We all know youtubers will go to any length to grab subscribers but the way pewdiepie is doing the campaign has left a very bad taste. He started to drag India and even released a diss track, made it look like its T-Series/India vs res

You are missing the point here. No one is doubting the usefulness of reusable code or common components. Its about developers spending time on what they think needs to be refactored due to the engineering itch on an already functional and m

Hacker news running on a single server is a very bad precedent. Wish people running the show address it quickly since its being used as a bad example. When building a business you should take care of having an environment which is resilient

You talk about not getting enough credit but want to be a manager. It's not a good trait to have as a manager and you will suffer even worse. A new shared dependency is worse than duplication. Sometimes developers get carried away abou

For the past 5 years i am working remotely and i am single. I don't think this advise is for everyone. Good social life doesn't mean you need to be always around someone. I do catch up with my buddies over weekends. My mom is a ca

I had loads of experience when i encountered the scenario so your story is much more impressive. Agree that the schooling this kind of scenario provides is harsh but an enriching one.

This was 15 years ago. I signed up to a correspondence course to study company law after my under graduation(not CS). Was bored so wanted to pick a hobby and was fascinated by robotics/automation. Self thought 8051 by reading Kenneth J

Yes. Cloud is way too expensive if pricing is the main criteria. I have seen many big companies move out of cloud and onto bare metal after realizing how much they could save. But all of them had the expertise to handle the migration and co

Its not about them going out of business - its the other way around. Its not just the pricing bump that can have an impact. All cloud providers have some sort of quota. Say if some quota cannot be increased by one provider and your business

Depends on your team and product needs. I don't think price is the main motivation to use cloud. Ease of use, vast resources to provision without any significant delay and pay for what you use are the main factors. If your infra is not

Meant chord. Didn't realize. Thanks for pointing it out. Will make the correction.

You seem to base #3 on false numbers. AWS is the first huge player and they have a huge advantage due to it. Companies like Microsoft/Oracle/IBM have huge enterprise presence so it does skew numbers on the cloud. Competency shoul

Bang on. Right chord. I think this article is a great advise to people running startups. The review is akin to raising outside money.

Not everyone can find the right balance and that is the issue. This is the reason why we need to strike the right balance when forming a team. Having too many "rockstars" can actually sound good on paper alone. In my experience th

Would like to cover few points discussed here. I don't think its fair to judge cloud platforms competency with just the market share since there are players like Microsoft/Oracle who have lot of enterprise foothold. I have used al

I transitioned from collocation to self managed remote server farm and then onto self managed remote vms. All these providers provided de-facto support whether we opted for one or not. You can go to their portal and raise a ticket. I am not

In general GCP has quota limits so its expected of customers to catch 5xx and do exponential back off. But this info is not explicitly stated. From my personal experience - i think all big cloud providers first two level support staff is no

We are GCP customers for the last couple of years. We use other cloud platforms(AWS, IBM, Oracle, OrionVM) too. We don't use GKE but use rancher/kubernetes combo on their standard platform. So far GCP is the best, hands down in te

It is critical for a company to have a concrete on-boarding process. If your present company doesn't have a good one take this as an opportunity to design one. You will learn a lot and also help others in the process. Here are some of

Lets break it down a bit. # Ideally you don't want managers to write code since that would set them on a path where they can get preoccupied with stuff which is not the big picture. # Managers tend to see the big picture and direct the
