I work at a smallish public tech company and while this may be true at some companies, it's not true at all of them. We have almost no SaaS vendors. If we do have to buy software, …

Ruby’s performance has not been a bottleneck for multiple companies that have IPO’d and are worth billions of dollars.

I came here to say this! Ward taught me this when I paired with him every day when we worked together. It’s his, dare I say, mantra when starting a new feature.

Have you used gitlab every day in anger? I don't think you'd feel the same if you have.

You should actually read the paper. N size of 16. Only 1 of which had used cursor more than 40 hours before. All people working in existing code bases where they were the primary a…

You’re both focusing on “doing blackmail” and the real WTF is that it’s doing it seemingly out of a sense of self preservation (to stop the engineer from taking it offline). This m…

As someone with an 18 yr old account here, this site turned into engineering LARPing much farther back than 2 years ago.

The BBC Micro keycaps were made by Comptec (mentioned in the article) in Gorton Modified. Source: I work at signature plastics and have seen the original tooling for it.

The author wrote a whole coffee table book called “Shift Happens”. But it was a one and done kickstarter.

Zero to one is considered “R&D” and that’s what this entire thing is about.

99% of page views? Absolutely. Mr Beast absolutely has a YouTube contract and absolutely drives percentage points of traffic.

When twitch was acquired by Amazon the rumor was that they were the single biggest AWS customer and they were going to go out of business because they didn’t have the cash to pay t…

I’m the founder and cto of a niche streaming platform. You don’t need to be google scale. You do need a different business model.

You’ve never heard of partnered twitch streamers or YouTube rev share?

> all documented in detail Thanks for the giggle.

The flaw in your logic is that "S3 is front-and-center the source of your business" is never true with AWS. To do anything in AWS there's at least 3 or 4 vaguely connected services…

It's not a purse, it's a european carry-all.
