Doing microservices from the start is fine if you know what to expect. Having worked with massive monoliths, there are cons that people don't consider longer-term and the longer yo…

> Whatever the grand strategy for success is, it gets broken down into lots of smaller tasks. When you hit a wall on one task, you could say “that’s it, I’m done for the day” and h…

People are treating this as if this is the Reddit of 2011. If you really think this protest is going to stop the momentum of a Reddit IPO payout you are sorely mistaken.

There are a few "hardcore" staff/prinicpal engineers at my company (a well known tech unicorn). They are basically OGs who were a big part of the company's early success. Really sm…

I mean, he might pay very close attention to everything at his company. That doesn't mean he's deeply involved with the engineering. For all you know he had some technical presenta…

The model is only one feature of the site, you realize right? Have you read anything else they put out besides the election forecast?

I am really disappointed to hear this news - by the sounds of it their entire office was gutted by layoffs. I have to say that as someone who follows politics, 538 is a unique sour…

Tbh it does seem he was bit naive of what he was doing at the time and of the consequences. He wasn’t just some rando out there cracking software for personal use - he should’ve ex…

If you're letting yourself get used like that not once but multiple times I don't know what to tell you lol. Do you also give money freely to scammers on the street? Why would you …

Hosts don't have any say in the Airbnb pricing model, I don't know where you're getting the impression they are in cahoots with hosts. Airbnb simply makes more money and gets more …

Yes, absolutely this. Once you hit senior ranks in engineering at a big tech firm, it's actually very difficult to move upwards. Very few people are ever made principal engineers o…

For 1-2 nights? Probably not. I don't think having access to a kitchen or sitting area is a "massive luxury" for someone staying a week or longer for a vacation, work, etc. though.…

Yeah but those aren't as commonplace. And I'd still say good Airbnbs would have much better amenities (and charm for that matter).

Eh. As an Airbnb host, honestly I've never been given any slack by Airbnb. Maybe they've made some recent changes, but in my experience they pretty much always side with the guest …

Honestly, pretty disappointed by the mass derogatory comments and trolling. We should be very happy about the transparency and RFC on a crypto bill, even if the first draft is not …

They could just note to flight attendants that there are passengers interviewing w/ the airline and have them raise any red flags pretty easily.

So in fairness I haven't followed this in the news very closely, but after initially feeling negative about this decision I've started to come around to it. US politics has become …

What does this have to do with living in a free country? This isn’t the US government arresting someone because they’re pro-life. It’s a private company firing someone who disrupte…

Of all fields, do these students _honestly_ expect that going to a 6 figure film program to will turn them into a successful filmmaker? Look around. All the people who have made it…

Oh my bad. I scanned his blog post to see if this was indicated and didn't notice any mention of it being an op-ed. Well to be honest in that case, I guess ignore what I said about…

I read through Glenn's draft after seeing the outrage on this thread and... it reads like a generic opinion piece. I think he makes some good points and some dumb ones, but that's …

To be honest, I don't feel bad for these people at all. Film studios, the MPAA, RIAA, etc. are pretty scummy, but the overwhelming majority of pirates are there to get the latest D…
