I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Microsoft for hiring the single greatest group of humans I’ll most likely ever work with and then making it impossible for us to stay.

In our experience having 1 or 2 retreat each year is a must. Let people meet whenever they want paying for travel expenses could help. Also have dedicsted slack channel to non working topics can work. Most of all don't forget to have fun any time you can,even in online meetings

Can we acknowledge how ridiculous it is that startups and even individuals can bankrupt themselves...
... with an AWS bill?
I cannot fathom why Amazon does not do anything meaningful to allow setting e.g. limits on accounts. Why do we need to hear stories like this on repeat?

ALT 8.31am. I got a call. We ran up a $65,345 AWS bill without realising. I remember the day vividly. I got woken up by my phone ringing. 'Hello?' It was someone from Amazon. Our card on account had been declined. I knew there was money in the bank, so I said I'd check. I asked for clarification on the amount. '$65,345', they said. My heart sank. Stomach turned. I felt a wave of panic flush over my entire body. I didn't know what to do, so I said let me look into it, and hung up. First I called my Co-Founders, told them to sit down, and let them know the situation. Next, I called our head of engineering at the time, and tried to figure what the hell had happened.

Goodness do I have so many thoughts about this exchange, which is more worth reading than most gossipy exchanges because there are large portions of economy that operate this way and you may want to select out of working for them.

Development speed is not worth fretting about. Deliver value. When you work with deliberation & competence, you are working as fast as you can. Wishing will not change that. In any event, if it's truly valuable, you have no choice about building it, no matter how long it takes.

The recommendation I give everybody starting up in tech is: read the source.
Are you using a library that you like? Read it.
Have you got a bug you can’t solve? Read the source of the dependencies.
Somebody is pitching a framework as magical? Read it.
No matter what, read code.

Rector should really shine on large code base were automated refactoring is pretty much the only way to go

Friends, don't be so defeatist! If you have bad tests, don't bitch about it, refactor them. They're not written in stone you know.

Before reading this I actually was going down the route of “it is all systematic issues” on Facebook. A bunch of naive or incompetent people put in position where they inadvertently do harm. Turns out doing harm is a very educated and deliberate calculation by these “people”. Wow
