I'm thinking it depends on the purpose of the software and how much customization and integration is required. A peripheral application may be a stronger BUY than something that is deployed at the core of the business process.

This is a great explanation of overhead and opportunity cost. I'm always trying to make that pitch for selling my product, but the biggest issue is that I think many companies are just jumping in on BUILD without even researching BUY.

I think there are two kinds of Production Engineers: - DevOps only, as in Terraform or CloudFormation or CDK but not much else - DevOps/SRE/DX, where you have engineers who handle DevOps as part of a mix of Platform Engineering, w

An interesting note in there about Meta not having a freeze on Production Engineers. I think that engineers who are worried about economic instability should consider moving closer to production/delivery/sustainment/SRE; it&#

The first point covered, giving away your core IP, is definitely one that resonates with me. We went open core with our headless document management system ( https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core ), and there is always

Not related to books/blogs/tweets, but if you are looking at space tech for 5-10 years from now, it might make sense to pay attention to 3D printing and anything around resource extraction robotics. Exploiting offworld resources (

That assumes operating costs go up with cloud providers. Some orgs see savings, but obviously not all.

by parsley27 4y ago
I like to believe that serverless technologies and cloud services reduce complexity for the org, but obviously that's at the cost of offloading that complexity to the cloud providers (and welding an org's software to that provider

by parsley27 4y ago
I meant serverless in the context of not having defined server instances, allowing the applications to be run within resources allocated on demand by the cloud provider. It can be a difficult thing to search for, to be honest.

by parsley27 4y ago
The idea is that an organization can have full control over their applications while gaining scaling capabilities compared to resources that run on server instances. This helps with security/compliance, customization, cost management,

I think around half of these examples are blatant theft, and half are just the most poorly-executed versions of what I would expect most founders to do. Of course, since their goal seems to have been to copy rather than improve on Eco'

One thing you could consider is short-term versus long-term gain in future decision making. You already know that the colleagues who offer help and information are finding success at a greater rate than you. Consider that information the ne

So would you say RapidAPI would be better off as a discovery service as opposed to a provider?

by parsley27 5y ago
Interesting. Did you look into this Rapid API stuff as well? I wonder if smaller companies/projects creating APIs suffer from people not trusting longevity enough to build on top of them, but I'm not sure if Rapid API has found a

I think that is true in the case of the growth startup I work at; probably 25% of the leadership started out as early individual contributors, and if things go as expected over the next few weeks, I will be making my first big step toward l

Sometimes something can seen as an obvious or easy choice of action after the time for decision has passed, but when an event or emotion first strikes, that choice is often obscured by passions or require more effort than you want to expend

I missed your post when it came out the first time, but I don't think you need to add a rebuttal about "The Best"; I think the message is clear and hasn't changed. Now your view on if Silicon Valley has fallen would be s

The author mentions what may be an effective way of viewing SRE, that it's only for the most critical of systems that SRE would run, but doesn't mention clearly a secondary goal of SRE (in my opinion), which is to standardize and

Do employees get screwed, or is it just that too many of us employees sign on and see the word equity and think that means we're suddenly co-founders?

Do you mean that perspectives change into the 40s and 50s? I find that I'm considering this much more now that I'm in my 40s, because I know that as a generalist developer, I will be slowing down in skills compared to the younger

I think the effect of remote-only onboarding will be seen mostly in junior hires, since they do not have much experience in getting up to speed with a company's tech and its culture. As a senior dev about to start a new remote position
