I'm interpreting the core issue as two pizza team == organized around OKRs Whereas the better way to think about it is two pizza team == cross-functional, lean teams Seems like an issue around semantics

> What might have been a “Data Delivery Team” charged with delivering fresh data to customers unfortunately becomes “Data ingestion Team”, “Data processing Team” and “Data Release Team” (real world example). This split is eerily similar

I'm sure many folks would be really interested to see two things: 1. A blog post around a reproducible benchmark between QuestDB, TimescaleDB, and InfluxDB 2. A page, like questdb.io/quest-vs-timescale, that details the difference
154.
by shay_ker 6y ago
Absolutely love the story. TimescaleDB & InfluxDB have had a lot of posts on HN, so I'm sure others are wondering - how do we compare QuestDB to them? It sounds like performance is a big one, but I'm curious to hear your take

I'm excited about ActiveJob because, finally, people will be able to build background jobs on things that aren't Redis. No hate on Redis - I'm a huge fan of it - but sometimes you have stronger consistency reqs that Redis doe

dang - can you change the title on this? It's less about "building a developer cult" and more about "How Stripe builds for Developers".

by shay_ker 6y ago
It's reasonable to look at this from a short-term vs. long-term perspective as well. Stripe dominates the hobby & startup segments with the hope that those companies will, someday, become very successful. Now, any company at a cert

You should be able to hack React to do what I'm suggesting (playbacks), though last time I looked at the source code I got a bit confused and gave up. It's historically been such a battle to deal with E2E tests and changing code,

I'm curious what Apple Pay and App Clips means for the ongoing browser wars and the web in general. The more and more Apple or Google create products that only work with _their_ hardware and _their_ browsers, where does that leave ever

It's awesome to see this being done in the development phase. There's so much to learn, even just from the feedback cycle between aphyr and RedisLabs.

Gitlab is open source, right? Doesn't have to be done by Gitlab the company, could be a consultant.

by shay_ker 6y ago
Just food for thought: If Github backed out, wouldn't someone else fill their spot by using Gitlab? And if so, isn't that transition cost paid for by tax payers? I'm mostly wondering what's the material impact of Github

I agree that the comparison is unfair - but I think the larger point is that there are many simple bits of Ruby that can copy/paste to Crystal with an immediate performance boost. In fact, it'd be interesting to slowly re-write a

IMO it's important to set up a united front, but in private it's fine to express your personal point of view to your direct reports or to your manager. There's def ways to do it in public, but we'd need more specifics on

As with anything in Software, there's a tradeoff. "Code Quality" and processes have tradeoffs around risk, i.e. is this going to break something in prod? If it's a real small startup (< 10), and you're pre-revenu

Using a REPL has been critical for me to develop any meaningful software (more than tests and more than types). I always wanted to be able to take a portion of my REPL history and transform it into a test, instead of basically rewriting it

Absolutely amazed that MongoDB is the most wanted database at 19.4%, and is less dreaded than MySQL. What is their marketing team doing that's so effective?

I saw that TimescaleDB is mostly C, like other PG extensions. Have you all put any thought into using Rust? Just curious about why or why not.

grubhub was profitable for years

by shay_ker 6y ago
Again, totally agreed that Grubhub should've made microsites more obvious to merchants during the sales cycle. But it's not PR spin - to a merchant with 0 online presence (more than you'd think), the value is demonstrable. No

by shay_ker 6y ago
Sure, it's "factually incorrect" if you use articles that don't post Grubhub's statement. Here's an article that got updated: https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/28/19154220/grub

by shay_ker 6y ago
This is flat out incorrect. Restaurants can simply ask for the domain to be transferred over. Grubhub was “caught” selling something that merchants sign up for. The suite of products can be complicated, so it’s understandable that people ca
