In the U.S., near AWS East, and 1.1.1.1 times out.

Does Amazon use basecamp internally?

This question has come up a few times, so you can search to get other opinions. My own is rust can be conquered with enough patience and time, but because of the high entry costs i…

Interesting. I worked on a larger project that used Oracle and a similar approach. The maintainers of PG actually advocate for this abstraction as well (maybe not the multiple resp…

I hate to pile on, but we introduced react and redux at my startup and it (the project, not the company) largely failed due to the increased complexity of redux itself, and a codin…

They are in somewhat related business, but not that comparable. Blue Apron is more akin to peapod without a delivery fleet and less choice.
