I would agree with you that there is some coverage of these issues...lately. Yesterday for instance CNN ran a story about the suicide trend in Japan. However there was very little coverage of the secondary effects until late in the summer.

One does not simply retrieve a record from the database. One must first declare a type to represent the database's view of the record and copy it into a repository layer. Next a type shall be declared to translate the repository's view of the record to a domain layer. Another type shall translate the domain layer's view of the record to the controller layer's view...and so on.

We now use Teams video chat at work. The results have been mixed. When the number of meeting participants is low (<5) the video seems to work well. Anything above that we start seeing random disconnects. We've had better experiences with Zoom for larger meetings (~25).

In the short term it might look bad. But in the long term it would encourage other companies to enter the market and existing players to increase their capacity.

We now use Teams at work for video conferencing all the time. Before the emergency we hardly ever did.

If you like books I recommend Humble and Farley's "Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation". It was written before cloud native practices like containers were mainstream so not all the advice will be relevant but it has good chapters on source code management practices and CI.

I once worked for a company that uses SAP for several important business processes. The software provides great support for well defined areas like payroll, benefits, accounting and so on. It does not work well for things that are unique about the business (i.e. how it sells to- or services customers). For those things custom built software is usually a better choice.

Enlighten me. How is the analogy broken?

Nope. Automation is technology and so is transportation. Both can cause pollution but that's besides the point.

Analogy: "In the past, a well-meaning body of public servants decided there was a need to slow down microprocessors to protect jobs threatened by automation, reduce resource consumption and benefit the climate. CPU frequency was capped at 25MHz and instruction length was limited to 8 bits. The move was hailed as a great victory for humans, nature and the climate"

As a nation, where would we be today (compared to where we are) if a policy like that had actually been adopted?

What was your process for leaving Google? I'm on Android, have a GMail account and so on. If you want to leave where do you start?

Here's a weight loss tip I've used with some degree of success: exercise portion control by using smaller dinner plates at home and chew the food on the plate longer (like 30s). The rationale is that the sensation of feeling full takes about 20 minutes to kick in and so by practicing the above you end up eating less over time and as a result lose weight. There is also a possibility your body will make better use of the food this way as there are enzymes in your mouth that help with digestion.

> I had a list at one point, not much VPC and IAM Roles, but routing tables, CIDR blocks, NAT Gateways Just curious - how is the developer experience different on Azure? There are different types of developers. Some like to have full control and end up building their own cloud infrastructure while others like to have no control and go with something like Heroku (or maybe Azure, but I'm not too familiar with that hence my question).
