Generally the person doesn’t sound that silly or pathologically helpless in the meeting. Sometimes they are a committee of extremely intelligent people, because only a large and well-resourced organization acting in concert can reach the heights of no-agency-exists-anywhere.

Sam Altman warned us: “Everyone thinks you can hire someone to do this." "That fails 100% of the time." A board of directors won't cut it. The secret to building a generational company, according to him? The founder doing this every day:

In 2020 Figma started hitting growing pains with their single managed Postgres database. That means they managed to grow to a $2B company on a single mged instance. I bet at they hired engineers around this time who grumbled about not picking a more ‘scalable’ tech.

I started off in web development through the Flask Mega-Tutorial by @miguelgrinberg (bought the book!) and @nickjanetakis tutorials/blogs. Both were full stack from the Database to the Browser, and incl build/run info too, Docker, nginx etc. e2e system understanding is important.

The coding tutorial space looks super crowded, but it is actually a barren wasteland after the basics of a programming language everyone is making -> "Learn Python" some -> "API Auth in Python" or "DBs Python" few -> "How to build a full project in Python"

Always interesting and valuable perspective from @ianmiell. When at old BigCo role, the crazy constraints around biz/process/tech debt made it interesting and even fun...at least in a Stockholm Syndrome kinda way 😅

I have a story about how I built my career around maintenance and tech debt, which led me to Docker and Kubernetes, which in turn has led me to a career centred around how change happens in business. Read on... 1/n

At home on a Saturday night searching for an Internet Explorer machine to test compatibility of a feature. Well... my 2019 is going swimmingly then. (PS - I don't think the laptop is here)
