What I want to know is: Why is Josh Constine still covering Facebook at TechCrunch? Is there no accountability for journalists who totally failed us? For context, he's the guy who was supposed to be covering Facebook over the last 10 y

Don't expect everyone to feel sorry for media outlets who inflame our current divisions, destroy teenagers lives and publish gossip masquerading as journalism. And thats just this week alone!

Wrapping docker/docker-compose with makefiles or bash aliases is an anti-pattern, particularly on team projects. It's a convenience to you, but it's a loss for newbies because they'll just learn that abstraction only. It

I hope business schools teach about the failures made by Sears executives. Especially about not adapting to change and investing in technology.

I fear that earlier stage companies will read posts like this and implement it blindly without considering the big picture, which is: - Stripe is a large and resourceful company with a relatively large engineering team. They can afford to h

In one moment you're saying "Thats what Fargate is" as if Fargate == Running Serverless Containers. On the other you're saying "you can make fargate spin up a container for an event, but it would be too slow for any

Fargate is a great service, but it's not a serverless solution not by any mainstream definition of the term (although Amazon seems to be intent on stretching the definition lately). Create a simple ping/pong HTTP service in both a

I don't see the confusion. I'm saying its inconsistent and arbitrary. You're saying it is not. I'm providing an example as to how it is inconsistent (friends experience) as well as an a priori rationale for why it'

I wish someone at Google had the courage to admit how inconsistent and arbitrary the hiring/interviewing process is at Google. "Googliness" is just a qualitative lever in hiring that allows Google interviewers to enforce what
