insaneisnotfree··on Prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction (2016)
That's why you never hire juniors as tech leaders nor "architects"
insaneisnotfree··on AWS to bare metal two years later: Answering your questions about leaving AWS
“You lean heavily on managed services (Aurora Serverless, Kinesis, Step Functions) where the operational load is the value prop.”

Not viable even when your core belongs to AWS. Why? Ask prime video

insaneisnotfree··on Distributed Transactions at Scale in Amazon DynamoDB (2023)
And how does this work if you have multiple (single table SIC) databases on a microservices architecture?
insaneisnotfree··on Dropbox Engineering Career Framework
Totally agree. Working as an employee you won't ever get the money they get as directors and even as owners
insaneisnotfree··on Whiteboard interviews are a test of obedience, not intelligence
All good until the part of you need them working, not interviewing. That’s not true at all. If someone has to enter a team, should be screened by the team lead
insaneisnotfree··on Bosses think workers do less from home, says Microsoft
It's easy to say productivity relating any metrics convenient for me so productivity matches my expectations. Why don't they share their metrics. And even when they do, as I see Microsoft's vision is so opinionated, I would doubtedly believe on their methods for collection and accuracy. Being realistic, whenever you work from home you are more responsible of what you do, so if you finish what you do in fewer hours but the "manager" gives you extra work because of his expectations from "work from home" where higher from the beginning, thus manager's expectations will always be higher than what is possible in reality
insaneisnotfree··on Wikipedia fundraising banners paused over weekend in response to complaints
Just let them be. I think they're worth it

I used to use nextcloud but I'm currently using just a ssd over wifi as I use this as a backup
insaneisnotfree··on 65k fake students applied for financial aid in wide community college scam
I think this kind of fraud should be investigated and penalized
insaneisnotfree··on Don’t Let Architecture Astronauts Scare You (2001)
Sorry if I misunderstood but I have seen this kind of thought in non experienced programmers woking on greenfield projects and taking any decision as in "the end justifies any means"
insaneisnotfree··on Ask HN: Should it be legal to switch privacy policies after purchase?
I think it should not be allowed to change after purchase because it is open for any changes and once you don't accept you will not be able to use the product. Forcing you to accept any change
insaneisnotfree··on Ask HN: I feel trapped in my job and city
It's called capitalism
insaneisnotfree··on Object-Oriented Entity-Component-System Design
I don't get it. What's the motive to create another layered file structure project organization?
insaneisnotfree··on Ask HN: How many of you are quitting over return to office?
In my case, I would gladly WFH 100% as it gives me more free time and also it gives me responsibility on how to manage my own work without having judging eyes all the time over me, also it gives me freedom on how to arrange my workspace.

BUT, company culture must be results oriented because otherwise stress could burn you out!

insaneisnotfree··on Use Phoenix Channels
What protocol is this "channel" thing using behind? Because I went through the documentation and they don't mention anything of it. I can't understand why.
insaneisnotfree··on To restore American leadership in semiconductor manufacturing
In my country this would never happen
insaneisnotfree··on What is your company's policy regarding contributing to open source?
Same here. My company uses open source a lot but will not be asigning any resources on contributing
insaneisnotfree··on Ask HN: How many hours per day are you working?
Same problem here, it seems like solutions like mixaba, squawk, watercooler might be an option
