I attempted to handle some of what you're suggesting via the plugin ecosystem utilizing a vector database for RAG, and LLMs to auto-suggest tags or related docs. None of the plugin…

Cursor is better suited for enterprise. You get centralized stats and configuration management. Managers are pushed for AI uptake, productivity and quality metrics. Cursor provides…

Doesn’t hurt. Be prepared for resistance though. The steroid taboo means there are very few doctors in the US that are both experienced and comfortable prescribing. I saw massive r…

Agree. Also testosterone. I was lucky enough to have lab work before and after getting covid twice. My T numbers halved in less than a year. I was still within the “normal range” s…

Agreed. Go on paternity leave, it'll provide some distance and maybe some time to interview.

F1 isn’t even about max performance, it’s about trying to maintain an element of driver skill as a factor of outcomes. It’s why they outlawed the Williams continuously variable tra…

This is sort of highlighted by other comments, but GC is only good at small quick requests. If you're dealing with large or slow requests it results in large or long lived allocati…

I call B.S.. He's conflating two things. One is a deployment infrastructure, another is an application pattern. I can deploy a monolith in k8s and I can deploy micro-services on a …

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that find/replace doesn't work for notebooks in VSCode. It's by far my biggest annoyance. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/7903…

I was an engineer at PGP from 2004-2011 and ended up running the server team as lead engineer. I wouldn't disagree with most of the points brought up by the author, both the code b…

We’re doing something probably not to far from what you were doing. Want to talk? Mstump@vorstella.com

How does the tracing API differ from the open tracing APIs? Pros/cons as compared to that standardization effort?

I wouldn't say it's super common. Of the 20-30 founders that I know well I'm the only one I'm aware of that has a nuvigil prescription. I take it because I'm a single parent of you…

Configuration comes from the environment. We store the configuration per cluster in a centralized store (C*, etcd, SimpleDB). We bake images that contain everything else. Depending…

Individually I charge several orders of magnitude greater than what you're quoting. I'll advise and design, do deep troubleshooting etc.. Consultants that work for me (I'm the CEO)…

Very large companies, mostly banks, retailers and telecom. Some industrial IoT and a couple governments.

I do a mix of pure consulting but also managed services. I typically have a 12 hour SLA for issues, and 1 hour SLA for some customers. 24/7 support for mission critical, revenue ge…

It's a mix. I'm a consultant that specializes in large scale distributed systems. I have some customers that have >100k production database nodes. I manage probably >50PB of data. …

Some systems cope with failure better than others. Everything you've said is also true of DB running on top of a uniform linux stack. From my experience (500+ large scale productio…

Part of the problem is that you're using databases that can't cope with failure. In large scale production systems things fail all the time. If you've got tech that can cope with f…

I've been running a couple of petabytes in production with Docker and Cassandra for a couple years (around 2k nodes). I've rarely seen FS corruption, however I must qualify that th…
