Reading the article I got the impression the big challenge is doing "personalzation" of the content at scale. If it were "just" static pages, served the same to everyone, then it's…

In a previous role we used their (first party) physical transfer appliances to upload ~600PB of video into S3. It was a complex logistical exercise to take it from the physical SAN…

I don't want to be too negative, I generally agree with and am aligned with the content of the article, but this struck me as a really bad take: > In my experience, “show me the da…

As far as I remember the South Penine Ring[0] in Northern England has a max elevation of ~200m/~650ft. 0: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pennine_Ring

In my experience, a lot of the motivating factors for large enterprises mandating encryption at rest aren't about specific security controls. They will often hand wave in that dire…

The "template" use case was a very common one from iframes/framesets in the early 2000s, and the markup often looked a lot like your desired example. My memory's hazy, but I rememb…

"Hard to write but easy for customers to deploy" is my guess. There are a bunch of very high-performance computing use-cases in finance (quant, HFT) that Java gets used for pretty …

> in my experience you provide the debt collections agency all supporting contracts and account documents for each loan This might be true for first party lender to first party deb…

I'm interested in this line "Many media outlets are increasingly reliant on money from betting companies" as I'd be interested to know how reliant the Guardian was on this revenue.…

I visited Chittagong a decade or so ago (as part of a non-profit working with child workers) and I can only emphasise what a visceral and horrifying thing this kind of ship breakin…

I can second fly.io, I moved a bunch of personal (but "production") projects from Heroku to it recently (Node, Rust, Rails) and the experience has been great. I can also second the…

I do a fair amount of pre-seed and angel investing and I've seen a _massive_ increase in the number of very early businesses that have a "product" that they've been able to build w…

This is a really interesting point and it resonates with my experience. When I moved to the US from Europe I was suddenly in a world where people had enormous fridges and freezers …

They put all kinds of locks on the account but they never worked, my assumption was that people who worked at the provider (who could unlock anything) were the ones stealing it!

I had a UK mobile number that had seven consecutive digits (e.g. 079* 444 4444). I got it through a friend who worked in provisioning at a new mobile operator that had just been as…

I like the blog post and broadly agree with the conclusions, but I want to double down on something in the article: > Shared pain I've worked in some orgs with very large monorepos…

This is much less of an issue for Sweden and Finland than other non-NATO members, as we're an EU state and article 42.7 of the Lisbon treaty obligates other EU members to assist in…

I led a lot of data and analytics work for pharma companies on clinic trials and the point about complexity is hard to overestimate. A pretty good analogy for bringing a major new …

Sort of similar to the above, will rule you out of certain roles with certain businesses but if you're open and honest about it you'll be able to find something. The OP having comp…

I've hired quite a few security folks in my time (some with criminal convictions) but my answer is an unhelpful one: it depends. If you have a criminal conviction it's unlikely you…

A good point, and may help in this case, but often when onboarding with a payment processor (especially at the 5-10m a month level of the OP) the majority of the time/complexity is…

I know we’ve all collectively accepted that DNSSEC is a terrible, complicated blight on the world but I still find it incredible that that an organisation with Slacks resources and…

The big challenges were things that were inherent to how usage scales in their platform. As one example, they see a 'project' as one single set of cohesive documentation and they'v…

If you're looking for a SaaS solution, I can really recommend Archbee[0]. We've moved to it from ReadMe[1] recently, due to constraints in ReadMe's product and the challenges scali…

Hah, thanks! My comment was fairly blatantly stealing from the book! It's so interesting from an incumbents internal POV (I saw it a few times during my time at McKinsey) as changi…
