Good teams still document these. Amazon is apparently a leading example where the documents are considered the source of truth.

However many organisations have limited technical leadership enforcing quality, and management layers not willing to invest in these assets.

Unfortunately some 'modern' practices are being interpreted to make the processes like Agile the most important thing, and reducing the importance of things like code/system quality and knowledge management.

Having a good technical writer pays dividends

The author seems to be using Monolith and Monorepo interchangeably, when they are not.

This sentence "With that, Wayfair decided to split the monorepo into smaller microservices" makes little sense.

The main reason most people have monorepos in the first place is because they have smaller microservices, and to facilitate working on them as a unit.

The OP is incorrect, most of the large organisations he cites do not practice trunk-based development.

Google has a monorepo and what could describe as 'submit patch for code review'. Only certain engineers can approve reviews and trigger the patch being applied to the trunk.

Many of the others also have variations, but unlikely that any organisation with 1000+ engineers has a monorepo with all of those engineers directly committing to it.

If it made over $1b in a year previously, and had such insane load times, its very plausible this bad coding has cost them north of another $1b.

Probably ranks pretty highly up there in terms of damage to company financials, due to a lack of care.

ES had a business model. It was open-core, but with critical features like Security and Access-Control hidden behind their paid support.

The core disagreement was that Amazon (and many other contributors) wanted to add that to the base distribution, and Elasticsearch fought them for years on it, deliberately breaking any community plugins that got a solution working.

Enough blame for the current situation on all sides.

The whole point was that the Intercept had specialist security experts on staff who know this, but the reporter rushed the story, told his own sources in the intelligence community critical info without realizing, and never actually spoke to the Intercept security team.

The fact that the Editor-in-chief did not ensure their own processes were followed for an NSA leak is a failure.

Tailwind UI 6 years ago

I would expect their market is the group of professionals for whom doing that is simply not worth the time.

When your job is delivering high quality UX and there are always more apps to build in the pipeline, having someone give you a library of useful components works.

I have licenses for probably 4-5 of these, and they've all saved many hours of time, and resulted in avoiding the cost of a dedicated designer.

easiest way is just start experimenting with GKE on google cloud, and see if it has value to you. Don't bother trying to deploy and manage it before you've kicked the tires.

Out of the box its quite good, depending on what you are doing, once you have cert-manager issuing you free certs, linkerd managing a service mesh, and stackdriver giving you an entire ops stack, its a bit hard to go back

antirez keep doing what you are doing. so many thousands get utility from a small, reliable, piece of software that does what we need, and next release doesn't suddenly increase its surface area. I trust your judgement.

Having a hierarchy that gets narrower at the top, with people earning more, is not what makes something a pyramid scheme.

Having the earnings of the higher tier directly funded by financial contributions from the lower tiers is.

I lot of MLMs have a particular 'hiding in plain site deception'. The retail margins on the consumer goods aren't where the bulk of the top tier earnings are coming from. The conferences, training materials, tapes, courses and a raft of support systems for the distributors... all produced at very little cost are the true source. This is where the generous subsidies come from.

It doesn't port anything. Valid JS is valid TS, its just that the TS compiler processes it and tends to surface issues that just running it under Nodejs doesn't

Edgar, you might be interested to know there are significant problems with the big javascript files being downloaded on Linux for Office365, particularly for WordOnline.

We've done similar experiments and proven it to be again based on your own user-agent detection, since normally they will take 30-60 seconds to load, causing the UI to essentially lock up and fail, when faking the agent-user to something else will work around it.

Multiple attempts at contacting Microsoft support come back with its not supported.

Its the Web... pretty sure you can build things without breaking them for Linux.

Its not much of a hack - take a medically approved auto injector - take a medically approved needle - put the needle on a different syringe - put the syringe in the injector

It's still all medical grade parts isn't it?
