Edit: not sure about Germany
5. Remove unrequired behaviour.
6. Negotiate the required behaviour with stakeholders.
7. UX changes. E.g. make a synchronous flow a background job and notification. Bring back quick parts of the operation sooner (e.g. like a progressive jpg)
8. Architecture changes. E.g. monolithification, microservification. Lambdas vs. VM vs. Fargate etc.
And some more technical:
9. Caches?
10. Scalability, more VMs
11. Move compute local (on client, on edge comoute, nearby region)
11a. Same as 11 for data residency.
12. Data store optimisation e.g. indices, query plans, foreign keys, consistent hashing (arguably a repeat of data structures)
13. Use a data centre for more bang/buck than cloud.
14. Compute type: use GPU instead of CPU etc. I'll bundle here L1 cache etc.
15. Look at sources of latency. proxies, sidecars, network hops (and their location) etc.
16. GC pauses, event loops, threading, other processed etc.
If someone keeps making mistakes, talk to their manager maybe. .
That is why Reddit is one of my favourite social sites. It is algorithmic but if you go to r/assholedesign you get asshole design. (and an anal mod who keeps it like that) Etc.
Value $44bn ;)
He might go direct to senior (as a word in a title at given company) based on impact if he can regurgitate the right algos and design question answers.
Lol. Good for you!
For normal it is higher but maybe not much more so.
AI or conventional bots for PRs are neat though. Where I work we have loads of them checking all sorts of criteria. Most are rules based. E.g. someone from this list must review if this folder changes. Kinda annoying when getting the PR in but overall great for quality control. We are using an LLM AI for commenting on potential issues too. (Sorry I don't have any influence to help them to consider yours)
I wonder if it always increases though? Eventually there will be enough entropy that any change may cause it to reduce or oscillate? (At universe / reachable universe scale).
It is a 3hr drive Sydney to Canberra and 4hr on train. Mainly because the train track was originally for freight so has more curves than needed for passenger.
They said rather than aim for a super fast train just improve the tracks we have and get the time down to 3hr to compete with the car.
This is a good point because then you get more revenues and usage (the trains are full right now but infrequent - maybe they can run them every 15 minutes)
Then you can go make the case for an even faster train for 2050.
The Japanese Shinkansen is something else. Doing my first decent trip on one this week and can't wait!
If they were keen to make amends they should just bump your pay that much. Unless they are struggling.
By the way I have a similar RSU amount and schedule. So gar so good but cognizant that in the contract they can stop it at any time. I took the risk as I can also quit at any time!
