   Not surprised. I've had a few interactions with Subaru connected services dev team as an external contractor from another car company, everyone was everyone else's cousin, friend, homeboy from India. Nepotism was rampant, no one w

   Hi everyone, We've gone through a lot of pain to get this blueprint working since our AWS costs were getting out of hand but we didn't want to part ways with CDK. We've now got the same stack structure going with Pulumi and D

   Fascinating read. I suspected life could be thought as a self replicating and self improving algorithm like physical process. Very encouraging to see the information theory and biology are being used in this context.

    You’re being downvoted, but as a father I wholeheartedly agree with you. My daughter is the most precious being in my life, but I can’t shake the feeling that I brought her to this world on purely selfish reasons and now she’ll be faced to

    I get enraged when articles like this get upvotes. The evidence given doesn't at all negate the reasoning behind using async, which as you said, is about not having to be blocked by IO, not freaking throughput test for an unrealistic s

    AWS secrets manager or SSM or KMS for any kind of secrets, keys etc. Works well because our entire stack is on AWS. Otherwise hashicorps Vault would do I guess but that’s yet another service on life support.

    Thanks for the write up. We are moving away from Kafka to Kinesis, and will consider these points mentioned.

    Not questioning your judgement but interested to know about the factors moving you away from Kinesis.

    I’m old enough to remember the last “first fully homemade Turkish car”. It was named Imza (Turkish for signature). I don’t remember the specifics but it was total flop with some financial fraud in the mix. Hoping for a better result this ti

    Hella mental gymnastics there. Instead of reducing greenhouse gases, apparently, we should be learning to turn every coastal city to Venice.

    Agree with all that, but when it comes to synbio, the article is 100% right to raise alarms.
