If you're a software provider, you're obligated to consider efficiency.
How many lifetimes per year do you waste on making people wait?

Making sand do math. Gets excited when hears 'safety', 'distributed systems', 'tail latency', 'cryptography', 'legacy payment systems’, 'trading'

@naglalakk Ef þú hefðir borgað með indó þá hefðir þú amk getað séð klukkan hvað drykkirnir voru keyptir

Okay, lets talk nerdy. One of most fundamental underpinnings of the way we think about doing infrastructure automation is the idea that it's best done in a declarative way. Having a declaration of intent, followed by an idempotent, convergent control loop.

@GergelyOrosz @kelseyhightower This. Also don’t hide docs behind a login page.

@kelseyhightower The best "marketing" I've seen is the ability to download and try the tool, with e.g. a trial or some trivial payment. "Contact us for a quote" or get on a call with someone: thanks, I'm gone.
E.g. I use GH Copilot because it was a few clicks to get started and test it.

Mikið rætt um áhrif stöðunnar í Grindavík á fasteignamarkaðinn, sem verða vissulega áþreifanleg.

Sem betur fer gerði tístarinn leit og fann upprunann. Það er ekki algengt.

91/ Incredible image of the team of engineers working to close off the gap in the berm where the road was, even as the lava flow closed in on them. Given how effective the berm proved in diverting the lava, this is incredible work.

🚨Menswear gaurinn er að peppa lopapeysuna. Hvílík jólagjöf til íslensku þjóðarinnar

Alternatively, you can wear a patterned knit, such as a lopapeysa or Fair Isle (pics 1, 2). Or a sweater made from Donegal yarn. The irregular flecks in Donegal sit somewhere between a pattern and texture, allowing the knit to be worn with anything without clashing (pics 3, 4).

Have you ever wondered why people seemingly dressed better in the past? There are many reasons, such as the wide availability of skilled tailors. But an overlooked one has to do with how fabrics have changed over time. 🧵

@koddsson I also think fondly about the same company. We do friday feelings(usually) at indó, but we haven't nailed the processes yet.
English
We also did a bunch of scrum stuff but did it really well. Everything had a purpose and though was put into all the process so it wasn't just a daily meetings just to have one. It was actually tools to get stuff done and I think that was the only time I've done scrum that worked.

I used to work at a company that had a "Friday Feelings" meeting each week with the team. Probably one of the best companies I've worked for.

@asmartbear @patio11 If you’re selling a company you’ve probably figured out how to navigate orgs

@patio11 If you can even get them on the phone to ask that question.
Or the right person.

A random thing that will probably help someone out eventually:
Should you ever have the occasion to e.g. sell a company or have your startup equity become liquid, call your bank (or chat up a new bank) *in advance*, and ask "If I were to bring in new money, what's your offer?"

@adamhjk @milesward One thing I love about AWS VPCs is that they force you to decently architect your networks, which again forces you to think about failures
No more layer-2 nets stretched between far-away physical DCs “because it was easy”
AWS might not be cheaper but usually much better
English
@milesward I get it. My meta point is this - for a huge number of workloads, cloud *isn't* cheaper. It's obviously, manifestly more expensive. It has other benefits! Many of which are that we have largely forgotten that we knew how to build systems that were both physical and virtual.
English
Literally *everything* that happens in your cloud provider are things that we did, professionally, in datacenters, before there was a cloud provider. You can do them. It's not magic. You might choose not to! Which is great. I choose not to! But it's not because we can't. :)
