Or they think extensively about performance. Regardless, the switch shows they pay attention and are willing to change.

Seems par for the course that even AWS employees don't even understand their pricing. I noticed the pricing similarity and tried to deploy to .metal instances. And that's when I got hit with additional charges. If you…

You're missing the purpose of the cache. At least for this argument it's mostly for network responses. HDD was 10ms, which was noticeable for cached network request that needs to go back out on the wire. This was also…
If you don't have scale, you don't need most of the features. Fire up PC, load application. Setup egress port open to internet. Setup application backup on cron job. Done until scale problems arise.
2015 called and wants it's hype back.
I ran the numbers the other day. For just compute with my particular load, my numbers say AWS costs 73928x more for lambda over my on-prem. Like for like is 1250x more. This is presuming the savings levels for being a…
Why does everyone always jump to this fiction? You probably aren't paying a "cloud engineer" just to fiddle with cloud config full time with <$100k/yr spend. Why would you suddenly need a full time sysop to do the same…
A lieutenant is not the captain. As a lieutenant, I don't get to just go do whatever. I advise, I provide options, I make calls that don't to up to the CEO level. I pick tech stacks, I pick how to do the things we…

> Some teachers genuinely love and care for their students I agree. And they are among the best of teachers. But the ability of such a person to meet the love needs of a wanting child in the setting of schooling is near…
On the other side, who's going to love them at school? Overloaded teachers? Administrators? Other still very immature students? Lack of love is a problem. School is quite clearly not a solution to that.
There is a pretty big difference between "abuse happens" and "this environment is fundamentally worse". Schools have pretty abysmal records as far as preventing abuse to children. Bullying is massive, be it…
Keep in mind that the number of devs that are inexperienced is very high. Growth in the industry has been explosive. So there is a large population of devs that just don't understand how one might reasonably live, and…
There's a lot of nuance in cloud or no cloud. You jumped right to AC and diesel. You can have a pretty sizable server capability on modern hardware before you need to touch that. I can serve what... 1M users? perhaps…
The cloud was principally designed 2005-2013 era where it was pretty reasonable for an average website to need to go multi system to support traffic spikes. CPU hardware kind of stagnated 2014-2018, while SSDs took off.…

I've used Meteor. I thought it was a good system. It didn't have offline capability, at least not back when I used it. It really needed to be connected to work. But conceptually, yes, it had a very similar system.
If I'm generalizing. B2C products frequently fit but not always. B2B products generally don't but can in some circumstances.
One user can have multiple clients. This is frequently the case, many to most users have both a PC and a phone. Also when one allows reasonable sharing of the account with family, 5+ connected clients is common.
