The acquisition was 4 years ago, almost to the day: you're right, it's time to blame the real owner.

You're being downvoted, but no-one cares to say why they disagree with you. FWIW, I think you're right that "there's no reason why revolutionary times [c]ouldn't follow again". History is strewn with revolution

You and GP are lucky you work at a company that's moved past an "SLA" being something that's made up on the spot by some manager who has just decided they're not happy about something, and has heard of that acronym.

We use Figma at work, and while it’s a nice tool I think it’s easy to fall (or maybe we just fell) into a kind of uncanny valley. The designs we get are close to realistic mockups of our actual UI, but are often not 100% there, and it’s the

I like to make my pretzels with sourdough starter discard, because I think the sourness adds a lot to what’s an otherwise fairly bland bread (you could argue it’s the dips that make the pretzel, though!) I do this (makes 3 medium pretzels,

You can also bake baking soda to make it extra alkaline. It makes a big difference for pretzels. There's not a huge difference between baked baking soda and the traditional lye, IME.

There’s a fair amount of speculation in this article, some of which is presented with a bit too much certainty, IMO. But it’s mixed in with some pretty interesting details and references. It’s worth a read.

My claim isn’t that indexes are a bad idea. The comment I replied to suggested that Mongo’s marketing targets people who don’t want to learn how to use indexes; my claim is that the reality of the hosted product is that it frequently sugges
