it’s dangerous to ask for advice on the internet. It often(not always) trends towards heavy handed and extreme views. But in real life, extreme views and stances are rarely

AWS wants k8s to fail because it works against the significant lock-in AWS has tricked teams into building themselves into. They do not want people already in the AWS ecosystem to move to EKS, it is instead there to not lose potential cust

Judge also just ruled they can be held for more than 24 hours in New York without charge. So there’s that as well. NYPD is a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them. They know all the tricks and are not afraid of the ethical implicatio

Start a business. Even if it fails it will help you migrate towards a not pure software engineering role which, as you are now seeing, is highly cyclical. It is 100% okay if the business fails. I cannot stress this enough. Starting and runn

Yes. Headcount is a metric just like anything else and is often included in decks as an example of growth. Most of the jobs are sales people. When trying to scale fast, most VCs expect most of the money to be spent on sales people in a b2b

You can’t sue for discrimination or wrongful termination. You are not protected by the WARN act. There are more but that’s just off the top of my head. If there wasn’t a difference, companies wouldn’t do it. Remember, they have to pay these

I know. I probably should have said “were” as they are much less common now due to the vaccine. The point was that they were safer than not getting it later in life before we had a vaccine. My mistake in wording that.
