Thank you for the feedback. Yo right about not being able to change the profile picture, that action is currently not working, working on it.

Covers many things but I specifically got to understand how they use Redis to manage stuff like photo updates to follower / following lists.
TL:DR Its not as rosy or great as some people here suggested, and their response on contacting them came off as a little harsh to me.
Here is what truly happened, I registered, entered my personal details, confirmed my email, entered my card details, they then deducted about USD 0.010 from my card, which is okay, many cloud services do that to test the card validity or something like that.
So the next step is you have to submit a copy of your ID or passport, the reasons they give for this made perfect sense, so i sent in a photo of my ID, then in the morning, about 7 hours later, I got an email saying my account was rejected.
Easy, so I try to call their support team, to find out what i had submitted incorrectly, or what i had missed. The answer is not what you would expect given the praise their customer reps had on this thread, I was told the rejection is a management decision and i had to reapply with another email. note that even if i had wanted to reapply, now i couldn't because i wanted to know what data i had not included or submitted incorrectly.
I call in again and I am told the same thing. So i try to login and my account is deactivated, thats expected.
So that's my experience.
Sidenote: Do not start with a greeting like "good morning" when you call their support team, both of the people i called did not answer to that and waited for me to speak again, before they said anything, which i felt was quite embarrassing, like as though saying I should know better and go straight to the point when i call in.
Maybe someone else who got through has a different narrative, but if you also failed then your story is similar to mine. but If you want to have a great week, don't try them b'se they will steal your happiness for a day. Stay with AWS or GCP or Digital Ocean or whatever
I also think https://splindid.com, among your projects, is a neat idea, and you executed it well. are you still actively running it? asking because i checked through the newest feeds and saw the last post was in march this year.
Edit: changed "may" to "march"
A good example is Manchester United's Jose Mourinho, who despite being criticized for being too defensive, I think he organizes his teams to counter the strengths of the opposite team and exploit their weaknesses, which, in my opinion is the way to go.
I think facebook would do a better job for the advertiser in this case.
For me this is (was) the main problem. When building Android apps and there was need to store some data locally, I always used Realm (https://realm.io/blog/realm-for-android/) because their API was way easier to use, other than the default SQLite database. Of course this made the apk significantly big, but at least i knew how to manage the data. SQLite on the other hand, wasn't easy to work with, and worse when it came to versioning / updating the local database schema / definition without messing things.
I say (was) because late last year, I started using Room (https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/r...), and working with SQLite on Android has never been way easier. So yes, this has been a problem, but the solutions if built well, are great.
True Christianity is not "religion" because religion points you towards perfecting yourself, Christianity is not something to work for, not a set of Laws to follow, its evidence of God's Love, its a gift of God.
Yeah, I too think this could explain it better. Say a work day is 8 hours, ideally, you cannot work on the same thing for 8 hours. But an open-plan office forces you to do this, or pretend to, because you are being "watched"...and this can be exhausting.
A cellular office plan, gives you the privacy to relax, and maybe do something else, then say when you feel refreshed, you get back to working.
An open-office plan encourages collaboration, but that's based on the assumption that we all work the same way.
The term "dogfooding" is a tech slang for the use of one's own products. In some uses, it implies that developers or companies are using their own products to work out bugs, as in beta testing. One benefit of dogfooding is that it shows that a company is confident about its products.
I didnt know what the term meant so had to look it up. Yeah, I agree.
Yah, this sums it all up, Google makes this assumption that everyone they hire has the same mindset, and this is not true.
A good example is a newsletter from say, Quora or Medium; Newsletters usually have links to a story or a news feed article. If this was done using plain text, the link would be one long mashup of characters, because they usually include an authentication token or something like that. In this case, using an html link or button is clearly the better option.
HTML is like structured text for web pages.
