1. Cost tracking meetings with your finance team are useful, but for AWS and other services that support it I highly recommend setting billing alarms. The sooner you can know about runaway costs, the sooner you can do something about it.

2. Highly recommend PGAnalyze (https://pganalyze.com/) if you're running Postgres in your stack. It's really intuitive, and has proven itself invaluable many times when debugging issues.

3. Having used Notion for like 7 years now, I don't think I love it as much as I used to. I feel like the "complexity" of documents gets inflated by Notion and the number of tools it gives you, and the experience of just writing text in Notion isn't super smooth IMO.

4. +1 to moving off JIRA. We moved to Shortcut years ago, I know Linear is the new hotness now.

5. I would put Datadog as an "endorse". It's certainly expensive but I feel we get loads of value out of it since we leaned so heavily into it as a central platform.

Don't get me wrong, I think screen time can definitely be a problem. I just think it mostly comes down to whether or not the screen time is at the expense of something else more constructive.

To be fair, copilot review is actually alright at catching these sorts of things. It remains a nice courtesy to extend to your reviewer.

They produced, edited, interviewed multiple people including one of the people who worked directly on the project in question, and then provided a transcript of their conversation to make it accessible to a wider audience and that's lazy journalism?

Redis barely misses the decade cut I think, with an early 2009 start to a production launch and rapid adoption starting around mid-2009.
