complexity = money for AWS. At this point, I am actually scared I will end up misconfiguring something and stare at a 6 figure bill one morning. I'd much rather use other services or spin up my own than have very delicate discussions w

The sales team got impacted since they have variable salaries based on deal closures. I am pretty sure there are SOX compliance violations hidden in many deals at large firms due this lack of clarity. SoX violations can get your firm into a

Reminds me of this Indian boss I had whose only agenda used to be calling me up and telling me that others had complaints about my work. After 2 years of listening to his stories, I had to tell him off one morning. I quit about 4 months lat

A lot of us use it in a very structured manner for code and other areas. It absolutely is value for money. I don't really get what people keep complaining about. I think the complaints mostly come from people trying to embed LLMs and e

These days I dump code into an LLM, ELI5. Then ask it to tell me logical chunks and overall structure. I then go from there.

I mentioned this on another thread. I tried my best to avoid FB, but then they acquire products like WhatsApp to then hoover up personal data again. This shouldn't be allowed. PII and personal data should be bound to the original terms
