What are you talking about? The use cases for Mailgun and gsuite have effectively no overlap.

I've lived in tornado country almost all of my life and I'm not aware of any business that shuts down due to a tornado watch. They'd be shutting down all the time. By the time the watch becomes a warning, it's too late.

I know this doesn't directly help you in STL, but Tennessee has a pretty incredible volunteer crew who update us on Twitter and also go live on YouTube when things get bad. There may be something similar in your area. We find them to b

FastAPI doesn't (directly) help with most of these either, so that's really a Flask vs. Django comparison rather than Flask vs. FastAPI.

If you're defining the East Side as only Bellevue and Sammamish, maybe... But I just did a search in Bothell and there are a number of decent-looking houses for under $1M. Yeah, it's absolutely crazy compared to what it was even a

I haven't found "this needs to be indented exactly the right amount or it won't work" to be much easier for non-programmers than "this needs to be enclosed in braces or it won't work." Most people have at

Hmm. I'm sure I don't have that many, and it told me I couldn't use that number, but maybe it was a temporary issue. I haven't tried again...

I had this problem this week too. I have a secondary Gmail account that is forwarded to my main one. I tried to login to it, they demanded a phone number (even though I do have access to the backup email), and wouldn't let me in becaus

Not in common usage within the US tech industry (by this I mean technology-first companies, not just companies who happen to have some developers). In those companies at least, if you say you want to get into "IT" people are going

The flip side of "management don't know what they want the product to be" is "management decided what the product should be 3 years ago and won't adjust to the current reality, even though the company is failing.&qu

Product management and project management are very different career tracks (or at least, they should be); it's much more common to find technical backgrounds in product managers than project managers. I'd almost go so far as to sa

My main memory from working on SGIs in the 90s was the mess with mixing 32 bit and 64 bit libraries and such. It's long enough ago that I don't remember the details, but I remember it always being a pain to compile stuff because o

Exactly. Once they get that first hit of sweet, sweet ad revenue, there will inevitably be pressure to grow it, and then grow it faster. Zoom does not strike me as the kind of company that will be able to resist the temptation to insert eve

You’re probably right but I have yet to meet anyone who loves podcasts in Spotify. The two groups I have encountered who use it are those who never listened to podcasts at all before so don’t know any other way, and people who begrudgingly

I’ve seen this play out in other (mostly creative) fields as well. But it is not without its challenges. Namely, the people who will pay the very high prices tend to come in via reputation and referrals. You can’t generally just throw up a

The companies I’ve worked at don’t even have architects. The mere presence of the role is an org smell to me.

Writing SQL and drawing diagrams for enterprise systems inside of a huge company is not what the highly-compensated senior engineers tend to be doing. If you want to make more money, move out of being an “architect” and into being a princip

I’ve been seriously into photography since well before usable digital cameras were a thing. I have used very expensive cameras, lenses, and lighting rigs with 35mm, medium format, 4x5 and pro-level digital. I am under no illusions about the

Maybe your situation or industry is an exception, but my view is that affiliate marketing is one of the most corrosive influences on today's internet. It drives a truly mind boggling amount of spam of all types, from affiliates who add

I'm not trying to be lazy (ok maybe a little bit), but can someone please provide like a 3-4 sentence summary of what happened? Everything I've seen on this either assumes you already know, or is very long and rambly, or both.

Trying to turn Solaris into Linux was a mistake back then. Most of their stuff worked better than the gnu equivalents if you put in the effort to learn it.

One of many ways that what the HR function has grown into simply adds overhead and friction with no actual value. An HR leader could argue that they are adding value by protecting the company from lawsuits or other risk by instituting this

It's just anecdata, but I've been using Mac laptops since the mid 90s, have never bought AppleCare, and have never regretted that. I've never had an out of warranty repair. On a couple I have replaced the battery myself after

I'd venture a guess that the average "normal person" is better at picking out clothing than I am, so I don't see the problem with this. Vanishingly few people who choose clothes for others, whether it's a Stitch Fix

The people here who are saying "Teams and Meet are just as good" are the people who use Zoom in a browser. The audio and video quality, and resilience to poor connections, is much better in the desktop app.

At any sufficiently large company, the connection between my work and the stock price is loose at best. If you're an executive, it might be more direct. But in the public companies I have been an employee of, I have never felt a shred
