Absolutely hilarious that he has a "What's bad about" section as a main navigation, very self-aware.

The 11/18 outage was 2.5 weeks ago. Any learning & changes they made as a result for that probably didn't make its way yet to production. Particularly if we're asking them to be careful & deliberate about deployments,

One thing to keep in mind when judging what's 'appropriate' is that Cloudflare was effectively responding to an ongoing security incident outside of their control (the React Server RCE vulnerability). Part of Cloudlfare'

These engineering insights were not worth the 16 seconds load time this website took. It's extremely easy, and correspondingly valueless, to ask all kinds of "hard questions" about a system 24h after it had a huge incident.

It's not even clear that the premise is true. There's lots of 'research' done in the big tech companies. The biggest reason why companies don't seek to emulate "Dupont, Bell Labs, IBM, AT&T, Xerox, Kodak, G

From "framework fatigue" to "new framework" in five paragraphs. Personally, I find all these minimalist, back-to-the-basics frameworks a bit misguided. It's always reeks a bit of "well my farts don't sme

I would think of it that way: - no company generates revenue in its first second . Even if you start a lemonade stand tomorrow, you'll have to buy some lemons first. The time-to-revenue might be very short, but it's never zero. T

I think what changed is that we at least can attempt to limit 'bad' things with technical measures. It was legitimately technically impossible 10 years ago to prevent Photoshop from designing propaganda posters. Of course today&

It's valid to think of this as Microsoft sort of squandering a unique opportunity to become the ubiquitous video conferencing standard by not investing in Skype, back when it had a market-leading position. Another way to look at this i

But can I run it on Gaia-X? This really reads like a parody. Press release, “a consortium of 20 research institutions”, “awarded the STEP (Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform) seal”. Lots of grandiose self-congratulations. All with

You should read the article in full, and/or learn the difference between a share and asset deal. Your link is about the former, the article about the latter.

If productivity is kept at the same level, and people work a day less, you wouldn't produce the same amount.

This hack seems to affect the Dropbox Sign application, which is based on HelloSign which they acquired a few years ago. It’s still running on the hellosign.com domain and seems mostly separate, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they also store

I find it a strange choice to explain double-entry bookkeeping with the example of "one entry for Alice, one entry for Bob". That's really not what it's about. It's obvious that a transaction with two parties could

On mobile, the "Let's talk" button in the top right corner is cut off by the carousel menu overlay. Seems like CSS is still out of scope of the bug fixing magic for now. On a more serious note, it's an interesting blog p

"I value Figma the product, I couldn't care less about how much money they raised" is an argument like "My power comes out the socket, so I couldn't care less about building power plants". It's hard to hav

Clearly Figma is providing a valuable product to the market. In part visible here by how people celebrate this decision. But people are celebrating Figma's continued independence without understanding that without the possibility of

The reality is that for extremely high-growth companies such as Figma, only companies with an extremely strong existing business and strategic fit can afford to acquire them. Corel, for example, was valued at $1bn in their 2019 acquisitio

Except outlawing acquisitions by larger tech companies will absolutely reduce funding and incentives to start companies, and result in less products, less companies, and less competition.
