Software is also top level. Everything just “works” if you use apple ecosystem.

There is no single provider that does all of that combined as good as apple.

I think its safe to say that its pure failed management from EA.

Bad decisions, mismanagement, greed.

Tho not the first aquisition I see nose-diving due to incompetent management.

I did find others to organize. We meet few times per year, train bushcraft and surviving in post apocalyptic world.

Looking at our politicians and bilionairs - this seem to be the only sensible choice we have.

5 years earlier would let me pay my mortage and invest into stock to not have to work and retire by 40s.

But thats how it is in the world - first come first served.

But I find it hilarious ppl think that building company during for example dotcom was hard. Source - family who did just that.

Are you saying that behaviour is strictly determined by one’s race ?

Didn’t we abolish that and agreed there is no such a thing as race in case of humans ?

Accountability? Never heard of him, probably works in another department. Check out with Carol.

Funny analogy. “The only constant is change”. Thats why humans constantly repeat the same mistakes we covered and wrote about in last 3000 years.

The pace of learning for our spieces is devastatingly slow. We rather regress faster than learn.

We are closer to idiocracy, due to knowledge and skills atrophy (not only due to AI).

So when we can fire C suite? Not like they do any meaningful work beside paying themselves tens of millions of bonuses.

Ah - never ? Because corpo ladder is rigged? Ok, thats what I thought.

TL;DR is that its extremely hard to show staff level expertise if you work at a wrong company. And the amount of companies that still need this expertise is ever decreasing (big corpos with a lot of autonomy)

This is the real reason why we dont see natural path for more ppl to progress towards Staff level.

Interestingly noone talks about this. “Be first or bust”

As an autistic person that has issues with understanding other ppls “feelings” - Yes, you are labeled as deficient.

But… I can always make better decisions, coldly calculate pros and cons, dont let feelings take better of me.

Im much better at anything I do than your average person.

Example I started carpenting work, became better at it in few weeks than my teacher that does it for 20 years (his words).

Can start doing something new and become really good at it very fast.

In a logical sense - Im much much better than any average normal person at anything.

But Im deficient, because I have issues socializing or understanding ppl behaviour.

Ps. I talk straight from heart, coz I see no value in lying.

Ps2. I also strongly believe, ppl like me are the next evolution step for humans. Overdependance on feelings and first guesses is very detrimental for us as a spieces.

How does it handle 100000 write transactions per second ?

From multi-client architecture and with regional HA?

Its not a meme. Postgres does all of those things good enough to be always considered the first pick.

I love Postgres. Im using it for majority of my career in IT. It never failed me, even on very big scale.

Amazing piece of software.

Difference is in how you sell it.

We all know that people make mistakes. I.e. crash a car from time to time.

We all are sold a view that AI will save humanity, cure all diseases, solve all problems, allow for autonomous driving and many other (lies?).

While making basic mistakes or crashing on trivial crossroads..

Hype is way overblown.
