“You lean heavily on managed services (Aurora Serverless, Kinesis, Step Functions) where the operational load is the value prop.”

Not viable even when your core belongs to AWS. Why? Ask prime video

And how does this work if you have multiple (single table SIC) databases on a microservices architecture?

Totally agree. Working as an employee you won't ever get the money they get as directors and even as owners

All good until the part of you need them working, not interviewing. That’s not true at all. If someone has to enter a team, should be screened by the team lead

It's easy to say productivity relating any metrics convenient for me so productivity matches my expectations. Why don't they share their metrics. And even when they do, as I see Microsoft's vision is so opinionated, I would doubtedly believe on their methods for collection and accuracy. Being realistic, whenever you work from home you are more responsible of what you do, so if you finish what you do in fewer hours but the "manager" gives you extra work because of his expectations from "work from home" where higher from the beginning, thus manager's expectations will always be higher than what is possible in reality

I think this kind of fraud should be investigated and penalized

Sorry if I misunderstood but I have seen this kind of thought in non experienced programmers woking on greenfield projects and taking any decision as in "the end justifies any means"

New comment by insaneisnotfree in "Ask HN: Should it be legal to switch privacy policies after purchase?"

insaneisnotfree — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 20:06:47 +0000

I think it should not be allowed to change after purchase because it is open for any changes and once you don't accept you will not be able to use the product. Forcing you to accept any change

I don't get it. What's the motive to create another layered file structure project organization?

New comment by insaneisnotfree in "Ask HN: How many of you are quitting over return to office?"

insaneisnotfree — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 23:58:05 +0000

In my case, I would gladly WFH 100% as it gives me more free time and also it gives me responsibility on how to manage my own work without having judging eyes all the time over me, also it gives me freedom on how to arrange my workspace.

BUT, company culture must be results oriented because otherwise stress could burn you out!

What protocol is this "channel" thing using behind? Because I went through the documentation and they don't mention anything of it. I can't understand why.
