I agree, but my point being the more tightly your infra is coupled with cloud services. The harder it gets to migrate. aws lambda would be a better example.

I worked in a startup that was eventually acquired by cisco. We had the same dilemma back then. AWS and GCP were great, but also fairly expensive until you get locked in. Oracles bare metal cloud sweetened the deal soo much, that it was a

similar to crypto libraries, one should seriously rethink about building a distributed systems from scratch. Unless thats the only goal. I have worked on this topic in academia and industry for many years and I can safely say, there is a hu

I was on the ship ship ship, bandwagon for a long time. Until, I realized there is a technical debt that you eventually need to pay down the road. Its like playing tetris. There are only soo many blocks you can place at will. Eventually,

Its soo hard to comprehend that our economy is soo fragile. I understand, cashflows are tight in restaurant and tourism industry. But honestly, you shouldn't run a tech company, if you cannot burn through a quarter.

I always used to hated remote work. Nothing like in person, face to face conversations to get things done. Due to coronovirus, for the past few days have been working remotely. Its surprising that things are going smoothly. I feel, its most

We used to use ElasticSearch a lot for log aggregations. Its a beast of its own. you still need a dedicated team to handle this. Eventually moved to Splunk, wavefront like solutions. It ll costs a lot lesser and frees up engineering time t

Switching to python3 is hard, especially if you have a massive python codebase interacting with other systems. Its not as easy as importing unicode_literals. Unicode breaks in very subtle ways.

In theory, you sound good. But, in a 10 year window I have barely seen anyone beating S&P500.

Would love to see some postmortem from the tech folks @ Costco. What really got them down. Also, does anyone know if they use any cloud services or run their own DC?

Hosting email is definitely a pain. You could do all the validations with DKIM , SPF , ARC etc. Its not helpful if the reputation score of the server is low. I have been thinking about this for a while , there should be a way to decouple em

I wonder, how much of PGs point apply in 2019. This article seems very old, and I would honestly be surprised, if anyone would choose Perl over Java in 2019. its one think to hack and totally another thing to build production quality system

you hit the nail in the head. I cannot resonate with this enough. The more and more I realise, I dont have to win a conversation, the more relaxed it gets.

I am building a very simple status page app, that actually works. Think like zoom of status page. A very simple easily integrated via apis. Offering On-prem/Saas version of the software which integrates with all most of the services. I

Does the python community care about concurrency at all? I havent seen anything new in terms of concurrency in a while. I might be wrong about this, but walrus operator seems like a gateway to writing obfuscated perlesque code.

Can someone explain to me, for what kinda of new projects would they use Perl/Raku in 2019 at all?

Dropbox has a tough road ahead. With Google Drive, Microsoft Word cloud suite and Box, its definitely getting tough to survive by just doing B2C. With their recent acquisitions they'll probably pivot to DocuSign like model. But they ar

There are enough threads comparing the OP and john mentioned in the article. I'll not get into details on that. OPs experience does echo a few of my colleagues, who kinda got screwed in the end. A few things I have learnt from other p

I am soo glad, that I cancelled my interview with WeWork. I feel bad who bought into the hype recently and joined the company.

> What’s the on-call plan/schedule? What’s the pay for standby and call-out? Oncalls are the worst form of labor exploitation in tech. Its really worse in teams, where the focus is on pushing features instead of periodically fixing

Google Fi is expensive for individuals. Their initial premise was $20 base for unlimited text/phone and $10 / Gb. It was very naive of me to think that my avg phone bill would decrease a lot. But the data streaming adds up. You ar

I love this method of inquiry. Feels like you're genuinely probing into the company at the same time getting answers to your questions.

I dont think, rust is competing with python in a similar space. The biggest win for Rust would be to have someone in the community rewrite Cython in Rust and get rid of GIL. Its a win-win for everyone.

At my company, we used to pay 7 figures to splunk, until we realized how much data do we actually need. We cut down a lot of unnecessary logging and sent only the things that were needed. Most of the data that was needed by business folks w

I thought, I was the only one like that. Always, thinking of the worst case scenario and lowering down my expectations so that I never feel disappointed. I would love some help on this as well.

The only thing, I did for my mom was to install adblock plus in chrome/firefox and taught her a thing or two about 2FA. I set that up for her bank accounts. Most of her work gets done by Google products. Not that great for privacy, but
