This is exactly what I thought, the irony is that there are Distributed Systems Patterns hosted on the same domain.

It's a static site, slap in a Cloudflare for crying out loud.

Vaguely remember reading that ChatGPT uses CosmosDB, even ScottGu spoke about it.
Will wait for the RCA, the update says that they will resort to last known estimate as of 15 July. I’m guessing that would imply that the bug is at a lower level, write or an ingestion path.
The panic was real. We read about keys getting stolen all the time. Was about to nuke my set up too.

This was exactly my experience too. The interviewer seemed more focused on checking boxes on the grading rubric than actually understanding the design discussion. They barely engaged with alternative approaches.

The interviewer was also very hard for me to understand, which made the interview harder than it should have been.

I am ESL too, so this is not about someone’s background. The problem is communication in an interview where both sides need to understand each other clearly.

From what I have seen on Blind, others have had similar experiences.

Ever since Rick Rubin has been on his book tour, he has become the patron saint of Product Manger Tech Twitter.

I think it's just an internet trope at this moment.

What's evergreen about it?
Thank you for saying this. Some journos don’t mind crossing the line for a click bait headline.

A certain YC company fired a few employees for not using AI, the CEO bragged about it on X and incidentally it was a crypto company.
Input: I ate an ice cream.

Output: I’m thrilled to share that I’ve successfully completed a strategic session of personal refueling by optimizing my afternoon with a premium cold-chain dairy solution.

In today’s fast-paced environment, it’s vital to pause and celebrate the small wins. This experience reminded me of the importance of temperature control, instant gratification, and the power of a well-timed reward.

Key takeaways:

1. Agility is everything—eat it before it melts.

2. Quality matters—always go for the double scoop.

3. Consistency is king.

> now it's in Zuck's interest to get his competitor's moat bridged as fast as possible.

It's this, and by making it open and available on every cloud out there would make this accessible to other start ups who might play in Meta's competitor's spaces.

Yes, this absolutely mind boggling. Not insinuating or suggesting anything, but if I could wear my tinfoil hat for a bit. I wonder if there was a significant psy-op conducted IRL so that the original author couldn't devote time and would eventually handover ownership to bad actors.

I hope some three letter agencies are conducting a deeper investigation into this.

> I mean, LinkedIn has what, 20,000 employees? If you had spherical developers in a vacuum, I doubt you'd need more than 40-50 to maintain their products, but there's more to running a tech company.

This is a ridiculous take. You would need way more than that just to maintain Kafka and run ops for it, that LinkedIn heavily relies on. You are trivializing the complexity of running a platform like LinkedIn.

How soon can Google _Productize_ it?
As a non US/Canada based reader reading the article, I had a hard time grokking the article without visuals of how this was pulled off.

OOTL here. What happened?

The Spotify inserted ads during the podcast makes a lot of sense now. They are really trying to make the books look good. Is this a leading indicator that the podcasts could go more towards the exclusives / originals route? For example: Like Joe Rogan.
Edit: Making no excuses, this one is embarrassing.
That might be selection bias, in those 11 years Jobs built NeXT.

A lot of Apple's engineering and product line back then owe their provenance and lineage to NeXT.

Four CEO changes in five days to be precise.

Sam -> Mira -> Emmet -> Sam
