I would say Amazon has plenty of problems, but also plenty more incentive to behave and try to be careful with the data.

I would also love that. One request from me would be for them to bring back the + operator and favour it instead of quotes, since Google Plus integration doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

Ah, I think I understand your point. Your point is that "stuff <10% of people will like" doesn't make up for a mediocre film, and studios are trying to capitalise on that rather than working on better stories. If so, I def

I don't see why you're trying to claim I'm an "extremist solar fan" here, when all I did was trying to clarify what someone else meant. I seriously hold no dog in this race but you're literally calling me a rad

Let me try again: The previous CEO of the story wasn't wrong about what's important at all. Only about how much time it takes. He considered everything important and maximum priority, but didn't believe the "previous thi

Sure, but "I doubt that's that big of a problem" is very different from "isn't important".

Sure, agreed, but the point is that the “deeply-held values” you mention aren’t really the petty “culture wars” stuff.

No, your point is that unless I completely agree with you about some specific voting demographics that happens to be a pet theory of yours, then I'm wrong about something completely unrelated. Seems like you're knee deep in this s

I've definitely had cases where the manager (and on lots of cases, the CEO) tried to "turn those conversation around" and bullshit me. The thing they wanted me to do was maximum priority, but there was also some other totally

Thinking that film is bad isn't really "hating woke culture", though. In fact I know plenty of "woke" people who also think that it sucks. Some maybe semi-secretly. The film has plenty to be criticised.

But the media in general is showing other perspectives. Be it on other channels, be it by showing people what "that despicable other side is saying". And there's always neutral media too where others can check. Sure, media is

I don't think you're wrong per se, but I don't think GP is arguing that american "culture wars" are a media fabrication, just that it's meaningless, except for some wackos. The problem is how the media (includi

The "rest" that hates it is also a very vocal minority, probably even less than the 8-10%. Most people don't give a shit about it. Assuming the rest does is heavy projection.

I went to one too, and saw a talk about synchronising data between microservices and was astounded at how much work it was and the fact they had a whole team just to build tooling to debug issues on this specific company. Basically they sto

Angular 2+ is almost six years old at this point too, and the devs who knew v1 still could use it perfectly. And people did successfully migrate back then. And for real: this is "a framework that got a breaking change between major ver

by ratww 4y ago
The list of competing frameworks hasn't really changed in a long long time. And often people have to know only one of them to have a very stable frontend career, and 99% of the time it is one of the top 3 (React/Vue/Angular).

In my experience that the frontend/backend separation was something that came out of developers who only wanted (or only knew how) to work on specific areas of the system and got business to adapt to that. Business and non-technical pe

Not all products need iteration or a custom backend, and those two things are often undesirable features for a lot of users.

If we go by the original usage of the term, then yes, it's different skillsets between Ops and DevOps. You can't announce an Ops position with a DevOps title since the two are different by definition. However, even if we go by y

The point of the article is that even if we go by your interpretation where "a DevOps engineer that really is just an operations engineer", then we can completely retire the term, since it's not really special and we can ju

by ratww 4y ago
We don't. "Operations" is not a synonym "DevOps". Devops does involve operations, but is not exclusively that. Having an Operations person work together with developers doesn't automatically make the Ops engine

I kinda understand when laypeople do it, can't really blame them. I guess developers who do it got the habit from their layperson days.
