I feel like first mover advantage is more than enough reward for the conceiver of product market fit. Ultimately, product market fit isn't lawfully protected intellectual property.

Oh, my view is given the size of the opportunity they are underachieving. In terms of the actually forming a business product market fit, they definitely have. However, they're seen as a cut price second supplier to GitHub Enterprise +

GitLab is a company I've always felt hasn't quite found product market fit. However, its "open source internal practices" model is the gold plated standard for a 21st Business. If you're any kind of manager of anyth

Interestingly, you're completely correct. However, the animosity runs deeper than Americans may imagine. News Corp Australia has built a ground up, from first principles, Ad Tech platform that competes directly with Google's. The

"CEO's get it right 17% of the time" was a great quote that I read. Seems about right. We draft 10-20 design documents for every one implemented.

It's partially safety. There is a minimum weight for road traction that's observed. It's not larger than an Accord, but certainly a classic Fiat 500 could never be made again. Mostly it's the automobile as a status sym

It's pretty established that GM stopped selling cars to the discerning value focused customer years ago. They're in it for the MBAs, and the truck/V8/admittedly luxury interiors buyers who GM does a passable job for. Not

I certainly see no reason to grasp hold of GM's current range. The difference is that cars are a extremely competitive market, and the "no connected" version will always be offered.

Clean Code has 4 great chapters, quite a lot of outdated Java-ese, and some in between.

Google Pay is a very important application tailor made to the unique Indian banking system. Very different to Wallet.

Refactor something unimportant with tests and a functional change, improve the documentation in the README, and push straight to the repo without a feature branch. Reading the codebase does surprisingly little for me, you essentially have t

The cynical would assume firms financials the hyper-efficient public markets would mock prefer to swindle uneducated private investors.

Just pay them more. That's it. The return on investment for a PhD student in Computer Science to society must be absolutely ridiculous.

In the US and other Anglo Saxon countries it's a free for all after Bachelors. Whatever the faculty wants happens.

Only in Germany and a group of similarly minded countries. The Anglo-Saxon tradition is one of disorganised irreverence.

Industrial research contributes significantly? It was my understanding the vast majority of research funding in the US was either from the NSF, DARPA or similar, or the University. Corporations are a single digit percentage, no?

Hmm, that's actually a very clever hack. I'll try it!

Oh definitely. I find though, that if leadership has their head screwed on that kind of thing doesn't happen. Laziness seeps in from the top down.

For smaller companies, Digital Ocean Managed Kubernetes or or Google Cloud Run or their AWS equivalent are all very good choices. But yes, "roll your own K8s" is for larger organizations.

This is correct. K8s abstracted out containerization in preparation for the anticipated long term migration of the ecosystem to Podman et al (lots and lots of people are invested in moving "containers" away from "Docker"

With the best possible intentions, the above is very much not a good overview of the current K8s ecosystem. K8s is hugely supported and invested in by Alibaba, and TONS of companies you've never heard of. All of these companies have hu

The upside of different IDEs is they can change the keymaps and various options to cater for language specific preferences. My issue is the things they just don't do, Jupyter Notebooks, more than anything else.

So many cases in the legal profession are settled out of court almost immediately, I wouldn't take many statistics like this at face value. Once you filter out the majority of legal cases that accrue, say, less than a thousand total bi

Strongly, strongly doubt the problem is due to lazy coders. Organizations like this are always, always dysfunctional at the leadership level. ICs don't design the UX or choose the technology for Microsoft teams, senior principal archit
