Reading as a reader is kinda different than reading as a writer. Different mind states. As a reader I'm getting lost in a story, not picking up on writing styles and patterns. You're not wrong. Just need the caveat of reading with the intention (or partial intention) to pull yourself out of the story and check out the architecture.
Why quit before finding a new job? I never get posts like this.

> Apple has control over your phone, your passwords, your photos, your music, your emails, your credit cards/payment methods.

This gets repetitive but: only if you let them. I’m not even sure you need an Apple ID to use an iPhone either, although you will for the App Store. Everything else is extra: iCloud, Apple Music, iCloud email, the Apple Wallet. Your Dropbox, Spotify, email host and credit cards don’t just fall into an abyss when you create an Apple ID.

Apple has what you give them. That’s true for every single one of their customers. Contrast that with Facebook that built shadow profiles before people even had accounts because the websites you visited and apps you used were relaying information back to them.
Most people might have heard about Bitcoin by now. But how many people have actually bought Bitcoin? Maybe several million .. 50-100 worldwide?

IMO it all depends upon how inflation of the major currencies develops. If we see sustained high inflation at the current level then there might be hundreds of millions of people around the world, who could become interested in Bitcoin.

Data Orchestration Trends: The Shift from Data Pipelines to Data Products
cerr should flush on \n too by default, AFAIK.
I'm basically a sysadmin, who took work doing web development to make a living. The web-work involved backend and frontend, like most web-work. In addition, I set up VMs, and scripts to set up VMs, and build-pipelines, and a code repository, and repository hooks to trigger builds.

I never really enjoyed web-work. In the beginning, it was mainly about browser incompatibilities; then libraries like JQuery came along, rendering Javascript essentially a new language. Then the young whippersnappers on the team started dragging in things like Moustache, RoR, microservices and so on - about one new technology each month.

I have reckoned that it takes me about 6 months to get good at a new language or programming paradigm. So I have no chance to become expert at everything the whippersnappers want to be using (and I reckon they don't either).

I wasn't team leader or anything; I wish the bosses had stomped on the "newsness is best" thing more firmly. As it is, although my work covered the stack from top to bottom, I wasn't "full stack" because I didn't know a lot of the stuff my colleagues were using.
The hackathon: "let's make a machine that interprets sign language" trope is a personal bugbear of mine.

Being able to read out finger spelling is kinda useless when most of the relevant population can't spell (why bother with an abitrary phonetic encoding for words in a language you don't know)

Newer systems can read entire signs, which is cooler, but still useless because they can't handle the grammar or context. Just some words in isolation.

Don't waste time on this. This is not an accessability tool for the disabled, it is a "feel proud tool" for undergrads with a machine learning library.

The real technological solution that would be helpful is still a few more major advancements away. It needs to handle grammar (ASL has radically different grammar than most spoken languages fyi). Going from a spoken language to a sign language is also significantly more useful.

Go learn ASL (or your local sign language) and encourage others to learn. That effort will do more good in making the world accessible to those who depend on sign language to understand and be understood.
Very interesting. Mullvad seems to be the most extreme and reputable VPN service out there when it comes to privacy. At least it seems that way.
> it only really means that they didn’t think they would win

Or that the suing party is so tiny that when Google wins and bankrupts them, they won't cover their own court costs or the salaries of the lawyers who burnt time defending Google's case, or that the evidence they'll present to win is more valuable to Google as a competitive secret, or or or.

There's actually a lot of reasons a company settles, and (as a long-time hobby observer of legal process) I'd caution against drawing a guilt-or-innocence conclusion from a settlement. Court is a bad place to be where neither party is in control of their destiny anymore, and a settlement just means one or both parties didn't want to be in court. That's all.

Outside of classroom-style dedicated instruction, this really does seem to be the best form of learning, i.e. a semi-active/not-fully-passive approach.

There is generally no "hack" that the student can use to avoid having to read a lot of stuff, in order to learn and especially to become an expert. What a student needs to read, isn't necessarily textbooks or the traditional orthodoxy of materials, but still there is undoubtedly a lot of reading that must be done, to "get good" as they say.

That being said, for a teacher to GUIDE that reading, to give some hints, pointers, themes, interconnections, sequencing (start with X, then read Y to deepen your knowledge of X), etc., is absolutely invaluable.

To me, this seems like the Pareto-optimal 80/20 breakdown, where 20% of the teacher's investment in time and energy can get you 80% of the benefit of having teaching at all (i.e. don't need a full curriculum or full-time commitment to dedicated instruction, but do need to spend some time/energy pointing the student in various directions and giving them some ideas to think about while reading).
If you keep monolith and don’t chase new tech all the time you can still be fullstack.

We are p-zombies. Just a collection of them.

I cannot control my reaction to almost anything, in reality. I couldn't change the initial feelings that happened when I read your post. Yes, are nothing more than our bodies accumulated evolved p zombies. Including this bit that types this out to calm the zombie that is evolved to respond to verbal rebuttals. Even the use of first person pronouns is part of the reflexes that are very deep.
> Is the problem that the company you’re working for has bad managers?

No, obviously not.

No, obviously not.

I believe the OPs goal was improve a specific failing manager. I think he didn't do this very well, but let's not straw man him.

I agree with no more than one thought per sentence in general, though I have the opposite problem: it often takes me several paragraphs to get a single thought across. So the end result ends up being something like 0.1 thoughts per sentence.

I guess what I'm trying to get across is not a single
thought but a perspective which requires some background and context to appreciate, and I struggle with separating out the essential from the incidental, and structuring it for maximum engagement.

But that's just an admission that the whole thing is going to be ran by a small unaccountable group that gets to decide everything. Direct Democratic governance can't function without high voter turn-out. If the system is set up assuming low voter turnout, it means the notion of there being democratic governance is a sham to begin with.

A system where the people who don't want to be involved in the day-to-day operations elect representatives to protect their interests would be a more appropriate fit here.

Total aside, but I've not seen this use of the word "plurality" before - I'm reading it here as a synonym for "majority", which might be wrong of me! Is it colloquial to a certain group of English language speakers?
I think the spirit of this advice translates well to publishing style, too.

I get intimidated when I see big blocks of text.

But take that same, intimidating block and thoughtfully break it into short, punchier paragraphs and I'm in.

Shorter paragraphs make it easier for me to skim and get a sense of where something is going. They also give me more chances to pause, catch my breath, and internalize what I'm reading.

This is harder for me to do in a big block of text where I'm afraid I'll lose my place if I divert my attention.
Ironically, this snippet seems to be a bit too much wrapped!

Interestingly nobody would be fined by the regulator had the misconfiguration not been discovered by someone stupid enough to to post about it with their real name, organised criminals would have been smarter about it.
The misconfiguration on a “firewall” sounds like AWS is deep into the capital one org tightly controlling the narrative. Whilst at the end of the day it was an EC2 that had access to all the accounts S3 buckets that was configured to pass out its role token to anyone that asked and the bucket itself had no protection against outside access with a compromised key. This to me sounds like absolute negligence for an FI and rightfully deserves the fine. Back when this attack was done the AWS service made it very complex to mitigate against this type of attack and since then AWS have scrambled to release a bunch of “features” to fix this like Aws:calledvia , s3:resourceaccount condition key, s3 block public access came out just before attack was made public I am sure there were others but this is what I can recall.
I love RSS (I use newsblur). It makes it so easy to keep track of seldom updated, yet useful content.

For this list, the big question, which you allude to, is "who is updating the list, and how often?". Putting together the list one time is semi-useful, having it updated quarterly would be fantastic. (Not that I'm volunteering :) .) In 2023, will this list still be good or will it be, like many other 'ultimate lists' out of date, with 25% of the entries not active?

I also think that RSS is great for notifications. I recently did a project at FusionAuth (my employer) making our software releases available as an RSS feed (previously just an web page). Got a few "hurrahs", though it seems like the most common use was to have the RSS item be posted to slack.

Acronyms in titles are bad enough, the article never defines the acronym at all
The problem is that, according to OPs Linkedin, landing at Spotify was a huge career goal. I think that he really thought high of himself + really wanted to stay. Maybe he even did not realize that he is "just a contractor".
That’s totally different. What’s unique here is the epigenetic mechanism of the effect. The effects are fixed at conception when recombination occurs and have nothing to do with development in the womb.

Edit: it’s also worth noting that epigenetic effects can span generations[1], something that a purely environmental effect could not.

Politics. Look at what Scientific American has become. Everything has an agenda. True science news is hard to come by.
A hairline space between em-dashes can be quite visually pleasing (in American writing; British uses full spaces around en-dashes). Like what Medium does.

But in that case I would prefer that the source text still has no spaces. Such things can be added in postprocessing.

1. Not an issue for me. Connection reuse support in Lambda is quite good

2. NoSQL is a good skill to keep your in bucket anyhow. DynamoDB is a different approach, but much of the same tenets you'll find in other NoSQL databases still apply. Using tools like dynamodb-toolbox [1] help greatly with paradigm shifts into Dynamo.

3. True. Ask yourself how much this matters. How likely is it that you'll need to support another cloud provider for a single product? In 20 years I've seen a platform provider switch exactly once. And DynamoDB can be exported easily.

4. Nope. But there are things to learn about cold starts; how to structure code, where to initialize things, which things should be singletons, etc.

5. Depends on the situations and needs. The right tool for the right job, if you will. I've written GraphQL servers that run on lambda which serve 300k users daily. I've also done the same using Fargate/ECS et al. Much of the decisions revolve around complexity of execution and cost factors (e.g. the cost and complexity of running lambda's to process data often versus a Fargate service). You're getting into Software Architecture now.

6. Again, depends on the situation. You'll need to start thinking about what individual services/components/things are doing, what they need, and how they need to run. Gather that information, and then start cost comparisons using the pricing tools the provider has.

I use Apple Pay as a protocol to pay with either credit card or maestro through my own bank or its competitors. Apple state they don't get any of my payment data as it stays on my devices and with my bank. It is a method of communication and not a payment provider.

Apple dictates the browser engine for security and battery life considerations which I regard as a feature. There are multiple browsers which can implement any feature on top of the browser engine included.

And Apple does not dictate what content is allowed to contain. But they do the opposite, they disallow certain content to keep their devices safe to use for the general audience/children. Anything else can be viewed on the web. They are over time removing restrictions in the browser like adding web push in iOS 16.

I feel like half the comments here didn’t read the article and are basing their comments on a few top level comments.

After the reading the article in its entirety it is clear the author acknowledges their own faults. In the “passive aggressive ticketing instance” the author clearly mentions that it’s a misstep on their end.

The author also concludes with a possible perspective from the manager’s side.

The article is not a rant. Its tone is balanced. It does not bash on Spotify. The author does not portray themselves as gloriously right. Of course it’s a biased article, but that’s to be expected. It reads like someone’s personal blog.
So this is just based on valuation of companies there?

London doesn't strike me as the best place to start a company. It is a super-expensive city. It's probably comparable to NYC but with lower earnings. Maybe lower earnings is the point?

And now with Brexit, London doesn't have as easy access to the EU financial system and it's somewhat more difficult to hire EU workers.

London of course has a long history with finance but I really wonder how much of this is just inertia.
Great benefit. I also recommend to find a reputable masked card service provider if you plan to use a credit/debit card. Autopay is just another way for banks and providers to circumvent overdraft protection legislation and hopefully new legislation will remove any "perks" that providers offer for autopay services.
Not to mention that people who say that they don't know what they're doing, but are earning 6 figure salaries are being extremely condescending to everyone else. The idea here is that you get paid for your expertise. If you don't have it, get it!
There's always other sides of the story.

Would love to see/read the story of the manager and the manager's manager who have also left Spotify provide their take. Clearly, with the person identified, the managers were painted in a negative light that similarly, this could be detrimental to their future aspirations.

Lots of Spotify folks here could also attest to the story and perhaps provide their own take. Would clear any doubts and set the record straight.

Did you happen to read the article?

In regards to the ARP:
"Estimates suggest that fiscal support measures designed to counteract the severity of the pandemic’s economic effect may have contributed to this divergence by raising inflation about 3 percentage points by the end of 2021."

And then Trump:
"...because it was enacted after more than $3 trillion had already been spent to stimulate the economy under Trump."

So what is not proper about Trump and Republicans sharing the blame if not shouldering more?....
But isn't it one of the manager role goals to keep the developers churn down? I wonder, how is this balanced, when it's more important to have the correct subordination, or keeping the churn down.

I've always loved that Mullvad wouldn't let you accidentally compromise your own security.

This just extends that kind of thinking to the service in general.

It's kind of surprising that they managed to convince so many people it is secure. I think part of it is that the people who really care about this sort of thing never bothered with it since it requires a phone number.

Could it be that the more you know, the more you realise how much more there is to know? That would explain the feeling of impostor syndrome in more senior people - they're judging by different standards.
You have to approach it as interpersonal conflict? What, does the international federation of manager of managers take away your manager of managers license for not following the manager of managers code to the letter?

Managers are expected to be held up to a higher standard because they were presumed to be better at interpersonal relationships as a reason for moving into the role.

Yes, it's certainly not great when an IC is unprofessional but they're expected to be maturing over time and the range of issues that could provoke an IC to be unprofessional is vast and could conceivably never reoccur. Managers have less excuse, they're the ones placing the people on their team and they're the ones responsible for dealing with issues within their team.

Your role as a manager of managers is just to do what works. By pretending there's some external force that binds you from reaching the right decision is a way of externalizing responsibility so you can enact a decision you secretly want to but are unwilling to morally admit to yourself.
