There’s an expression at Amazon, adopted from our Indian colleagues: do the needful.

It means do what’s necessary to accomplish your objective and don’t worry so much about what the “right” approach is — that you should feel empowered to solve problems, not get caught up in the never ending stream of people yelling about what is “correct”.

Your goal is to release a product, and you have a tight deadline, so use the tools that let you accomplish that — what you’re familiar with, what you understand, and what enables you to work quickly.

If Kubernetes authors have opinions about how you work, they should show some customer obsession and release a product you can effectively use. That’s not your problem.

Your problem is releasing your app. Do the needful.

There’s no shame in that.

For some meme fun:

40,000 gallons is approximately 150,000 L, while an Olympic pool is in the area of 1,000,000 L.

So around 0.15 Olympic pools — roughly, a football field would fill an Olympic pool in a week.

The second sounds like hub-and-spoke, where you have pods of 2-4 people clustered around common area. (I enjoy that as well.)

Open concept is usually more like 20-40 in a giant pen without any sort of separation or soundproofing between.

Studies suggest hub-and-spoke is good; open concept is high density feedlots applied to white collar work.

Isn’t that “hacking” in the cyber crime sense?

I know Bloomberg et al don’t appreciate my attempting to bypass their technical controls and cause undesired effects on their systems, and would likely file a criminal complaint.

Why is it legal for advertisers to write code which is meant to bypass a system control and exceed their authorization?

I think we need a browser that automates CFAA complaints to the FBI when a company engages in behavior that would be illegal for an individual — such as hacking your audio.

I believe at the point where a company writes code with the explicit purpose of bypassing your control of the computer, eg autoplaying a video despite technical measures being taken to prohibit that behavior, it constitutes a breach of the CFAA.
