Put all the compute and battery into a celtic torque around your neck and light weight raybans with full immersion on your face for a $1000 package and they'll capture the market.

Whoever releases a pair of non-clunky glasses with eight hour battery that can do sufficient AR for under a thousand bucks will have the iphone moment and own the world. Looks like a race between Meta and Apple. Unless Microsoft has somethi

I used a nosql database (Cosmosdb) when I should have used a relational database. The Azure cost plus the lost time in transitioning to SQL plus the cost involved in the implementation ran into embarrasingly debilitating six figures.

I was on a savings goal to get a deposit to buy a house to be able to raise my family. I worked hard for the past few years. Then the house prices went out of reach, I got hit with a massive tax bill, school and daycare fees skyrocketing, p

If your partner has adult ADHD separating finances save a ton of stress. Maybe happy couples with aligned spending and lifestyle expectations end up joining their accounts as an outcome. Rather than joining accounts make you happy

This is what we do also. Monster PR's get glancing reviews and are risky and diruptive to everyone else's feature branches when they merge latest. So the smaller the better. Quicker integrations. Less mess. Less risk.

I wonder if it’s actually the screens themselves, or the disengagement of the parent where screens fill the void? Did TV do the same thing two decades ago?

Cosmosdb still doesn’t support skip and take. And aggregate queries are incredibly inefficient. We’ve had to move a heap of data from cosdb to sql server, our reports ran from 3 hours, to now 5 minutes after moving to SQL.

It would be more interesting to find what they did with their time before and after. And also the impact of UBI to the already employed. How their vocational prospects have changed. Money given to the unemployed is not UBI, it's the do

They seem to coincide closely with the release cycles of Visual Studio proper. I wonder if both teams (or the same team) are within similar disciplines.

Selling to developers is hard slog. Try another non-technical domain.

Totally agree it's not simple. But monolith in early stages enables a must faster change cycle from early adopter feedback since there's less wiring up to consider as features change.

My angle on building products: Monolith to market. Break it up and optimise where the sticking points are as customer base and feature set matures.

If I were the unfireable billion dollar CEO I'd be able to take time out of my job to drop off my daughter to school also. I'd also be able to afford the million dollar house close to work so my 30 minute trip to school would be a

I'm currently working remote and took the job over an on-premises gig in the big smoke. It's a 200 pay cut per day. However factoring in expenses in fuel and parking and car wear, and the 10 hours of time lost commuting per week.

I remember in primary school in the 80's all the kids were actually using "nigger". I went along with it, I didn't know what a nigger was. I was in north Brisbane, Australia.

He's deliberately made the java example of file input too busy, it's poorly written. And added multiple exception handling to make it longer than it needs to be (in its context). I started in BASIC as a kid. The barrier to entry w

I use both. I even use text indexing, redis, queues and other things. Sometimes RDB is better. For other things it's easier and more scalable with document store. They need to know about each other using your application logic (join by

I tried for hours to mess around with a simple deploy from github to EB or even a plain EC2 instance. In an Azure web app it took me five mouse clicks and 10 minutes of research and learning. We happily update master and don't even was

Run a time tracker and log every task you are doing. Cracking the 40 hour mark means you are not prioritizing your time properly or you are meant to be single for a while. Time tracking is also perfect for accountability in your performance
