Sometimes I think of Project Rolling Stone, the absolutely monstrous feat of migrating Amazon from Oracle to AWS. It took 2-3 years but it was done. Stunning task of change at scale.


True fact, intentionally misleading conclusion. Fuck @zerohedge

I am bearish. Not because of the business fundamentals, but because they had to hire McKinsey to look at their costs. 🚩🚩🚩

SCOOP: Peloton is working with consulting group McKinsey & Co. to review its cost structure, which could entail layoffs and store closures. One employee tells me morale at the company is at an "all time low." $pton cnbc.com/2022/01/18/pel…



Amazon has tens of thousands ppl on it. Wondering what’s going to happen.

Balaji is considered one of the finest thinkers in SV and tech world. And yet he makes such basic and naive mistakes that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. See the entire thread below with NNT

No. You can predict what she or he will purchase next quarter, maybe.



Some call it “disagree and commit”

If you disagree w/the current form of centralized government (& I do), you must have worked BEFOREHAND on changing the structure/building alternatives, instead of hampering its PRESENT crisis management (wars/pandemics), particularly where there is no immediate alternative.



Exactly. The top-down cEnSorShIp that ppl complain about (understanble to an extent) really is trumped by the self-censorship most twitter celebrities do on their own accounts by optimizing content on “what has worked”.

When followers get upset, they go away, and you get new followers. More generally, I despise authors who follow their audience, guided by "what has worked".



If you suck at copyrighting (like me) always make friends with a good one in the company.


Worth a bit reflection. There is balance because being lazy and not looking around corners can also get you in trouble. But in general building for things you “might” need in 2 years is a bad idea agreed. Still if you have a chance to build optionality with low effort you should

In software there is a tendency to try to reduce future imagined work by building something that is not needed today but is believed *will* be This is almost always a waste. It slows down building what is known to be needed today, and misses the mark on the future needs.

One of these wins awards, is promoted by every government agency in existence, festooned with certifications and permits, impractical and requires constant maintenance using tons of energy: ends up in landfill. The other lasts a thousand years and is completely illegal to build.

Taxing income means you want to tax doctors who save lives and let Tim Cook/Mark Zuckerberg pay $0 extra. That's why we're pissed. It's nonsense.


If you cook, but never clean the pots yourself, you leave the pots in a state that is way harder to clean. You make the whole process slower and inefficient. You have no business in cooking if you haven’t done your fair share of dishwashing. Same for engineering.


I learned something from this thread. Thanks @EsoticoFabio The required testing to go to work is not free nor cheap. It can amount to 10-20% of income for a worker. Italy has practically created a vaccination mandate for the poor, which makes the original article’s point valid.

Inaccurate. Suspension of pay is only up to 20 days and only until 12/21, no firing. More importantly, ppl don’t have to get vaccinated as long as they test regularly or had covid and recovered. Antigen test ok which is cheap. Zerohedge=NYT in terms of partisan news reporting.



Cosmetic surgery is fat tailed at the individual level.

Linda Evangelista, the ’90s-era supermodel, said she had become “brutally disfigured” and “unrecognizable” after a cosmetic fat-freezing procedure that caused her to become depressed and a recluse. nyti.ms/3EJYMkW



On second thought, there is one noble cause for investing especially in startups. To give a chance to people that wouldn’t otherwise have one.

Not sure why ppl that make a lot of money and could not work then choose to angel/VC invest and -apparently- love it. I invest because I have to but if I had “made it’ I would much rather sail, travel, paint, play, sing, dance, sculpt. Or build again.

Here is a downside of starting your own business. You can’t quit. Or it’s really hard to do. Which makes folks that do it even more worthy of admiration.
