    This is a proven method of market discovery used by companies like Sony. If you watch Sony in early market entry they make a lot of different models. Then they let the market tell …

    The system has actual complexity. Actual complexity can't be abstracted away without reducing functionality. I think git has a poor/opaque command semantics outside the basic funct…

    I've run every one of my companies with some form of everyone participating at a user level regularly. Either through support or using the product. Each type of role gets something…

    Delphi had an IDE and there were others. That's early 90s.

    It might be even more jarring when a population two years from now is hit by a flu they didn't get almost any exposure to this year. There is a complexity here that is hard to wrap…

    It's possible that lockdown didn't reduce deaths. Excess deaths is a tricky stat because it contains so much underlying confounding inputs that all you know is that more people die…

    These 3x calculations for cloud almost always ignore a real TCO calculation for a real organization and real app deployment and rarely compare capability, flexibility and recovery …

    The "along" the spectrum part that most latch on to subconsciously is related to spectrums being a visual measure of energy level. That part does increase along the spectrum. That …

    Dorsey is often directionally accurate even if you disagree with his approach, execution and tactics along the way.

    Sounds like Hipsterism via social platform. Not trying to be unecessarily insulting. Just trying to identify the value. Reintroducing fleeting, ephemeral, scarcity of accessibility…

    It feels marketing driven. Like trying to make a thing. I haven't seen an actual change in consumer interaction with the web, which was a defining aspect of web1 -> web2.

    I would recommend a Microsoft Sculpt if you want the split without the hassle.

    Eh, back burner plans, or frameworks for years maybe. You undersell the pace of change at companies like Apple when driven by appropriate forces.

    Complexity I don't have to deal with doesn't exist. Only if I really don't have to deal with it. We use BigQuery to report on 100s of terabytes of data. Behind the scenes it is mas…

    Very true. You have to understand the actual capabilities and your actual requirements. We work with petabyte size datasets and BigQuery is hard to beat. Our other reporting system…

    This is true. Someone has to be the architecture person who can separate the actual complexity created by your requirements as they exist from manufactured complexity created by us…

    I agree with your disagreement. I've been in involved in web dev for 30 years. There is more moving parts, but IMO they better align with the actual complexity. This is likely only…

    I want to talk about code just enough to know you can talk about it. Then, I"m trying to find out if you're curious, knowledge seeking, and refining your craft. I expect everyone I…

    That's been the game in cameras for ages. They use the market to sift product configurations and then apply scaling to the ones that win out.
