That is a hilariously low salary given the impact of Linux on the world today.

One of my favorite tweets of all time - Hey Mongo I just met you And this is craaazy but here's my data so store it maybe? unfortunately, I can't find the tweet.
Almost certainly Aphyr, aka Kyle Kingsbury aka @kingsbu. https://aphyr.com/posts/284-jepsen-mongodb

I tried to distinguish "shall issue" from "may issue". A "you must let us know [so we can possibly refuse]" policy and a "you must ask permission [that will issue if there is no conflict]" policy are indistinguishable. A "you must ask permission and we reserve the right to say no no matter what" policy is terrible, and I'd not work under such a policy.
But the point is that it's not a question of probabilities, but of whether they are contractually obligated to issue approval unless specific conditions are met, so an implicit "[that will issue if there is no conflict]" is not acceptable IMO. There have to be specific rules for when they may refuse approval, so you can ask an independent judge to make a decision if you think the employer is partial in its decision.

Problem is, you could potentially encroach on a big company's interests without knowing so, i.e. they're working in [insert space] in secret, or create an ethical issue for the company. Truth is, excepting maybe Netflix, the rest of FAANG requires you to get approvals.
Microsoft doesn't. You're only required to get pre-approval in case of conflicts of interest.

> You're only required to get pre-approval in case of conflicts of interest. Given the extremely diverse set of things that Microsoft works on, much of which is likely done without you being disclosed on it, how can you be sure that your project is not a conflict of interest?
Conflict of interest = something you are directly involved with at work, or potentially worked on for the company previously. For example, if you're on the SQL Server team then contributing to SQLLite would reasonably be considered a conflict of interest, but contributions to the Linux kernel wouldn't be.
It's mongodb though... It's well documented at this point you shouldn't be using mongo on anything that matters
And yet many of us are using it in Production. Including companies like Adobe, eBay, Expedia, Sony etc.
But I don't exactly expect the highest quality and reliability from Adobe, eBay, etc.

> They are not advertising their replacement as MongoDB, either. I don't really agree there. The service is called documentDB and this is how they describe it [1]: > Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) > Fast, scalable, highly available MongoDB-compatible database And the first 2 sentences: > Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed document da…
> You have to read all of that pretty carefully to understand that it's NOT MongoDB I disagree. If I see "Blah-compatible" I know it's not blah.
> “However, developers are technically savvy enough to distinguish between the real thing and a poor imitation. MongoDB will continue to outperform any impersonations in the market.” That's a bold statement to make against AWS services.
For what it's worth when it comes to choosing a hosted ElasticSearch provider I would go to Elastic over AWS Elasticsearch Service.
Also, it's not like Amazon is not giving back to the open source community (https://aws.amazon.com/opensource/)
