The most sophisticated arch ever needed for any scale in my FAANG and F500 jobs are a ssl-supported load balancer, multiple app servers with thread pools, a sharded database, and message queues. Everything else is just a dressed up version of this

My dna has more Neanderthal than 95% of people on 23 and me. Was slightly insecure about it

Yet when we beat expectations in ads but barely miss in cloud the stock tanks as well. There’s no reasonable explanation I’ve heard for our stock behavior after our earnings beat expectations.

I guess my qualm is that this is the cost of doing business, yet people are outraged at the board because they’re not going to make truckloads of money in equity grants. That’s the morally bankrupt part in my opinion.

If you throw your hands up and say, “well kudos to them, theyre actually fulfilling their goal of being a non profit. I’m going to find a new job”. That’s fine by me. But if you get morally outraged at the board over this because you expected the payday of a lifetime, that’s on you.

I don’t understand how the fact they went from a nonprofit into a for-profit subsidiary of one of the most closed-off anticompetitive megacorps in tech is so readily glossed over. I get it, we all love money and Sam’s great at generating it, but anyone who works at OpenAI besides the board seems to be morally bankrupt.

Seems WAI from a capitalist perspective. Society has a problem, society doesn’t fix problem. Corporation come up with solution. Consumers use solution
