I wonder what the paper was about? Maybe she'll publish it anyway, or at least make it public?

Perhaps it's just confusing to people like me, who don't work on "platform engineering teams". The sentence is just too packed with terms I have no analogy for.

The best analogy I came up with is "It's like kubernetes and jenkins had a baby."

Based on the comments on this thread:

Amazon has a real problem if even the HN audience can't easily figure out what a new service is.

I actually didn't get it either, and came to the comments for help.

Thanks. My eldest daughter is 11 and that's exactly the stuff I worry about.

Thanks. My kids would probably play it on their iPads (we don't even have a PC). Most of their iPad games offer in-app purchases already or force them to watch commercials. It's the messaging that concerns me most.

As a parent with two kids who like minecraft - is Roblox safe for kids? I've heard yes and no.

"You can go a long way if you avoid stupid mistakes."

I find this true whenever I decide to take on a new endeavour. If you can learn from someone else's mistakes, you're better off than 80% of the competition in ANY MARKET.

So many people have an idea to make money, look at the competition, and give up. But if you keep going just a bit further, you find out that most of the competition, which looked so daunting at the start, is actually awful.

Curious that Bitcoin topped $12k for the first time in a long while yesterday. Makes me wonder who knew in advance.

Being in cryptocurrencies has made me cynical.

Reminds of software development estimation. You start out with a rough "ballpark" idea of the task and say it will take about 10 days.

Then you actually start the task and realize how screwed you are.

And then your manager thinks you're an idiot because you said 10 days and it's 150 years later and required a treaty with Canada to resolve.
