I have read the article, and I’m still not sure what your point was. Are you claiming that I’m part of “the mob”? My comment had nothing to do with ABG, or them wanting whatever is in their contract. It was commenting on that fact that I, n

If a company is based on its network effects, and is “worth” $11B, in an industry that you participate in, and you nor anyone you have ever met has seen it in the wild, it at least implies that something fishy is going on.

Why is this interesting? Tesla is... not a FAANG company? Not only is there no 'T' in FAANG, but the industry/product is completely different. Or maybe the author just wanted to make a joke about coffee. Who knows.

Which kinda-shoulda make sense, since they have different content catalogues in different countries too.

One of the biggest thing that keeping audit records in your DB gives you is transactionality around your audit logs. Sending audit events to an external system (quite often) loses this, and the resources to address this before you have to a

I'm not OP, but they were upgrading from Postgres 9.6, which at least implies that this initial db was from ~2017. This is barely past the initial release of Cockroach. It would have been kind of crazy for the Retool team to use an e

I've seen this shared all over today, but no where have I seen any terms/valuation shared. Does anyone have more information?

Naw, I got a 30% cut by simply saying “that’s higher than I was hoping was, I was expecting closer to $XXX” to which they said “we can do that if you can schedule it next week”.

Because regardless of that, the naming of the organization and repositories strongly implies that it is managed be a combination of AWS and Hashicorp. At a first glance, "transitions to non-free license" implies that you now have

Okay, so while this title is technically true , it is phrased in a way to incite panic. Just to be clear, AWS/Hashicorp is NOT beginning to charge people for the use of Terraform modules.

If you sent me a "four hour assignment" in order to determine if I'm "up to date" on practices you care about, that is a *strong* signal that you think your time is more valuable than mine. You can be damn sure I wo

A side effect of this is that the baseline for sign-on bonuses (if you're not "referred") is now effectively 30k. Anyone who applies directly should know that this money is already budgeted.

You'd really have to have a lot to lose (in comparison to just taking a new job) under the current company in order to take that chance (think a large value of options, etc). You'd have better luck if you already had some sort o

It's not even just that, but by avoiding the well-known standards of how HTTP behaves, you're going to find yourself fighting with any tool/system that is based on those standards.

You often want to cache results of complex queries. If these are POST, you find yourself trying to conditionally cache POST requests, which opens up a whole new class of caching bugs.
