That billing model makes it very easy to find out what the operational cost of a particular product/service/team is costing the business and I think it's one of the advantages that GCP has, personally.

Optimizing for the rarest of scenarios - that you're going to hire the bestest engineers in all the worlds - is silly and foolish. It's not negative. It's pragmatic. If you even happen to just encounter one of those people (t

Sounds more like there's 2 sets of rules: the ones that Facebook corporate publishes publicly, and the ones that the contractors are held to, from the frontline/engagement management.

Yeah, anecdotes aren't altogether useful, but I'm also trying to picture the scenario where a lack of comparative data makes anyone think it's not a big deal.

This is reductive. If "10% more productive" translated into >= 10% more revenue as a percentage of their wage, it would make sense but it varies so wildly, that it's not a useful statement. Some will translate to increased

Which is valuable, if your company builds those tools... otherwise you just trained your employee to work at that SaaS vendor.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. That's 420,000/y. That's no ordinary tech worker, or even most extraordinary ones. You're a C-suite executive if you're making that kind of money, even in a ridiculo

ACH is a file format. You generate an ACH file and then SFTP that to the Federal Bank (or another central bank... I forget which). In simple terms, the file contains a header and a bunch of batches. The header has the account info whomever

Precisely because they're spending mental energy on how to cut $1,000/mo instead of spending that energy on how to bring in $1,000/mo. Then you get both.

This is it. I would barely consider random snips about a thing/keyword, scattered over time, to be documentation. Certainly, a problem was likely solved with this FYI system... but it wasn't a documentation problem.
