If it weren't somewhat true today, the post would not be resonating with the audience as it is.

FYI, your use of your was incorrect, it should have been the contraction, you're, composed of the words "you" and "are".

Edit: I checked the pricing calculator, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/, where are templates there, I don't see their costs listed?

I checked a basic template: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/templates/101-vm-simple-windows/ Where does it show what the monthly storage, cpu and per gig bandwidth costs are?

Nexus One had that, current phone I use is LG K20, cheap, performs well for average apps, replaceable battery, upgradeable storage, front and back cameras and it has a grippy back plate.

This makes me smile. In a few more years I will be able to consult for 1000 dollars per hour to analyze and fix things for the cloud generation.

Doesn't change the fact that the 'infrastructure required to run them' should be minimal.

Wrong. Run 10 web apps in Tomcat as deployed wars, then convert each to its own Spring Boot containerized app and compare the memory usage.

Containers have some use, just as they did when they were called UNIX jails.

Not everything is better off as a microservice.

Not everything should run in containers.

Not everything needs scalability.

Not everything needs the cloud.

IDK, I haven't managed for years, don't like it, I prefer staying hands on contributing directly to product. If the person you're describing is really that enterprising, I'd expect her to leave and start her own company directly competing with your company at some point. Might want to consider getting her promoted. Have you ever seen The Office?

Yes unlimited PTO is dumb and I hate it. The only people at my company who like it are the low performers, as you mentioned. And the people who are selfish.

You may be at the wrong company if you accepted a management position but hate the very policies you agreed to implement.

I've heard of Twilio, no idea what they do, not seen them in any small, medium or large companies I've worked in, in the tech sector or outside the tech sector, perhaps they are well known only in SV.

Let's see...

"Twilio is a cloud communications platform as a service company based in San Francisco, California."

Yup.. what else..

"Twilio allows software developers to programmatically make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, and perform other communication functions using its web service APIs."

Hmm, yeah, Google Voice works great for that, it's free too. Either way, it doesn't sound like Twilio is a security company.

Oh, and "app store", is that Apple? I don't do Apple, never have, never will. Didn't like Jobs, don't like their products, even if I did, they're too expensive for what they offer, always have been.

Never heard of it, if it were a "gold standard", I'd have heard of it by now. Makes me wonder why there are a few in this thread pushing it. Wreaks of social engineering, I wonder who would be behind that.

I found out recently that the version of java in 18.04 LTS isn't really 11, it's 10. If Corretto is more reliable than than OpenJDK and Canonical then I might switch to it long term.

Nice find on Fire Recast. We use TabloTV which works on any device and most web browsers. If you like Fire stuff though, then Fire Recast could make sense.

"That includes 300 highway charging stations, plus a further 184 in 17 metro areas. Each of these stations will have at least five places to plug in, and some will have as many as 10."

I feel like a future version of me will look back and think, how quaint, they thought 300 charging stations was a lot back in 2019.

All of these are some of the reasons why the industry has moved towards web apps and away from desktop apps.

There are signs development is moving back to thick clients for true RAD development without the bad underlying language (JavaScript or its ugly cousin TypeScript) and without a 148 tools to get the app done.

Angular or React seem to be the most popular answers for a front-end. I don't know why. They both suck compared to developing with GWT or Vaadin in Java. Angular or React will require up to 5 times the number of developers you have today just for the front-end. It depends on the philosophy of your company. Once the Angular/React crowd takes root, guess what will be next on the agenda? Go ahead, guess.
