I recently looked at used cars, and there was an additional $20k 'Toyota tax' when comparing a Toyota to a similar model of Ford, Kia, Hyundai, etc. The features and feel of the Toyota were also about 10 years behind the other car

Eric Dietrich has a softer framing for this: instead of sociopaths, losers, and clueless; you have opportunists, pragmatists, and idealists [0]. In my opinion it works just as well, without any of the negativity or cynicism of the original

I've had experiences of senior executives joining organisations and completely ruining them in 1-2 years. One exec in particular: - Made power grabs for other execs' areas, forcing those execs out to other organisations. - Continu

I absolutely agree - to a point. I think it's perfectly reasonable to move books out of their semantically 'best' organisation if that order results in an aesthetically unappealing shelf. As a specific example, I've mixe

My first question was answered in the readme: "But what about AWS' NAT Instance AMI?" The official AWS supported NAT Instance AMI hasn't been updates since 2018, is still running Amazon Linux 1 which is now EOL, a

I'd have expected the death rate to increase as the height increased. Any idea what's behind the seemingly random distribution?

This isn't what I saw happening during the pandemic. The (to use your word) 'crackpots' were proposing alternative solutions like Ivermectin and Chloroquine. The people who were shouting 'believe science' were tryin

Are these analytics coming from Reddit themselves? Call me paranoid, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that they were massaging numbers to make it seem like fewer users were hitting old reddit.

The CEO of Cloudflare has said that he enjoys taking burned out SDEs from Amazon and giving them a happy life at his company. It's how, in his words, Cloudflare can compete at an engineering level with AWS.

I can't speak for my culture generally, but my personal interpretation of the quote is that it is fairly neutral in its current form. I read it as saying that cohabiting will make it easier for the guest to see the hosts. That is to sa

Thanks for explaining. I'm a native English speaker who grew up in a (fairly?) strongly guess culture, and I'm still really surprised that anyone would find this rude or threatening. It's interesting to see the very different

I reread the letter, but I'm still not seeing the veiled threat here. Would you be able to spell out where/what it is?

We had a similar thing in Australia - the Australian Government Design System: https://designsystem.gov.au/ It is in use across a huge number of Australian government websites - the Australian Cyber Security Centre, Service

To be fair, I didn't think anyone would be able to spell 'kubernetes' correctly. But life found a way - thank goodness for numeronyms!

I'd suggest the best example of anti-values is in the Agile Manifesto. They state that they value (as an example) individuals and interactions over processes and tools. But they make it clear that while there's value in the things

I'm stunned at the board's complete lack of awareness. I would have hoped that any competent board member would want to view metrics around retention and morale, and that large shifts would be something they'd dig into.

I worked at AWS in a technical role, and we had similar systems at our office. If Covid rules were being broken - too many people in an office, people standing too close together - an alert would be sent to the office manager. In one case,

When the Australian Cyber Security Centre did their security assessment of AWS, they actually recommended that Australian government agencies not do this. Their recommendation was for agencies to use KMS. They considered that if agencies ma

I'd adjust 6 to read: Be very mindful and careful about which drugs you take. Do your research (e.g. on Erowid) and know that while some drugs can have amazing, long-term benefits, others can be an easy way to downward spiral out of so

Firstly, congratulations for escaping your background, getting through college, and making your way into tech. Secondly, while I admire the drive never to want to retire because you'd be bored, I think it's a huge power-up to be a

A few years ago I made the jump from DevOps/SRE/sysadmin work over to sales engineering. It's actually been a great fit for me so far! I always felt like I wasn't built for pure tech positions - I'm not the kind of

It really saddens me that so many people are getting let down by their jobs like this. It must take a huge amount of provocation to make reasonable people quit on the spot. Many of these people presumably depend on their salary to survive,

I'd say that CloudFront Functions was a closer functional fit (and likely created in response to Cloudflare Workers). Lambda@Edge, despite the name, doesn't actually run at edge locations, but CloudFront Functions does.
