I can't take this article seriously when it refers to Next but then calls it Nest 15 times.

The frontend tooling debacle has got to the point where I'm not only leaving frontend development, but tech entirely. To not have to think about this endless nonsense anymore is such a massive weight off my shoulders.

If you open the image modals, and then click next, I see a blurred screen and cannot progress forward/back.

react-dom.production.min.js:209 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'indexOf') at _l.render (ModalImage.tsx:79:21)

There is no risk if you're genuinely running a small business.

If you're a permalancer, coining a freelance rate whilst paying very little tax (no PAYE), then you _should_ be caught out. You _should_ have the liability.

Probably. The people who use professional quality studio microphones to send heavily compressed audio over Microsoft Teams also confuse me greatly.

I think it can only help. Employability aside, you might even enjoy doing them! The AWS certs aren't to be sniffed at, even if your experience after completing it is only theoretical (better than nothing).

I would say the skills are largely transferrable as the product offerings are analogous in many cases.

The idea that Fortune 500 CEO's are cold-emailing companies to ask about assistance in re-platforming VM's is plainly ridiculous.

Leadership taking a strategic decision to shop around for options following the VMWare price increase isn't so crazy. In fact, I'd say it's expected.

I must be stupid because I understood very little of this. The cynic in me says it sounds a lot like pseudo-intellectual-babble, but maybe I'm wrong.

I can pick out so many parts that seem to be an extremely odd take on things, but this one stood out:

> the total time spent communicating will grow quadratically as the work capacity of the organization grows linearly.

The assumption being that everybody needs to speak to everybody else as the organisation grows, which is a spectacularly daft assumption.

£500 per year, Bupa, "comprehensive" cover (basically everything paid for)

Contracted for a few years. Almost zero expenses (a new laptop, an accountant, some PL insurance).

Most (all) the contractors I know can bill £500 per day outside IR35 pretty much indefinitely.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it's easy to say money isn't everything when you're already earning £120k/$140k pa.

This isn't true. Many successful, profitable businesses were started by just surveying the landscape and being better/different to something pre-existing.

At least I know within 3 seconds that I can't afford to apply, rather than investing hours to realise I've wasted my time.

Surprisingly low salaries for a major bank. £35k for a London-based SRE?

> So we share your jobs on our site. A candidate applies. You interview them and decide to hire them. You notify us you hired them. We send you an invoice. You pay us a fee.

I'm absolutely stunned that this works.

> For one thing, our contract imposes a late fee for failing to notify us of a successful hire. And the fee increases every month that they don't tell us. This is a pretty good deterrent.

Is it? It sounds like a pretty good deterrent to being honest...!

Anyway, I can't argue with the figures, if true.

Would be great to have a single table that shows supported services vs. tiers. At the moment I have to scroll through 8,000 services AND their features to try and decipher if I'll need a paid plan right from the start.

> it means that everyone puts in ideas and the person or persons in charge only (gently) nix the ideas that don’t fit with their vision

This. Architects have to have a really quite rare blend of skills: superbly diplomatic yet inclusive, and ideally in it for the long-haul.

> "To stay relevant in today’s fast-moving world, architects must focus less on making the most important architectural decisions, and instead focus on building an environment where everyone makes better decisions."

They should be doing both.
