Efficient but not necessarily better. When I'm solo developing I go back later and I made some questionable decisions a team member would have identified.

My bank sometimes requires me to "fax" documents to them using a phone number. I download their electronic documents, upload them to my esigning programing, esign them, then e-fax …

I think one thing that's missing from this article is what engineers at higher levels of IC status (up to VP) do. When a Sr. Engineer is choosing between a Manager and a "Principal…

Fire TV also has cross-service search which I find good. Roku has a more streamlined clickthrough interface but Fire TV generally shows me where something is available even if it t…

This is too broad and general of a statement to make. Depending on the size of the organization, the work you're trying to do, the pipeline and network of employees you've worked w…

Indeed. iTunes (for Windows) used to be so great, fast, clean, easy to use it immediately replaced WinAmp which we all used to use. It wasn’t just that it was the only software to …

I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere but I would also start by getting a handle on all the outstanding tasks: If there are tickets, read and understand all the tickets, organize t…

I interpreted it to mean: 1. he misspoke and meant "80%" of the AWS capacity, which I agree seems implausible. 2. Amazon does not run on AWS because Amazon is 80x more than all of …

My guess was either that OR there wasn't backpressure on a cascading failover so as services failed they increasingly failed to more and more overloaded systems OR there WAS backpr…

I think this is a good general point. Looking at management as "just hire a good people manager" is too myopic. It takes many things to just be a good "people" manager - empathy, h…

Agreed and now all the discussion on HN is about _where_ it's hosted, instead of the content itself. It's the first thing everyone noticed. My guess is they did this on purpose jus…

As far as I can tell, Flexible also only supports Node v8 unless you customize and host your own docker container in the registry. OOTB, deploying with v9+ generates an error

Sometimes when a high-profile startup is acquired for a premium, its competitors are also acquired. With the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft, who will rush to acquire GitLab?

I also think Hacker News lens might be focused on smaller companies and startups where Google Docs and G Suite have become much more prevalent.

I am sorry, no company should do that.

That's fair in this case, at my company we track "pregnancy status" and "due date". It's unclear at this point whether that's considered sensitive PII.

It really comes down to the definition of "systematically monitoring". On our service we capture behavior (say in FullStory) and Google Analytics at a "large scale". How the DPO cl…

No the _worst_ is when they offer you the job verbally on the phone and in between the phone call and the written offer they give the job to someone else.

as someone who is debating how to handle right to erasure this is very interesting. I've also been struggling with how to automate erasure within in 3rd party SaaS tools that we us…

I'd like to agree wholeheartedly about reading articles makes you feel like you're doing something wrong. I feel this way about almost all non-technical work books and articles and…

Genuine question, in your opinion why did Google killing Reader effectively kill RSS? Why did people not move to alternative products? I was never a Google Reader user myself so I …

Right, but I'm saying the processing (picking and packing process that occurs at the warehouse) before shipping is not first-ordered, first-picked. They've developed a prioritizati…

I'm not sure if they're artificially adding delays or just prioritizing Prime orders over yours, that has always been my assumption.

I see that the contact info is private. Will do
