Observation: underrepresented founders that I know don't seem as freaked out about the capital markets tightening right now.

Hypothesis as to Why: they were already being overlooked, so they have been used to just focusing on business.

Stay heads down, keep building.

I don’t know, man, maybe some dudes from the 1700s who owned people and would be mystified by the sight of a dishwasher weren’t right about everything in perpetuity

Open source isn't "free". Instead of spending money on product and support, you end up spending money hosting infra and valuable time (employee time = money) maintaining and debugging. OS frameworks make sense, OS product only when you have an internal team dedicated to it.

@nedbat @realpython My current solution is to add this to my bash profile:

export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true

This way, pip will reject all commands outside of a venv. and if a venv is activated, pip will always install it in the right place.

No more pip install blunders.

Everyone wants clean, up-to-date master data, no one wants to maintain it.

I just gave a talk on the Delos system at SOSP 2021. Building a production storage service at the bottom of the stack was an incredible learning process. I wrote down some of the things I learned along the way:

Computer Networking in Layman's Terms (thread)

L2 - Ethernet
L3 - IP
L4 - TCP
L7 - HTTP

Lots of server-side folks are fluent with L4/L7 concepts. But understanding L2/L3 is often important too!

Especially if you deal with containers, Kubernetes, or DC networking constraints 🔽
