A little expensive is an understatement. It's black magic to figure out how much it's going to cost. Our test instance of snowflake costs 10x production BigQuery costs, which stores an order of magnitude more data and queries even

As long as it's the latter - inexperience - yes. But a lot of the time it's just the aptitude and that cannot be taught (easily). I've seen my fair share of experienced, nice people with less that good aptitude for the job. A

I am not sure I understand the first comment very well. Are you saying that instead of duckdb use modern data stack? Because DBT and DuckDB don't seem to contradict, but can work together. FWIW, I think the only important breakthrough

100%. There are definitely cases where managing your own dedicated server infra (not hardware, just the software part) makes sense. For me, the allure of the cloud is not some FAANG scalability fad when its not required, but automatic OS pa

by neeleshs 4y ago
If an IdP is SAML compliant, you only need to write code once. Of course, if you also want to authz based on IdP roles, you will need to have a mapper (from your app perms to IdP roles), but this is not because of differences in IdP

In general I agree crypto feels like ponzi. But in this specific case, they seem to be fully solvent relative to US dollars? If clown money was floating, it would definitely be iffy. But it's tethered to the dollar. It's almost an

Umm.. that's not how banks operate. If I want to withdraw a million in cash, it is reasonable for the bank to ask me to wait until it mobilizes the cash. If they don't let me transfer money to another bank/account, that'

Agreed. I'm surprised you have not seen this before, though. This is pretty much how most of the orgs I've been part of have operated. Product owns the "what", and engineering owns the "how" and "when&quot

Do you mean Project Manager , or Product Manager? What you described as training a few devs sounded like Project Manager. If so, I agree. But a product manager's role is different. And you are right - it's about competitive resear

Hmm.. I've done all that and have a child and lost dear ones. And none of that has really changed me as a person, but each one has had a profound impact on my life (except buying a house). As the parent comment says, they are just diff

YMMV, I run a startup that serves critical customer use cases, and from day 1 I had to care that my DB was HA, backed up, and could be restored. Actually had a case early on where we had to test this because I accidentally deleted customer

The value prop of AWS/GCP etc go beyond bare metal vs VMs. Running HA databases (even if you are a startup, you need this), centralized logging, secrets manager, KMS, making sure disks are encrypted, something like pub/sub as a me

+1 for this list. Choosing composition over inheritance is generally a good idea, but if the language doesn't support declarative/automatic delegation, building good compositions becomes tedious. Still, inheritance, when used for

Biggest benefit with Erlang for me is preemptive scheduling. Has a perf hit, but you don't get brownouts. Java lacks this and this results in hanging threads. A lot monitoring has to be there to detect these conditions . Project loom m

They are not mutually exclusive with something like GKE. We went up and running in a few days and been going strong for several years now.

A lot of comments here about the complexity. But a takeaway from the article is that driving a car is different from repairing it. We are a startup, had zero knowledge of k8s before. Without GKE, we would have lost days and days of work to
