I think the flaw here is that what works today may not work tomorrow and in many situations, it is easy to see where those breaking points will arise. Take your team sitting in one room building a monolith. Unless the software is intended t

Conway's law doesn't make those claims, but this has been tested by researchers and industry giants (a Microsoft team published a paper on this a part of a Vista retrospective) and those papers do make such claims.

I think we're saying the same thing, but with different slants. The perception of Amazon right now (again, I don't know first hand) is that the work there is extremely intense to the point of maddening, and that can make it very a

It's purely anecdotal, but it's been a well known "fact" within my circle of developers that working for Amazon is a death march and not something you should consider unless you are desperate or intend to make it a short

There is a very serious benefit to recognizing a losing hand and folding before you're in too deep. You see a weakness in Google's execution, and I'd agree in some places, but there is some wisdom in closing up failed experim

How is this different from the phone based 2-factor that Google once had for their own products? Honest question, not being sarcastic here. Google used to have an authentication system that would display a QR code on the screen which you wo
