I use web hooks now and they work really well for asynchronous situations. Spinning up a base app in node to do this is super simple and much easier to maintain than doing it in a kafka message bus. Nice to see so many developers owning up

SBF was a bright kid that was further enabled by his parents and the environment he grew up in. Imagine taking peoples life savings and being on speed while arbitraging exchanges? Thats some real hubris to not reflect that you might make a

This only makes sense when upholsterers dont cost more than buying an entirely new sofa. My family used to reupholster furniture every 5 years and it was cheap because my mother had an interior design firm and got very good rates. I tried t

You're completely right to feel this way. Reading about your struggles made me reflect on my twenties in tech and what a day to day looked like. Most mornings would start on a tube commuting into central london, getting to see how peop

Personally, I'm starting to applaud Zuckerberg for the risk he's taking with this project. Despite all the hate Meta is getting, we can't forget this is exactly what we all want in the tech world. Established companies making

This is the correct answer, Elon will not be as generous when cutting numbers. I'll never forget letting go of staff in France and Italy. The employees were overjoyed we were letting them go and got into fights over who would be takin

Trifacta is pretty cool way to do data engineering. Very efficient approach to assessing what is going on in a massive amount of data and then get suggestions on ways to transform it. Once you're done export to python code or just run
