The web revolution is to Windows UI what vibe coding is to programming today. It brought in a massive group of people who didn't need to understand message pumps, or handles or non-blocking api calls. On top of that, it delivered incre

Don’t you think if we understand why energy, the fundamental unit of economics is lower in China we can gain much insight into the rest of the economy? Economists have often praised an energy tax for its non distortionary effect.

why does this arbitrage exist? Why is the cost of energy, the fundamental input into every economy, cheaper in Asia? Tractors consume fuel, fertilisers do too. Human labour is the least efficient at converting fuel into energy. When you dig

SOAP started life as XmlRpc. It was a simple model used in Python. It was a simple serialisation format. It was a micro format and could be implemented in a day. It didn’t cover encryption, signing , routing, cyclic references. But it could

I’ve often wondered about PPP and why China is cheaper. Deepseek provided interesting answers, and it’s nothing to do with pollution or cheap labour. Turns out socialist policies, investing in free markets, cheap education, open competition

Queues have several problems - if the caller is http it may timeout and retry, leading to more jobs being queued - the caller may no longer care because it took so long and the work is wasted - if the caller is called from a queue it can ca

In any large orgs the more people involved the more deadlocks you have and it can become a policy quagmire. Both meta and twitter achieved more velocity once cuts are in place.

Most enterprises on prem already run VMware for virtualisation, it is the antiquated way of provisioning that affects how slow it is to spin something up on prem. And frequently these antiquated practices are carried to the cloud, negating
