I mean, Prime Video is still a bunch of microservices, it comes down to where you define the boundary between 'service and 'microservice'. That blogpost was specifically about "the Prime Video audio/video monitoring service". Eg it's a service/microservice for QA, not for all of Prime Video. I'm sure there are seperate services for billing, browsing, captioning, and streaming.

And although the author called it "moving from microservices to monolith" it's more about moving from serverless to more traditional compute.

Is it that hard to setup Wireguard or OpenVPN? The popularity of this here perplexes me.

I don’t like nesting single use functions.

At a certain point this is necessary due to overall length. You don't want a single function that is hundreds of lines long - they suck to debug and to test. Single-use functions break that up into logical chunks that make it easier to understand.

The moment I follow a function and it’s just another abstraction for more functions I start feeling dread.

This can actually be ideal in many cases due to the Single-responsibility Principle. Think of the purpose of those functions as coordinating the workflow of the other functions.

Oh look, the tankies are here

I never got training like that at Amazon. They do have aggressive email and chat retention policies though "because legal said so"

It's fine IMO. Traffic isn't high enough for a split to make sense

Yeah, now you just get a wage ceiling where you're only employable if you're cheaper than the robot.

No, insider trading. Which it may or may not even be.

Typically there's some kind of plan where they have to announce sale of shares well in advance or a 'trading window' when they can buy/sell shares freely.

Insinuations of insider trading are going off too little info so far. That said it's not a good look for any of those people and I'd guess the FTC will investigate them.

That person ends up being the success or failure of the project. If they're doing a bad or mediocre job there's nothing that can change that course because you won't know that until it's too late. The flip-side is that it prevents 'design-by-committee' mediocrity and can allow people with bold visions to express those ideas.

It's better for chest congestion than pseudo (which is better for nasal).
