Why are you even commenting? And it's Railway not raleway.

Software Engineering bootcamps are probably the best cost/benefits ratio programs that exist. There is a reason why that is, this isn't a walk in the park.

Should you be paid equal to someone coming out of uni? I don't think so, the ramp-up will be hard and longer for the bootcamps guys, but this will change as you gain experience, after 5 years the difference in pay should be negligible if you properly ramp up!

What I don't like about this kind of articles is the one-sided way they explain things. I would have like he investigate how the tech lead role could also be improved.

I think you voiced the deadlock issue pretty well.

I think you are missing the point,

Of course you can do that but you enter another level of negotiation because you are quitting and it might not even count toward the budget at this point. I would not recommend doing that every year as a negotiation tactic either.

I tend to agree with Redwards, and unless you are working in a small company if you do your job correctly it becomes more a political game than anything else.

I'm surprised so many people only send to 1 Email Service. These services sometimes go down, sometimes slow down, having 2 active account and having an easy way to switch in between (read even automatic) should be an applied best practice.

I must say I agree,

I'm surprised OP is not aware that's the kind of sending that can raise a lot of red flags, before doing something like this on a new account I would have contacted support to make them aware of this situation.

Specially on smaller senders, reputation is everything.

Yeah we thought about that, but is it reliable? We were really not sure we could always get rid of the cold start issue.

It's funny we tested lambda + Amazon gateway api this week at work.

It's awesome!.. Until you have to deal with the cold start issue. Our first call takes about 1.5 seconds; and then all other calls take about 50-80ms.

Your container stays in cache about 5-10 minutes unless it is called back, there are no guarantees.

This micro service is not called often and for us 1.5 seconds is never acceptable.
