Really interested to give this a try. I haven't used RWX for CI yet (overall my builds wouldn't have benefited enough from the caching), but docker build times are definitely a pebble in my shoe

This is surprisingly (or not) common at defense contractors large and small.

I might be misunderstanding, but doesn't this

> You can't possibly know instantly all the exceptions to handle for a function (given it calls other functions w/ exceptions), whereas, if it returns a fixed bunch of error codes, then you can know why that specific function failed and handle appropriately.

presume that, despite not being able to know all exceptions to handle in advance, you somehow have knowledge of all error conditions in the event that you're using error codes?

Who's to say that this isn't already that simulation?

It would certainly explain the preponderance of open offices...

Does my asking this mean that I am a synesthete? Of course not. I've merely collected data that allows me to formulate the question.

I don't know that the Macromedia deal was all that bad.

While there are few, if any, surviving remnants of Macromedia software within Adobe, the acquisition of Macromedia both eliminated its most serious competitor and provided an influx of engineering talent.

Using stock price as a surrogate for overall performance, they went from ~$35 at the time of the acquisition to ~$155 today, with annual net income rising from $600M to $1.6B today.

And each one made only once!
