      I was about to comment about the editing. Unlike all the other videos on this channel, this one has cars moving in the background. This means you can clearly identify which cuts were true edits and which ones where just added to give the impression of an over-edited clip. I always assumed that this technique was convenient for the actor because he can screw up as much as he wants but judging by this video he knows his lines very well despite the complexity

      its really very simple. you have cashflow, you have burnrate. you fire people until the burnrate is a bit bellow the cashflow. even Elon Musk can do that (but the stupid last Twitter CEO was a freaking communist, lol)
      If you don't have cashflow, then you are a startup, you increase the burnrate with more people, then you sell the company to another company, all the people are immediately fired, because you don't have cashflow, but you have the final product !

    This is absolutely how corporate tech works. On the one hand, this is great since it means that the "one guy who actually writes the code" doesn't end up taking down the whole internet due to a mis-configured bucket policy. On the other, this is how FAANG (or, rather, MAMAA) is able to lay off 10% of its workforce without batting an eye.

      yeah, recently we implemented a heuristic based customer search. it was painfully slow, and you had to click/tab out of a filter box to get the additional parameters into your query, but not before waiting for all the results for the previous search parameters.
      as a tester i reported that, first the speed is an issue, and then that even if it would run instantly, it would feel slow for some users because of the need to leave a filter box and to wait for the unfinished load. I was told, that its fine, because it works, and it will work better on our customers SSDs, then on our HDDs, so we will ship it.
      after weekend the customer made an incident, reporting exactly theese two defects :D
