Re:I was deceived about Covid vaccine safety

Humanity has never seen a vaccination campaign like covid. This is first of its kind, to this scale assuring safety would have been the first foremost for all who would have worked on this vaccine. We have to trust.
Re:Ask HN: Startup acquired by a large company and it sucks. What to do?

Yes, large companies work this way. I think you are person who does not want to waste your time for the sake of slow process. Staying longer will make you feel less confident of yourself. If it was me I would look for another fast paced startup or medium sized company.
Re:Don't start with microservices – monoliths are your friend

Choose your architecture.
Worked with a huge monoliths, business critical, predictable usage, easy debugging, deployment simple, onboarding quick even with less documentation.
Worked with microservices, business critical, predictable usage, less documentation here onboarding took long time spent on how it works, Hard to debug, never needed to scale up. (Why microservices ? )
Lessons learnt: Problem is never with the architecture. Why you choose one over the other is the question to ask when you start on.

This is my suggestion, learn any language of your choice. 1. Build a crud web application , 2. Build a product which you want to use for yourself. Start working in a team .

Yes totally agree, being liked by teammates helps you climb the ladder.I would say it is a bitter truth .
Moral to learn as developers: Follow PR rules even if you are owner or admin, senior executive dev or junior dev.

Value of data owned by FB is precious today and this still growing in value. The problem is as a user you are taken for granted. You have no information as a user on what research studies your data is used or will be used in the future. I do not think FB realizes the ethical responsibility of holding such valuable data.

Totally agree with you, most of the time founders are not aware this is happening down the ladder. I have seen this scenario with the middle layer management protecting their jobs and gate keeping in most companies today.

Facebook cannot be compared to any other industry. Facebook's ethical problems is not about the services they provide, it is about the quantity of data collected with consent(ignorance). I hope everyone working inside is ethical as believed by the upper management.

Re:Italian authorities discover 29M Oxford/AstraZeneca doses: La Stampa

Political issues are not new in Europe. Having lived in France, I thought the question on the vaccine was due to strict high quality standards in healthcare. But the problems with Oxford/AstraZeneca seems to be a political puzzle (May be I am wrong)
Re:Ask HN: Do you think Agile/Scrum is beneficial for software delivery?
on Thursday March 04, 2021 @10:20PM (#26352178)
When done right Agile as a process is beneficial to product development. In the framework Scrum, dailys facilitate communication, and increase productivity.
Cons of any product development process is not taking into account human interaction and assuming a perfect team.
Build a team first, choose process to get the best out of this team be it Agile/whatever.
I meant Qml, is much more like Flutter, but I felt the learning curve was steeper than flutter.
Flutter is winning the race in cross platform development. I have been using Flutter for past few days, and I really like the package on whole, tools and community. Having used Xamarin and Qt in the past, Flutter is a lot easier to learn.

Whenever I try to adopt DRY I tell this myself.
- don't over engineer.
- may be KISS (keep it simple stupid).

IT system failure should never affect hospitals. This is strange (worked in IT hospital systems in Europe) most of the hospitals have IT disaster / recovery plan to operate during failures like this. And hospital admissions switch to classic paper based.
Re:How I got the French Tech Visa to start my company in France
on Friday August 21, 2020 @07:46AM (#24234042)
I lived in France for 10+ years, I graduated at a French University and worked as software engineer, from what I have seen, France is not racist, but to assimilate into the society is not easy, I totally agree. I am fluent in French, so it is not about the language. Racism on streets of Paris does not exist at all, but racism exists at work, that is more worrying in France. Articles like this portray a welcoming image of France, because I could say I have been treated disrespectfully at the visa offices in France.

Agree to lot of your points.
Insipite of all these risks, a lot of management teams find value with outsourcing. I guess they feel risks are every where around.
