knodi··on Terraform vs. AWS CloudFormation
This support for CloudFormation across AWS services is crazy bad. For the longest time you couldn't have an ALB rules with it. To fill this gap you have to create dreaded custom resources... which can get suck for 4 hours.

Is anything shocked by this? Chinese has been stealing IP for over 40 years now with government backing. In-fact government of China has encouraged such behavior and in some cases down right funded it.

Just like before they'll get away with it. Who's going to stop this behemoth thug China?

If you don't figure out how to control this I'm afraid startups are not for you. Find a job somewhere you'll be happy with, without this stress of constant burden of startups.

You need to stop killing your self over this.

The issue is firmly with stakeholders. Complex business practices, needs, and processes yield complex system(s) to support them. Simplify your business process and practices, and you’ll have a simpler system.

knodi··on Fortnite’s cash cow is Playstation, not iOS, court documents reveal
I think Epic is right, 30% is too much. Apps market is competitive and margins are already slim with cost of marking, advertising, development, and maintenance. I get Apple offers a great experience and no cost of making apps accessible.

None of this would be an issue if iPhone/iPad was open to non-apple app stores. Apple is being greedy here, can't install your own apps (non app stores) and can't have an alternative to app store so what are people left to do.

Impossible burger has better nutritional profile than real meat burger.
knodi··on The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
Hard part was support. Due to my clients being from around the world, sometimes they need help with items and expect a certain level of service, such and responses to support questions with in 24 hours or sometimes sooner. This required me to 90% of the time forward the inquiry to the a upstream vendor and that took time to collateral the right data to vendor (from the client's inquiry).

I did end up hiring a support personal for help to give me some breathing room on the weekends.

knodi··on The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
Yes, I no longer have the business. It got harder and harder to compete with larger players as the market begin to attract more players. I sold of the business to a larger company (just contracts and not tech).

knodi··on OpenSearch: AWS fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana
This! The company I work for spending over $750,000 with Elastic Cloud every year and the quality of service we get from them leave a lot of be desired. I don't feel bad for Elasticsearch corp, they have done this to them selfs.
knodi··on The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
I have done with before, ran and one man b2b saas platform with 30clients from around the world. Infrastructure was the easiest part. We where processing roughly 100million messages a day, about 5 nodes. Monitoring was good, application performance tracking was good. Business ran for close to 7 years, making about 1.3mill a year on an average year.
knodi··on Janet Yellen to call for global minimum corporate tax rate of 21%
this is a battle to the bottom. Whats to stop India from offering 6.25% corporate tax rate, what will Ireland do next go to 3% tax rate to? only losers with this kind of thinking is the individuals that end up paying more taxes than the multinationals.
knodi··on Janet Yellen to call for global minimum corporate tax rate of 21%
I think this is good idea and thinking far into the future. With corporations constantly paying an lower tax rate than individuals and being able to move HQ to countries that offer a bigger tax break is leading to corporate taxes being deferred to the individuals. Prisoner's dilemma. This I hope will break that cycle and corporations can finally pay their fair share of the taxes.
