When everybody exceeds expectations then the expectations are too low.

Can you recommend any textbooks on marketing or another business subject?

I wonder if temporal [1] could be used to create DO. Had anyone here tried it?

Are there any self-hosted offerings similar to Durable Ojects? I like the idea of abstracting synchronization like this but enjoy being cloud agnostic.

That’s a cynical way of saying that maintaining relationships and trading information are the things of value. Accepting this will make any job more fulfilling- even with AI.

Both of you nailed it. I’ve always used the term “implied implementation” to describe the phenomenon where a description becomes prescription.

I once had the same fear but when I look at my education I realize that coding is not what forced me to learn lower level concepts. I learned how a computer works through deliberate study of lower level concepts and those learnings translated to a better understanding of code. The kids will be alright as long as study remains a common practice.

If I’m understanding correctly, the MVP and OSS are separate. If correct then I have to ask if the OSS version is in a usable state? Regardless, I’ll keep an eye on this project. Kudos.

Why is that an anti-pattern? Databases have added `SKIP LOCKED` and `SELECT FOR UPDATE` to handle these use cases. What are the downsides?

I wish this article spent more on the identification of personality conflicts. It's not clear from reading how a personality conflict differs from an idea conflict.

One highlight from the article is the culture of experimentation. Experimentation is often a requirement resolving conflict on technical teams since facts don't lie.

This looks like a great product that could really help smaller orgs get through SOC2 while leveraging engineering to automate as much as possible. I base that statement on the extensibility offered here.

Are there any orgs that are self-hosting that can offer testimonials?

This is technically correct but disingenuous. This reminds of the climate change comic where a scientist asks “What if climate change is a big hoax and we create a better world god nothing?”

Does anyone have experience with this? How does it compare to say Redshift?

The closest I’ve ever seen are programmers that avoid data collection and surveillance. Like avoiding social media and using an ad-blocker. Not exactly mortal risk aversion.

Can you give an example of a non-programming task where errors can be serious/fatal?

In my experience, the programmers are closest to the technical controls in the organization. In matters of compliance and security, the programmers will often play a key role in documenting existing practices and suggesting ways of meeting requirements.

Maybe you had something else in mind.
