In my experience small firms will struggle to hire excellent system engineers that can manage a bare metal setup, it's easier however to hire okay-ish SWE's that can design applications appropriate for cloud.

That's why they call it Big Data

This is basically my experience too. For me it was demeaning, exhausting and a complete waste of time.

My 2c's are that platform teams are a silo for expertise on how anything is run at a company and can become a bottleneck for other teams when getting things done. In an ideal scenario the product team can consume resources via an API, but in my experience resources are only assigned via a ticketing system and the associated communication barriers this creates leads to friction.

My main issue with ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 is when outputting in German it's too polite and grovelling, asking to write something terse and assertive it'll still insert a compliment or use a submissively formulation. Letter writing in German is akin to playing golf in a minefield, you only communicate the information which is necessary.

Unless you're a boss you can't make the kind of changes in the team that I'm guessing you're hoping for, if you point this out in a rude way you might antagonize the situation and curb your potential career growth at the company. I would advise that you raise it in a factual manner with your direct superior and focus on what is expected of you. If you don't see an improvement then look for another team.

Looks cool, i would agree the space needs a shakeup.

But I see you don't have an inbound offering, I'm looking for something similar to what sendgrid and mailgun offer in that i can receive a POST request to my API everytime someone sends an email to [email protected]. Ideally with the following features:

1. Solid email MIME data parsing into JSON or XML

2. retry handling

3. included in the free tier (mailgun excludes this)

4. inbound routing based on parsed data

But why would you want a car? they make no sense... they're slower than a bike or public transport in a city, slower than a train between cities and you have to pay huge amounts to keep them. Maybe they make sense if you live in a village but when you live in a big city in Germany it's a bad proposition.

Having looked at the connections as they are, i think there are a handful of optimizations that could be made to the schedule and routes available that would reduce the ICE time advantage, like for example Berlin to Leipzig doesn't have a direct regional train.

My first excursion with the 49 euro ticket felt like the whole of Germany was now an extension to the Berliner S-Bahn.
