They really turned it around. You should check it out.
But yeah, super crappy launch.
Re:Airbnb Eval-driven development: Lessons from evaluating GenAI at scale

Why does it matter if it’s coming from Airbnb vs some other business? Should the originating business crowd out interest in the actual topic for the reader?

The nice thing in this case is that Django will meet you where you are with your preferences. Want to go the manual route? Sure. Want it to take a shot at auto-generation and then you customize? Very doable and. Want to let Django take the wheel fully the majority of the time? Sure.

Most countries don’t have a notion of a formally licensed software engineer, anyway. Arguing what is and is not engineering is not useful.
Re:Will a 50-Year Mortgage Make Homes More Affordable?

Homes are lucrative investment vehicles. I’d expect many of these to get gobbled up people and companies looking to make a buck.
Re:A Major Postgres Upgrade with Zero Downtime

I’ve never been on a team that migrated to Aurora PG for raw query perf. It is slower than a bespoke setup that is optimized for raw latency, but Aurora is going to hold up under much higher traffic with much less fuss. It also has an excellent snapshot/restore facility.

Auto vacuuming is enabled now. We did have some near misses due to long running vacuums that barely completed before wraparounds, but got things tuned over time.
I did none of that work but was on the team where it happened.

The last line in the comment was a little petty but I don’t think I’d describe it as a Molotov cocktail. It sucks that we’ve ended up in this situation but Texas is an objectively more risky place to live if you are in the 50% of the population that has a uterus.

Why do you need to be a top IC after years managing managers? Some of the worst managers I've seen tried to cling too much to the technical details, which is smothering to the actual ICs.
