Nope. CEO's tend to be on the board of each others companies, making sure that there is never any argument over CEO compensation.

> The stock price is essentially the fair market value of the company That is something some people choose to believe to be true. The same way some people choose to believe that Go…

Agree. I haven't seen any examples of ChatGPT that might make me want to use it for my job. Yes if you are an inexperienced programmer (or just not very competent) then it might he…

Jonathan Blow is full of it. Seriously. The amount of time he spends self promoting and telling everybody how to do things is jaw dropping. He is a good puzzle game designer. That …

You have to be really arrogant to assume that you know within 5 minutes of looking at somebody else's code that you know how to do it "better". I am sure you know how to do it diff…

Study history. More specifically the management techniques used by the Royal Navy when it was at its peak.

Who cares what Malcolm Gladwell thinks? @dang is this really worthy of HN? There is nothing new here. Just the same old WFH discussion that we have had so many times on HN.

You can reverse type 2 diabetes. Doctors in Australia, the UK and the US have done that for decades by recommending low carb diets.

I suspect so. There is more and more anecdotal evidence that Alzheimer's and other similar diseases are cause by insulin resistance in the brain. However there is unfortunately no …

9 in 10 businesses fail within the first year. And another 9 in 10 fail the following years. The odds aren't great. Also now your customers are your boss. You don't necessarily hav…

Apparently quite a few nutritional research papers claiming that whatever "food" products you are selling is "safe".

I build my software all the time using a normal boring build system. What's the problem here?

Nothing magically makes microservices good or bad. Nothing magically makes monoliths good or bad. It all depends on how good the developers are. However it is objectively a fact th…

Microservices can most definitely be tightly coupled. The same way that most OOP code I have seen is a spiderweb of tight dependencies. I bet that code you think is loosely coupled…

Everything you claim is unproven and pure speculation. However what is proven to be true is that thousands of developers all over the world can effectively work on massive monolith…

What problems are solved better with microservices? Serious question.

Nope. 95% of SaaS products out there use monoliths not microservices. For good reasons.

Thousands of developers use libraries and not microservices to implement Linux and Windows. If they can do it so can you. So no that is not correct.

Nope. Each team is responsible for a library. The monolith is composed by combining those libraries into a single application. It gives you all the benefits without the disadvantag…

Jane Street using monoliths to manage $bn of trades a day and millions of transactions per second. So nothing you say makes microservices necessary.

Libraries can do the exact same thing. And it is a less complex solution.

Nothing you say can't be accomplished by using libraries instead. The largest software on earth (Linux/Windows/...) is created by composing thousands of libraries into a single sys…

You mean a Client Server system? That is not microservices.

There is this much simpler advanced technology that can be used instead that has been around for 50+ years: it's called libraries/modules. It works. Linux is a collection of thousa…
