I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Microsoft for hiring the single greatest group of humans I’ll most likely ever work with and then making it impossible for us to stay.

Can we acknowledge how ridiculous it is that startups and even individuals can bankrupt themselves...
... with an AWS bill?
I cannot fathom why Amazon does not do anything meaningful to allow setting e.g. limits on accounts. Why do we need to hear stories like this on repeat?
ALT 8.31am. I got a call. We ran up a $65,345 AWS bill without realising. I remember the day vividly. I got woken up by my phone ringing. 'Hello?' It was someone from Amazon. Our card on account had been declined. I knew there was money in the bank, so I said I'd check. I asked for clarification on the amount. '$65,345', they said. My heart sank. Stomach turned. I felt a wave of panic flush over my entire body. I didn't know what to do, so I said let me look into it, and hung up. First I called my Co-Founders, told them to sit down, and let them know the situation. Next, I called our head of engineering at the time, and tried to figure what the hell had happened.

New COVID-19 vaccine, developed by researchers from the Texas Children’s Hospital & Baylor, is now offered **patent-free** across the world. Human trials have shown Corbevax (protein based vaccine) to be safe & effective, with EUA in India.

Goodness do I have so many thoughts about this exchange, which is more worth reading than most gossipy exchanges because there are large portions of economy that operate this way and you may want to select out of working for them.

Development speed is not worth fretting about. Deliver value. When you work with deliberation & competence, you are working as fast as you can. Wishing will not change that. In any event, if it's truly valuable, you have no choice about building it, no matter how long it takes.

The recommendation I give everybody starting up in tech is: read the source.
Are you using a library that you like? Read it.
Have you got a bug you can’t solve? Read the source of the dependencies.
Somebody is pitching a framework as magical? Read it.
No matter what, read code.

The purpose of architecture is the minimization of manpower for development, deployment, and maintenance.

Friends, don't be so defeatist! If you have bad tests, don't bitch about it, refactor them. They're not written in stone you know.

Before reading this I actually was going down the route of “it is all systematic issues” on Facebook. A bunch of naive or incompetent people put in position where they inadvertently do harm. Turns out doing harm is a very educated and deliberate calculation by these “people”. Wow

Negli ultimi mesi con qualche amico abbiamo creato un tool per assicurarci di mantenere dei vincoli architetturali saldi nella nostra codebase.. quelli che quando il codice passa tra troppe mani diverse iniziano a saltare e che spesso sono fondamentali ma purtroppo solo impliciti
Is it possible to protect your domain with a #php tool?
With arkitect you can!

Do you think this rule is clear and useful inside your CI for example?

If your reaction to a software practice or codebase is to search for some reason that it's Morally Impure, you probably won't ship much software. The world is messy. Being good at the work means, in part, learning which messes will and won't actually catch fire.

I truly and deeply hope these "rankings" disappear as soon as possible. Even more those about thinking. We urgently need to recognize the liminality of the ecology of ideas. And we urgently need to focus on other ways of knowing, much deeper and truer than thinking.

When talking about microservices and distributed systems in small/medium companies, 99% of the conversations might result in “are you sure you have the problem you are trying to solve?”

A 8 mesi dalla guarigione dal #COVID19 non percepisco ancora odore di caffè, pizza calda, vino bianco etc., vedo volare mosche nere per l'emorragia che ho avuto a un occhio e soffro di afasie. Non è il #GreenpassObbligatorio a dovervi convincere a vaccinarvi. #15luglio
