I listen to two types of podcasts - short form news (under 20 minutes) and long-form educational/interesting (over an hour). Discovery is a big problem with podcasts - and when I do end up finding something, if I can't click with

Interesting. How does it differ from setting up a CloudTrail and then a Lambda function which would do it automatically on every new resource creation?

I pay for "unlimited" hosting which includes Wordpress blogs. I hosted a couple blogs and always at the start of the year, I have the goal to write more but doing it consistently is hard. Anyone have any tips on that?

Went through this with my SAHM wife and one (and then two) kids. It was difficult but rewarding. First, make sure your partner is onboard and is supportive first. Have the discussion about the sacrifices needed to make it happen (time, mone

A whole lot of nothing being said. Use the right tool for the right job. If you're familiar with AWS, use it and get running and focus on delivering product instead of fine-tuning all the settings and worrying about the perfect cloud e

Ineffective standup and planning meetings are a waste of time, a lot of the time. But how do you truly know WHAT you should on focus and deliver without having a clear understanding of the broader picture and without breaking apart work for

I used to believe there was a future in having a "heroku-like" PaaS on top of your AWS/GCP/Azure. Enough so that I tried to built a company that would be an offering in the space. The reality is that each of the major cl

Having a community of people outside of work (such as religious, hobby-based, etc.) helps a lot. I found that "founder-focused" Slack workspaces tend to just be a waste of time (everyone is just trying to sell to each other).

I have something similar as well - basically reliving my childhood computing experience when computing felt so exciting. I got all my childhood games (Age of Empires, Midtown Madness, etc.) installed as well as software from the day as well

Laser is the way to go. We have a Brother color laser (AIO) printer from 2010 at my parents house that still gets a couple pages printed every couple of months. We replaced the toners perhaps 4-5 times in it's lifetime. The thing is bu

The mistake was turning DevOps into a job position which resulted in silos being created more when the whole purpose was to remove/prevent silos and to allow developers to operate at their own pace.

+1 on this. I grew up in Denver and around 2015, things just started to become super Californicated. Most of my friends from Denver now live essentially on the outskirts of Denver (Lafayette, Brighton, etc.) because it's the only place

This thread will be filled with a ton of alternatives suggesting a "heroku-like experience" on top of some other cloud provider. My honest opinion, don't waste your time with these "shortcuts". Just use the cloud pr

Developers should be able to do the work. "we aren't living in 2016 anymore, and the cloud moves fast. Platform teams are expensive and hard to do, offer a mediocre service at best, destroy velocity, and create bad incentives.&quo

The writer concludes that we should deploy and manage our PaaS. This answer is in the same vain as "just buy your own servers". The point of using AWS is that I don't need to manage or even worry about of it. I pay the premiu

Westworld showed this in a practical example, Delores was story telling verbally and the "AI" would show a preview of what that story would look like right in front of her. I envision DALL.E to do something similar to this.
