I'm thinking it depends on the purpose of the software and how much customization and integration is required. A peripheral application may be a stronger BUY than something that is…

This is a great explanation of overhead and opportunity cost. I'm always trying to make that pitch for selling my product, but the biggest issue is that I think many companies are …

I think there are two kinds of Production Engineers: - DevOps only, as in Terraform or CloudFormation or CDK but not much else - DevOps/SRE/DX, where you have engineers who handle …

An interesting note in there about Meta not having a freeze on Production Engineers. I think that engineers who are worried about economic instability should consider moving closer…

The first point covered, giving away your core IP, is definitely one that resonates with me. We went open core with our headless document management system ( https://github.com/for…

My co-founder and I are heading to re:Invent, and while we've always gotten great use out of the technical sessions, we want to build our partnerships and maybe even find a few pot…

We've had some success selling our enterprise product (based off an open core), but we wonder if by having a list of 10-20 modules for customers is too complicated. I know that if …

Not related to books/blogs/tweets, but if you are looking at space tech for 5-10 years from now, it might make sense to pay attention to 3D printing and anything around resource ex…

That assumes operating costs go up with cloud providers. Some orgs see savings, but obviously not all.

I like to believe that serverless technologies and cloud services reduce complexity for the org, but obviously that's at the cost of offloading that complexity to the cloud provide…

I meant serverless in the context of not having defined server instances, allowing the applications to be run within resources allocated on demand by the cloud provider. It can be …

The idea is that an organization can have full control over their applications while gaining scaling capabilities compared to resources that run on server instances. This helps wit…

I'm working on a list of serverless enterprise applications (whether open source, open core, or just old-fashioned pay-us-now enterprise), and to be honest, I only know of two so f…

I think around half of these examples are blatant theft, and half are just the most poorly-executed versions of what I would expect most founders to do. Of course, since their goal…

One thing you could consider is short-term versus long-term gain in future decision making. You already know that the colleagues who offer help and information are finding success …

So would you say RapidAPI would be better off as a discovery service as opposed to a provider?

Interesting. Did you look into this Rapid API stuff as well? I wonder if smaller companies/projects creating APIs suffer from people not trusting longevity enough to build on top o…

I think that is true in the case of the growth startup I work at; probably 25% of the leadership started out as early individual contributors, and if things go as expected over the…
