This seemed like an inevitability given the reliance on enterprise customers and the move to maximise the revenue from Terraform with the recent license change. They have made a round of layoffs, so at least some cost saving has already bee

Last year while working in a nix using team, Golang was lagging behind on nix by a few months, I wanted to use a new feature from the latest version and it lead to some awkward conversations. Nix is not a drop in replacement for homebrew, n

I see a lot of these data providers investing in chat style interfaces too, the main plus with aws is all the extra data a Confluence chat interface won’t have for example. Not sure how you reconcile inconsistent data from say slack and con

Are there good video resources for Retool in general, I looked at some youtube videos and found mostly creating a basic database view with a form. Any more substantial examples?

For those on the M2 Pro mac mini path, the Mac Studio looks a look more appealing. 32GB RAM, Max CPU and more ports for the same money. Will have to wait for benchmarks, but seems like more computer for the money if you upgrade the mini

For those people who use a high workstation, what is the typical price? I feel like people spending more than 10k on a machine must not be bothered, they want the performance

...pristine FLAC quality into my BluSound Node, which is plugged into my Hegel amplifier... Spotify isn't for you, its for people who want a reasonable sound played on affordable headphones, which it does the best IMO.

There are lots of people, especially YouTube commentators who will rush to attack anyone who is seemed to have hated on their favourite creator. It doesn’t matter who started what, it ended with apparent threats which is not ok

> 95% of people I talked to were non-technical One takeaway I found from my experience, using a combination of linkedin and ycombinator co-founder match is just how many non-technical think you are going to be an employee. One meeting

That message exchange screenshot is unfortunately seen too often in companies.

Companies that let employees leave because they ask for more money is also killing productivity at companies. If you are a engineer on say 70k and see a senior role at another company for 90k and expect, once promoted at your current compan

Congratulations to the team, I spent a few years at depop, great to see them getting the recognition. For those interested, it is a scala shop, all terraform and AWS on the backend

You would be surprised how few devops/platform engineers cannot write code that would get them a junior position for the code that runs on the platform.

As a recovering platform engineer, nearly 2 years out of the game, i identify a lot here. My experience is that platform engineers are mostly people who never actually write code for the platform that they have built, other than toy service

> Floatplane supports live streaming I guess for youtube content, this is sometimes needed, but again feels like a lot of effort for limited return. The cloud is one thing, but engineering costs, support etc must eat into profits. I thin
