Generally the person doesn’t sound that silly or pathologically helpless in the meeting. Sometimes they are a committee of extremely intelligent people, because only a large and well-resourced organization acting in concert can reach the heights of no-agency-exists-anywhere.

Sam Altman warned us:

“Everyone thinks you can hire someone to do this."

"That fails 100% of the time."

A board of directors won't cut it.

The secret to building a generational company, according to him?

The founder doing this every day:

[Lawrence Jones @lawrjones]

In 2020 Figma started hitting growing pains with their single managed Postgres database.

That means they managed to grow to a $2B company on a single mged instance.

I bet at they hired engineers around this time who grumbled about not picking a more ‘scalable’ tech.

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

I started off in web development through the Flask Mega-Tutorial by @miguelgrinberg (bought the book!) and @nickjanetakis tutorials/blogs. Both were full stack from the Database to the Browser, and incl build/run info too, Docker, nginx etc. e2e system understanding is important.

[Ben Awad @benawad]

The coding tutorial space looks super crowded, but it is actually a barren wasteland after the basics of a programming language

everyone is making -> "Learn Python"
some -> "API Auth in Python" or "DBs + Python"
few -> "How to build a full project in Python"

@eduardojmatos @thiagoghisi As for small teams not having the luxury of having both Staff+ and Senior TEM roles at a high level... I think we've all been in the "wears many hats" phases of our careers at some point! 😅 (Maybe still even are!)

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@eduardojmatos @thiagoghisi I think the idea is for it to be teamwork/collaboration pls correct if wrong @thiagoghisi. Staff+ may not have insight on the current workload or skill/competency areas of the team to take on <new proj>, and TEM might not wanna be in 4hr whiteboarding doing designs for <new proj>

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@GergelyOrosz @Google And Slack...it's still the best one, they should focus on being a neutral ground with the best integrations and platform capabilities to allow people to build upon. Widest reach and best product is the aim. Just my personal thoughts.

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@GergelyOrosz @Google literally owns YT, meet recording and viewing HAS to be better than what we have now. Then they need to get Google domains unblocked wholesale from enterprises so meet can work! Teams clearly benefits from MS here, and Zoom maybe grew so fast that corpIT couldn't block it

[nilay patel @reckless]

I am begging Google to let me specify which Google account to use by default for specific services in Chrome and no I do not want to use Chrome profiles which are pure overkill

@janicemin @TheAnkler Chapter title proposal for when Binance pulled out of the deal "CZ Peasy".

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@GergelyOrosz Google Meet absolutely does not work in many Fortune 100 type orgs. Most G domains (excl. search) are blanket blocked. But Zoom rose so quickly that I.T. didn't have time to respond. Does Teams have the same issue? Not sure, but MSFT is certainly a known entity in the enterprise.

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@GergelyOrosz Am subbed to the @GoogleWorkspace product updates blog and the velocity has really ticked up recently. Feels like they are actually finishing things with a degree of polish now and not half done. Then again old habits... @GoogleTables is forever in beta!

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@reckless @curmudgeonaf @darrsil @backlon @mslopatto @alexhcranz @dcseifert @Trixxy @anotherhelen I still remember vividly an 07/08? era engadget pod where @joshuatopolsky goes something like "for people asking if there is video, the answer is yes...if you can't see it, your computer is broken". I laughed hard (and still do) at that! 🤣

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

Always interesting and valuable perspective from @ianmiell. When at old BigCo role, the crazy constraints around biz/process/tech debt made it interesting and even fun...at least in a Stockholm Syndrome kinda way 😅

[Ian Miell @ianmiell]

I have a story about how I built my career around maintenance and tech debt, which led me to Docker and Kubernetes, which in turn has led me to a career centred around how change happens in business.

@jim_goodison @lenovo_UKI @DellUK yeh, I managed to get a biz order through for an X1 in January of this year, but even still after a couple of days of things simply not working. No idea what they are playing at tbh. It's like they have just abandoned this whole department!

[HUSSTECH @HUSSTECH]

@lenovo_UKI website is a bit of a mess: random access denied messages when navigating, and no add to basket/checkout button on a product page...so I take it you want me to go to @DellUK ?

@ahachete Referential integrity for array elements. There is a patch which seems to be on the case that I stumble across each time I Google for the topic every once in a while. Always appreciate the continuous improvements in pg, so I'm sure just a matter of time!
