reading royce made it apparent the agile movement was, in part, a response to a strawman i have no doubt that places were practicing waterfall in the large. people running business…

Makes sense really. The fat stores will go a longer way with less muscle. I imagine that would work brilliantly during the cold winter months living in a cave, where theres less re…

We thought that at the SaaS I’m working at but AWS scheduled maintenance in our AZ and that led to significant downtime with nothing we could do about it, no compensation, nada. It…

I didn’t know this until I read it. Whenever I listened to Ghosts, I’ve hit a few tracks and thought “I’m sure this was on The Social Network”. And then some time later, I’ve done …

I really loved the soundtrack when watching this film. I was thinking this is some of the best New Age music I’ve ever heard. And, to my complete surprise, it was scored by Trent R…

Indeed, it’s hard to read about naughty Orcas and Postgres internals on a single feed, despite both being inherently interesting to me. It’s a refreshing change from the Reddit hom…
