Webex/Outlook/Teams/Zoom/Slack/Gmail - None of these are any inferior or superior to each other (maybe not at the start when the product was launched - there could be big feature/usability gap - but once they are matured which most of these - not much differentiators to matter) and literally none of these products to be used at any corporations are evaluated by their technical or usability excellence - it is simply vetoed or decided by the corporation CEO know which vendor's CEO/CFO well and what both companies agree to barter (use my product and in exchange I will use your product in my company kind of thing). For a end user in any company - unless you are super advance user or some niche feature - any of these software should just work well for day to day usage.

Atomic Habits

Working on a trading (stock/etf) web application (for day traders) built using spring boot, react, mysql, docker, docker-compose, terraform, variety of aws services (s3, codebuild, codepipeline, ec2) Not yet live but will publish in couple of months.

"The Billionaire Who Wasn't" - impressive book about Chuck Feeney - very impressive on how he accomplished giving away his fortune.

Agreed. Recently started reading Radical Candor by Kim Scott and truly - it could be written as (maybe a longish) a blog post than fluff that's been added to the book.

when i play the clips - can't hear sound on any of the clips. do I need to have a twitter account to hear the audio?

There is no audio because the original cast of Seinfeld has not come back to record new dialogue about tech. We can only dream.

Very cool! Amazing work you all!

Just use AWS ECS Fargate - probably much easier to manage/setup than your own k8s cluster or even ECS k8s route. Azure/GCP may provide something similar. I think any Google product is always needlessly complex that only solves their own use case and probably many other companies need not blindly adopt those unless absolutely necessary.

As an immigrant who came to USA 25+ years ago and made SF bay area home since then I can say that California is not doing well. I am lucky to have a home here and surrounded by friendly neighbors and community. But as someone who came from India - I can draw parallels on many (negative) fronts between my experiences in India and where California is headed. Too much income inequality, inflation, poverty, homelessness, high cost of living, corruption, lack of civic sense and disregard about law shown by many when out in public in public spaces. I truly hope CA does not become replica of yet another "developing nation".
