What you describe is a quite normal way to do it. It is not like they do not care about your task or too protective about their code base. It is that you are just one of the many stakeholders they have to deal with and they very likely have a huge backlog that does require prioritization. Apparently, your task is not a top priority one.

Besides, they may have a certain delivery process with quality assurance that was designed for their scale, which prevents them from a real quick fix. Deviating from this process usually does not worth it - one small exception will become a rule once noticed by others.

Leaving the company for that reason is an extreme. Adapting to this pace may make things more comfortable. So you were told to migrate your app to their platform, but you have a dependency and cannot proceed before infra team resolves your ticket. Just describe the problem to your manager and take the next task from your backlog. It is as simple as that. Maybe your manager will discuss priorities again with infra team and they will do it faster. Maybe it is not that important to migrate and you can work on some new feature instead - you will know about it soon.

The one thing that you really need to know about big corps is that the world is not circling around you and your needs. There is usually a lot of hidden complexity in the organization, that you do not see and may even never discover. This is why building good relationships with your peers is important: you can call it politics, but what really matters is that you should trust in the decisions of your peers and make sure that your process is good and your interfaces with other teams are transparent enough.
A trick could be to have the first 30 seconds or minute of your song at a low amplitude. This will force them to manually increase the volume of their device so they can hear anything. After that initial quiet phase of your song, you can ramp up the volume to the original level! More louder!
Large companies spend more time on coordination, risk management and the mythical “alignment” than smaller companies, who spend more time doing. If done right, this creates economies of scale, as well as the predictability that Wall Street asks for.

But… To thrive you have to focus on a lot of less fun things. And excellence at the expense of the things listed above isn’t valued.

If you love the small company work environment more than your specific product, then you should consider an exit. If the value of your golden handcuffs is too high, then play along.
At large companies, I've always been in the habit of expecting one thing I need per quarter. That means that if I need something this quarter, I put it on the other team's roadmap for next quarter, and then do my integration the quarter after that. (My experience was an organization where OKRs were the root of all planning. If you are working with teams that do bug triage / prioritization / sprint planning every two weeks, then obviously the latency can be decreased. But quarters seem like an artificial boundary that people love for whatever reason.)

This sounds terrible, but it worked pretty well for larger things. I was a TL and was in the habit of meeting with my internal customers before quarterly planning, to make sure that we could add their requests to our todos for that quarter, and then make sure we always executed on them. (We did do the things we promised, so people could make accurate plans. I remember many quarters of people sounding mildly shocked that we did stuff they asked for, but after a track record of execution, we got trust without any pushback like "can you do that right now instead of next quarter?")

Obviously, this doesn't help you very much if you want to get your thing done today and move on to your next task. Your product and your integration is going to look like the org structure that your company has. If you need deep integration with the product but are a separate team, well, I've simply never seen that work. The teams need to be much closer together in the org for that to happen.

Edit: oh, I'll add one other thing. Once planning starts to work, you can kind of dial up or dial back how quickly you want to react to one-off tasks or special requests. For example, if your team has a track record of completing 100 story points worth of work per sprint, you could only take on 80 story points and use that capacity for special requests. Planning sounds like a drag, but the discipline is actually very useful.
So, the cost to the company becoming large is that politics exist. There are too many stakeholders and they want to pull things in different directions and you have to be politically savvy in order to balance between them.

This is not everyone's vibe and it is why a lot of Open Source software does better with a benevolent dictator than with a democratic process. For instance it's the reason that I don't contribute to Wikipedia.

Once you realize that you're particular situation is a political problem the solution becomes obvious. You stop working on the “required upgrade”, citing that you are blocked on this other team. If possible, track your onboarding feature in the big company's issue tracker, and link the two bugs as blockers. The political side is, if somebody actually needed you doing this VM migration work, they need to escalate to this other team. Or, they need to give you a big juicy high-profile project to refactor your code, to not do whatever it was.. and this gives you plenty of space to also do all sorts of other things that you never get to budget refactoring time for. Your call whether you like the game once you know how to play, or whether you nope out like I did with Wikipedia.
Quoting myself from elsewhere in this thread:

You should take a moment, and try to understand the other side of your request.

Read this response from /r/antiwork, it's about a new manager having to get his team to understand work life balance: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/rkk9qg/im_a_new_s...

Also, this issue goes beyond you. If you need something done, with a different org, that is now on your boss to figure out how to get that done, not you.
Not sure who you have been talking to but most Linux developers who I've communicated with have strongly suggested that you do always install updates and don't skip them. It seems it is an equally bad idea to disable automatic updates on Linux as it is on Windows; unfortunately neither of them are formally verified operating systems with any kind of guarantees about correctness and security, so you've just got to keep up with patches.

Is there any value in you learning how to effectively work in a place where things take weeks instead of days? If not, that's okay. Though do appreciate that as that 50 person company scales, it too will need to take a longer time to align all the moving pieces.

Moving slow isn't inherently bad, it just might not be.. your thing.
Actually, as far as we know, you need to add just as many levels as there are different substances in the human body. Not to mention, things could form structures that are problematic from a mechanical point of view, not just chemical. For example, gout is caused by crystalline formations causing damage to articulations. If you had crysatline formations like those in the stomach or other cavernous or muscular organ, you might have no problem. But, in any bony organ they are extremely problematic. Similarly for sand in the kidneys vs intestines and many others.

The body is much more complex than a collection of proteins.
What does this have to do with climate change, or the next 10 years, at all? Unrelated facts do not prove your argument. If anything, this shows we're using up a lot of our innovation capacity on things that aren't stopping something that's going to disrupt global society during the lifetime of many people currently living today.
Echoing others who have gone through the startup -> $LARGE_CORPORATION acquisition, and having been there myself: just leave. It won't get better. On the contrary, it'll get worse as those worth their salt see the writing on the wall and head for greener pastures. Before you know it, all the people you love working with will have moved on, you'll be the only one fighting for progress, and worst of all, the burden of responsibility will fall increasingly on your shoulders as one of the remaining few with domain knowledge.

Consider it mission accomplished, startup acquired, check the box, journey over, on to the next one. The market for software developers is on fire right now. You'll have no problem finding a new startup to join, and you'll be instantly relieved.

In reality, it looks as though RadioShack is planning to launch its own Radio token and will start by focusing on swaps, which is basically a service to exchange cryptocurrencies and tokens. Documents available on the RadioShack website describe this as "low-hanging fruit," mainly because of the "incredible levels of profit" available from trading fees.

Regardless of the amount of documentation available, for now the details around this blockchain venture seem less than clear. Lopez and Mehr are clearly staking the success of the entire operation on the strength of the RadioShack brand with consumers.

Yet another sign this isn't merely a "bubble" -- but a lemming march of historic proportions.

Bring it on, RadioShack, bring it on ...
This. I thought Wikileaks was an important endeavor and Julian Assange should be protected right up until he released "Collateral Murder." All he had to do was release the audio and video undoctored, it was damning enough in the raw. But the moment he decided to jazz it up with sound effects and music he lost all integrity. Ever since then Julian Assange's Wikileaks has only released "curated" information that he felt fits his narrative. The original Wikileaks was nothing like that, it was just that a wiki of leaks. I still think the original Wikileaks has a place in this world, but Julian Assange's Wikileaks is horseshit and I don't care if he gets arrested.

You can run an exit relay from home, at least in the US. There are some ISPs (mostly on the East coast, afaict) that may not help you, but most of them seem to understand how the laws work.

It doesn't matter.

Archives are exempt from being forbidden to create copies due to copyright infringement. The Library of Congress can make all the copies it wants, it just can't SELL them.

Now, there is a question whether a private company should legally be able to BE an archive of record, but as of now there's no legal reason they can't be, I believe. So it's legal.
Sort of like movie credits. You have no sense of how much longer they are going to take.

You do if you're an archive, actually.

To clarify that, there are two systems here:

- domainslib schedules all tasks across all cores (like Go).

- eio keeps tasks on the same core (and you can use a shared job queue to distribute work between cores if you want).

Eio can certainly do async IO on multiple cores.

Moving tasks freely between cores has some major downsides - for example every time a Go program wants to access a shared value, it needs to take a mutex (and be careful to avoid deadlocks). Such races can be very hard to debug.

I suspect that the extra reliability is often worth the cost of sometimes having unbalanced workloads between cores. We're still investigating how big this effect is. When I worked at Docker, we spent a lot of time dealing with races in the Go code, even though almost nothing in Docker is CPU intensive!

For a group of tasks on a single core, you can be sure that e.g. incrementing a counter or scanning an array is an atomic operation. Only blocking operations (such as reading from a file or socket) can allow something else to run. And eio schedules tasks deterministically, so if you test with (deterministic) mocks then the trace of your tests is deterministic too. Eio's own unit-tests are mostly expect-based tests where the test just checks that the trace output matches the recorded trace, for example.

The Eio README has more information, plus a getting-started guide: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/eio/blob/main/README.md
You make it sound as if the ability to create loans is an intrinsic property of banks, as opposed to it being a licensed monopoly granted to such institutions by the state.
I’ve been there before.

It’s all going to come down to your manager. You shouldn’t be out there fighting for resources from other teams and arguing their relative priority. Your manager needs to be working within the new company to establish priorities and get the appropriate time, money, headcount, and resources in place to make these things happen. The platform team won’t automatically know your situation and it’s not really your place to drive it. Get your manager involved.

However, you have to watch closely to see how your management chain is handling the acquisition the great energy and enthusiasm they had for the startup might be completely gone now that they’ve been acquired. If they’re only sticking around long enough to cash in their earn-out provision, they may be completely uninterested in helping out. If this is the case, you probably aren’t going to get any happier in your current role.

Language buffs take note -- Page 7 of the contract states: The agreement "shall continue in force for a period of five years from the date it is made, and thereafter for successive five year terms, unless and until terminated by one year prior notice in writing by either party."
Rogers' intent in 2002 was to lock into a long-term deal of at least five years. But when regulators with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) parsed the wording, they reached another conclusion.
The validity of the contract and the millions of dollars at stake all came down to one point -- the second comma in the sentence.
Had it not been there, the right to cancel wouldn't have applied to the first five years of the contract and Rogers would be protected from the higher rates it now faces.
"Based on the rules of punctuation," the comma in question "allows for the termination of the [contract]at any time, without cause, upon one-year's written notice," the regulator said.
The names are listed with the biggest star first. Billing order is part of the contract. But the posters typically have the biggest star in the middle, most visually prominent, and then the smaller stars on both sides or sourrounding.

Who asked you to do this? They should be "going to bat" to make sure that you're getting what you need to do this.

If it's some high up in your acquiring company who asked for this, that high up should be talking to the other team and making it known that they need to cater to you.

But: If this is some initiative from your team because you're good team players, expect whoever wants this done to put in the political grind. ("You asked for xyz, you need to do the politics if you want this donw.") Otherwise, it's best to move to a different task.
So you can empty them without letting air in. It doesn't break.

Is there a part of the system that keeps working even if the value of bitcoin stops (being believed to keep) going up all the time?

If ETH or some other new token takes more and more mindshare from btc isn’t that a big inflationary pressure on the crypto ecosystem as a whole? More tokens = less valuable tokens.

At some point buy the dip will turn into cash out.
I'm a user (via Setapp) and I love it. Can I suggest a feature? I'd love if mission control would open the desktops view in mission control sometimes. I think this used to be a toggle (or hidden pref?) in MacOS.

Why rotate the ramjet? All you'd really need to do is absorb the mass instead of shooting it out the tail, that would brake you just fine over a long enough time period.
This is true, but I think that they really should disable approving the transaction prior to the simulation finishing. Because right now, you can simply approve a transaction blindly without letting this complete and seeing the changes in your account balance, which is probably what the people who got their wallet drained did I'd assume, just blindly click purchase because they are in full FOMO mode for their ape NFT.

People buying $2.75 million homes in Sunnyvale are largely either working (knowledge workers dependent primarily on wage labor) or middle (petit bourgeois; independent business owners and workers with mixed dependency on wage labor and capital investments) class.

Your point about self-medication got me thinking. Perhaps we are also at a crossroads in receiving medical care as well. There is an abundance of information available related to medical care that did not exist even 10 years ago. Doctors and mental health professionals can no longer gatekeep critical information, like was tried with ivermectin.
Yes, large companies work this way. I think you are person who does not want to waste your time for the sake of slow process. Staying longer will make you feel less confident of yourself. If it was me I would look for another fast paced startup or medium sized company.
