When the incentive to finish a goal shifts from the innate satisfaction of completion to a fear of financial penalty, is it possible that the goal itself will unintentionally change in subtle ways?
This seems to assume that a developer necessarily hits an MVP in PHP faster than in other languages. This might be true when comparing with the tooling/dependency nightmares of JS/NPM, but a half decent Python dev can get a Flask app up and running in about 15 minutes.
I have been working at a standup desk for about the last 10 years. To combat fatigue, I add a walk around the room every 20 minutes. This system has mostly eliminated all aches and pains for me.
One good example I can think of is if there is a no-right-turn-on-red combined with an unusually long red light. These are common in intersections with 4 green-left-turn arrows.
A knowledgeable driver might know to make a right turn at an earlier intersection, whereas the navigation apps do not always account for this.
In contrast to that, in Los Angeles, Uber drivers quite often are not familiar with the area they serve, so they are glued to their navigation apps. This can not only create unsafe driving conditions, but sometimes can cause an Uber ride to take twice as long as a taxi ride.
If convenience, comfort, and customer service are not a priority, and I just need to get somewhere fast, the taxi is still the way to go.
I am sure there were also people who opposed asbestos for home construction. We don't sit here with our hindsight telescopes and call them fearful simpletons . This article suffers from a survivor and confirmation bias.
I have not checked lately, but there have been two major features lacking in Linode that have compelled me to move away to AWS:
1. Managed firewall service, such as AWS Security Groups. I really do not want to have to manage hundreds of iptables scripts.
2. Easy point and click, yet advanced private network management such as AWS VPC. Last I checked, I had to run OpenVPN on top of my Linode setup, which really was not ideal.
Within the sport of surfing, some groups of friends might sometimes have their own small set of hand signs for communicating when verbal communication is not always possible out in the ocean.
Redshift is great for some use cases, and completely unsuitable for others. If testing the waters with Postgres is your objective, Redshift will not be a good representation.
