selckin··on Ask HN: Why Are Companies Tokenmaxxing?
if i had to guess: people are afraid to use new tools and the initial reduction in productivity and don't know what the acceptable $ usage is limiting their growth/self-education and exploration of an entire new way of working.

selckin··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
well can't create an instance without having quota available

and low quota is low, like 10 cpu, so start a 2 node k8s cluster with 8cpu each? nope, go request quota increase

selckin··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
no, they have very low quotas by default, and you have to request increases through the portal, which then get rejected and you click the button to contact support/email and then you sometimes have to negotiate with them

you have to do this for every single instance type they have, can't even experiment or test other instance types cause its too much trouble to get quota
