   Do CTOs really understand their systems, implementations and realities on the ground? I kinda feel at that level its about budgets and choosing platforms based on marketshare and industry. They aren't looking at alternative platforms m

    > OOP is a mess for control flow. I used to think this until my new project where everything is functional, everything is reactive, everything is a lambda. Each function is very simple but the whole thing is impossible to trace.

    I kinda like Google not doing everything. When google starts to do all the little services like timers, conversions, speed tests there isn't any room for anyone else. I just wish the alternatives weren't so scummy.

    Looking at the map I only just noticed how small the BC coastline is and how Alaska takes most of it. Looks like it goes back to agreement between England and Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint_Petersb
