The founder was really open about it. And back then hosting had ~$100 CPA and we had instances where we wouldn't turn a profit on a customer who purchased a shared hosting account UNLESS they renewed after 2 years given the cost to acquire.
To this day, when I see lists reviewing services providers, I'm always skeptical of them and steer away from letting them influence my decision on a service provider.
Maybe you can disconnect more if you are single. Or with a SO, but not children.
Once you have a family, there's just a lot more demands on you. The safer, more secure route ends up being the more traditional corporate job.
You aren't configuring anything or doing anything that needs access to the file system.
You are simply interacting with documents and online systems/applications that you can do the same as on a laptop. Add the greater mobility and the iPad pro really is a better device for most people.
However, as another commenter mentioned, these individuals who SHOULD really benefit from using an iPad primarily also are the group that struggle greatly with the changes to their overall workflow (see Who Moved My Cheese).
Just wanted to highlight this piece right here. Making sure others see this.
WITHOUT anesthesia
It's also HackerNews so it's a higher level audience too.
Just SCALE ALONE is enough to expand a group of engineers a significant amount. A personal project is fine to run 1 AWS or Digital Ocean instance to run the application, database. But global distribution that has to support tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even million+ users concurrently globally? It's a big orchestration of applications and services that requires much larger teams.
Add in payment services and managing those integrations. Then, given that you're a global company and have to operate in multiple countries you have all sorts of regulatory compliance requirements. Who oversees that? Who manages all of these requirements? Not a single dev or a small team.
That's just not how VCs work. Basically it's you HAVE to always show hockey stick growth.
Steady 5-10% per year isn't good enough. It has to grow exponentially. So that's why you keep hiring and keep spreading out the service into a whole bunch of other areas.
I'm on a subreddit that talks about my profession and basically all interview processes are now broken in my industry. A lot of just nonsense, waste of time stuff. You hire the professional prep companies so you know the right buzzwords to say and how to show you follow the "framework", but almost nothing from the interview actually really determines how well you'll do day to day.
Instead of going to an interview, they should just call my dev team and scrum master and ask how things run with me and use their feedback as the evaluation.
Pre-production since announcement but main development was really started in mid 2016 when CDPR finished all of the Witcher DLCs.
The space stations are now major hubs and the Atlas even more.
Part of the experience was to feel like you are out in the middle of nowhere. All alone. And it was like that up until the last few releases where they updated the player spawn locations.
Now it seems like when you jump in, you are likely going to end up meeting other players.
I think that for those who struggle with getting complacent, I would say that they should look at internal job transfers. Different team, different project, something that gives you the change of work/scenery in the company but the constant hopping between different places doesn't look good to someone interviewing you.
As a manager, you're thinking, "I'm taking a risk on this person. Will they be around here for our multi-year project vision?" Someone who job hops likely won't be around long enough for you to execute on the big picture and you'll be back to hiring/training a replacement too soon.
You post a message, it looks good, you move on.
Then later on you come back to it and it was never sent.
Who gets together and says, "I have the perfect name for a new dev shop: Develop Apps".
Teacher has been recording a daily 7-10 minute lesson video for some of their core subjects.
Then some assignment of online math, science, writing. Then one of the popular reading sites.
The video calls have all been once per week for 30-45 minutes but mostly social for the kids to interact with each other.
Not sure who really expects 5 hours of video.
Does he deserve the blowback? Probably not.
Was it an extremely naive promise to make given historical experience and the company that acquired you? Absolutely.
The people on space ships all have a form of UBI and choose a profession so that they can accomplish something of meaning. Space exploration is one of those.
But others turn to art, literature, etc.
The Amazon warehouse workers certainly don’t have the power in the organization. And they don’t have the representation at the highest management levels of the organization. So if the ones that do in the VP and Director roles leave, who will standup for them?
If people want to get a hold of me they can text or email.
I also get warranty spam calls that leave voice mails too.
Pick one. Couldn't have said it better. This is what people ALWAYS have to remember. And as a reminder, the corporation will always take care of the corporation.
If you travel overseas, you can't access Netflix, AmazonPrime Video, etc. so a VPN service allows you to still use your service while you're away from home.
And then sports streaming. You can sign up for a yearly subscription to watch sports, but not the teams closest to your physical location due to local blackouts.
Utah is in a terrible place too. No NFL, MLB, or NHL team. But the closest teams are all blacked out from streaming services.
It's interesting that years back there was a man with mental health issues who carried out attacks by putting chemicals in garbage cans in public places. After this Japan got rid of garbage cans in public. Most of them, at least.
You walk downtown Tokyo and there are no garbage cans and no garbage anywhere. Every once in a while you come across a small convenience store with a very small can inside or every 10 or so vending machines will have a small bin for bottles or cans. But for the most part Japan is EXTREMELY clean. The city can be old, but it's all still clean.
Go to Shibuya, the famous crossing with thousands of people. Show up there in the morning before rush hour and you'll see very few people, and the streets are all clean. No garbage anywhere.
