I guess "online retailer" example could be extended to many of the companies that are creating consumer products.

it works really well if all you are drawing is an eclipse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Could be a bug in the client or your implementation of $1.

I don't think it was particularly good or bad, when I was there. I don't drink beer none of my friends ever said "this beer is great" or "this beer sucks".

The cost isn't the only reason

- CERN started planning its computing grid before AWS was launched.

- It's pretty complicated (politics, mission, vision) for CERN to use external proprietary software/hardware for its main functions (they have even started to MS Office like products.)

- [cost] CERN is quite different than a small team researchers doing few years research. the scale is enormous and very long lived, like for decades continue

- and more...

HPC and scientific computing aside, I would have loved to be able to use AWS when I worked there, internal infra for running web apps and services wasn't nearly good & reliable, neither had a wide catalog of services offered.

I think the trick is cutting down animations

Ideally you have metrics for all flags and their values, so you can easily tell if one becomes redundant and safe to remove entirely after a while.

I've also seen making it a requirement to remove a flag after N days, the feature is completely rolled out.

I bumped into this just yesterday, it's sad that the page ranks very high for "open source ticketing" :(

yeah I didn't know it until i tried to copy-paste to post here :)
