Post-Christmas tradition: climb to the top of Butser Hill to shake away the cobwebs (code for hangover) and you are rewarded with a stunning view of the South Downs

It’s that time of year where I have to negotiate my team’s annual comp plans with RevOps and the CFO. At the end of the first meeting, all parties firmly agreed that they weren’t happy with any of the others’ suggestions and we settled on a resounding NO

But… nobody rage quit the meeting and I haven’t been fired (yet), so I’m taking it as a massively successful first step

I work for a consultancy firm where we go into businesses and "digitally enable" them. All we really do is take their data and build them glorified excel spreadsheets with lots of auto formulas in. They pay a fortune for snake oil.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) by text message is so boring. Sometimes, I wait so long for the code to arrive that I fantasize about how much more exciting it would have been if I’d just had my accounts hacked instead

This is a screenshot of a single VM running on Google Cloud and driving a phenomenal >20GB/sec of data throughput 🏎️, courtesy of a blog post by my friend @TanelPoder . For those who know, that number is only half the story - the other half is the 0.42ms latency 🤯

But now, thanks to @silk_us, virtually any business critical database workload can run safely, reliably and with high performance 🚀. Plus, compared to cloud native solutions, it's much more cost-effective 💰
