@PetieKinder Feel the same way about meat consumption

We asked partners across a16z to spotlight one thing that they think startups in their field will tackle in the next year. From new marketplaces to hybrid communities to AI-powered products, these are the big ideas consumer tech will tackle in 2023: a16z.com/2022/12/15/big… 🧵👇

@delusionary @GergelyOrosz Scrum

@elektrolytes @GergelyOrosz What is “strict agile”?

@GergelyOrosz Not sure what development methodology twitter uses internally, but if they use strict agile I hope they get rid of it ASAP and other companies follow suit

@GergelyOrosz I’ve seen the scenarios too often where microservices end up actually becoming nanoservices. I think a lot of orgs have gone overboard of making everything a microservice, it quickly gets hard to manage and maintain so many apps

Powerful concepts everyone should know (to understand the world):

Linkedin makes me sick wtf, no way people are actually like this

@GergelyOrosz Also believe software architecture should be a collaborative process between all engineers with the lead taking the helm. Especially if it effects other teams. Maybe a google doc like process

@GergelyOrosz I see a lot of possibilities for improvement for the software architecture process imo. A lot of times I see these overcomplicated diagrams that one person came up with and just gave the engineers to build. A lot of times engineers have to make adjustments to them

Incredible how some “traditional” companies operate. A well-known bank in a country has a Tech team and an Architecture team. Architecture does not report to - or is related - to Tech. They make all the Tech architecture decisions. The Architects don’t even come from Tech.

Email was ahead of its time

@pmarca Hmmm puts more pressure on ETH to hurry up the transition to proof of stake. Wonder how long they can delay before another proof of stake coin dethrones it

@Jason I understand the role of smartphones lifting people out of poverty, but how did Amazon? I thought Amazon's global market share was pretty slim, unless you're talking about AWS

the iPhone & Amazon probably lifted more folks out of poverty than any other explicit effort… (and as a second order effect of globalization and wages increasing in Asia)
