  1. and of course, when that once-in-a-lifetime scenario happens, Texas would find a way to lose to THAT team. brilliant
  2. All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast Working Code (Shout out to my boy Ben Nadel--we collab'd in the past) Peter Schiff (because I enjoy Fed rants) JRE Hidden Forces with Demetri (paid sub)
  3. hmmmm. and what are the optics right now?
  4. so john dismukes, brad vinson, and carlos zaffirini are dumb fucks. got it.
  5. so with the garza angst in this thread, i'm SURE full surly voter participation is a certainty. right? VOTED /no cr
  6. yeah, she's bad ass. have to respect the work ethic and new record. wish her the best in the wnba,
  7. Sunflares can target 5G connections, but not LTE? My older ATT LTE phones have 0 probs. All newer 5G iPhones are out. Maybe I'm just dumb.
  8. is this where we rant about the AT&T outage? there shall be less trolling on X/twitter. limited Karen traffic on nextdoor complaining about cars parking along the street.
  9. one dude lays pipe. another dude dresses funny and can only write articles about laying pipe.
  10. it might be a sign of their overall architecture. that's a possibility. but IMHO, it's a definite sign of over-specialization within their org. in the "old days", high cost and avoiding unnecessary spend was just something you did. i mean, part of management was to ensure cost optimization for the business. with cloud, you have devOps and finOps--which means you spend lots of $$$$ on people terraforming all day with the pseudo bean counter oversight to notify on cost over runs. i think that's really unnecessary but it makes the business "feel" like they're doing something to address high cloud costs. and honestly, devops and finops can and will be owned by AI in the next few years. companies with over-specialization tend to over-hire. this results in layoffs--and i think we're seeing that process take place right now.
  11. true, an architect should know but it's not that simple. you have to factor in project deadlines, project team skill levels, technical debt, compliance/legal, data pipelines and potential migrations, multi-cloud dependencies, business ROI and many other things. throw everything into the mix and you end up with "it depends"-type compromises. the run-time nature and client traffic for legacy/new solutions will also change your architecture. lift and shift caused many headaches. cloud newbs simply migrated on-prem apps to the cloud without full, well-thought out assessments. there's not enough talent out there to make the hard decisions and accept accountability. that's why high-level FTE's shift this work to consultants : )
  12. Yup. Azure and GCP feasting on AWS market share. It was bound to happen. I think it will be a race to the bottom---public cloud commoditization. I see increased number of hybrid cloud projects. Cloud repatriation for companies burned with high costs due to lack of cloud migration planning, but whatever. The work is there and will be with us for a long time.
  13. it's ok. he'd still have 7 lives remaining.
  14. i did that 22 years ago. austin had the derps then, and continues to out derp itself every year.
  15. we're still at (1,5). ey, mck, bain are your overlords.
  16. its strongest value proposition right there.
  17. the latest tech buzz thingy -- a social marker to separate kewl kids from the olds.
  18. it doesn't need to be smart. it just needs to function and exist as an option for Product and Business. this way, they can define useless projects that will never materialize, lay off low-hanging fruit, and expense 3-5 year project timelines to justify future spend. profit. repeat.
  19. maybe the era of fat, lazy, stupid meat head coaches is done? lol
  20. not only enough to get beat, but also set embarrassing franchise records for absolute futility. well done.
  21. Yup. Just saw the news. This is the first place I thought of...seeing how FTW HAS exploded.
