Well, if the company is replaced due to lack of heroes, doesn’t this mean that it actually needs heroes?
The industry as a whole might not need them, and it may be bad for individual heroes (though I think it’s more nuanced than that), but it seems to me like any particular company might need them.
I'm trying to improve people's abilities to predict the future.
Predictions are a critical part of decision-making, and it's possible to improve – see, for example, Philip Tetlock's work. But that requires the right tools, which we are building: https://www.empiricast.com
My understanding is that everything is cloned – included Redis and any search indexes. I've only tried with a database though, so that's the only thing I'm certain that works.
This is great news. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
I'm not sure how relevant it is to you, but I hope you take some inspiration from https://platform.sh/ – it's the PaaS I've had the most luck with. While it isn't perfect, it's the closest thing I've found so far. Their "almost everything is in git" and instant environment cloning are fantastic features.
