Listen to his charming and deeply entertaining story of his early years at SF Examiner, told at The Moth in 1999: https://themoth.org/stories/rookie-reporter 15 minutes you won't regret!
I'd love to try this, but most of the places that I would want to use it are servers, and the rust requirements are way beyond where debian-stable lives. Too much hassle to muck with backports and package pinning for a…
I'm pretty into this place's business philosophy: just ship us your stuff with a little bit of information and we'll repair it. don't call ahead, don't ask for a quote, don't send us garbage that's not worth repairing.…
ATE0! Once upon a time I worked for what was (once) the world's largest BBS. Remember the US Robotics Courier HST? 16.8kbps! Now imagine a room filled with shelf after shelf of Couriers, several hundred individual…
An article much more relevant to that question: https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/02/slowchat/ It took Instagram Stories two quarters to catch up to Snapchat's total MAU.
it seems to come down to two main points, as far as consumer tech companies go: 1. GAAP says that revenue from a software service subscription (e.g. cloud service) can only be counted as revenue once the service has…
I'd say the data platform overall, bigquery is certainly great . So are some other bits.
Spotifier here. For the record, I hate puppet with the fiery intensity of a thousand suns. It's also pretty hard to magically make go away. I could probably do a whole talk on why puppet is difficult to kill, it's the…
I would categorize data tooling as a moving target - we have some, it's never enough, it probably won't ever be enough. It's a moving target (p.s. obligatory we're hiring!). I think this Quora post does a good job of…
Spotifier here. Frankly, price is not the biggest factor in a decision like this. If we were going for the lowest cost cloud option, it probably wouldn't be either AWS or Google - there are other providers who are…
Spotifier here. This is an important point. I have nothing bad to say about Cloudera or HWX (disclaimer: we're an HWX customer - we've had a pretty good experience), but I don't really see a compelling reason at this…
Spotifier here. One of the big risks that we identified with the Google partnership was exactly this: Google isn't exactly known for awesome customer service. We've been very pleasantly surprised. The cloud team has…
To fix this problem, we introduced the simple rule that new stable releases of the software must (a) talk to old stable releases and (b) they must support existing apps, without changes. We more or less succeeded with…
This. This is so often overlooked. Getting your architecture to roughly align with your team structure can do wonders, even if there's only a hallway dividing people. When a small team can iterate and evolve a chunk of…
We use it pretty extensively at Spotify. Google will turn up a handful of public talks we've given about it.
Spotify, NYC and Stockholm, for...lots of stuff! - Backend Engineers: Improve our ad systems and enable better, more relevant targeting. Build and scale our backends. - Frontend Web Developers: Mine, aggregate and…
