Can you point to some resources (discussions/blogs/papers) on these? I was under impression that the reason recent database kernels are in C++ is because the authors are more proficient in it which should change as Rust becomes more popular.

  >>> As someone working for AWS, better uptime, lower costs, and higher feature throughput. How about justifying return to office with hard numbers showing that we've fallen short on those points instead of just handwaving that "it's better"

This is the most logical argument I have read on this post. Surely forcing a decent percentage even if not majority to come to office would not improve productivity. I have seen most water cooler talks which are just gossiping and not about the aha breakthrough you stumble upon when talking to a co-worker.

It sounds incredulous but I have heard similar things about Oracle. May be a large dev team can duct tape enough so that the product is solid.

This sounds very useful. The quality of sagas would matter a lot. This is from my personal experience of trying to build a news site in my past life which cuts the clutter and focuses on facts. The problem I faced was in how do I decide which link to choose without biases. This turned off a lot of people who did not conform to that view. Even on clear topics. For instance most people agree racism is bad but there would be diverse opinion on where to draw the line and what actions constitute racism.

However there are quite a few topics where you could be objective - sports scores, election results, new releases etc.

Good luck. Hope to see it on Show HN one day.

Yes this is one way bu the salary gap is too huge and most startups when they start growing start hitting same problems. There may be handful with top class leaders who are better but from my limited experience they have been very rare or may be my network is too small.

Wish I had VP or directors like you. This is a great way to improve the team morale as well as product quality.

I guess a lot of this should be driven by leadership team. On the contrary I see leaders themselves staying late in office, scheduling late evening status update meetings. And the developers also contribute to this. They stay up late, send status updates past midnight and then in the next company all-hands they are lionized for this. No one even bothers to retrospect what inefficiencies are causing everyone to work crazy hours. And that how can someone remain productive with this.

This has been my experience as well. The places where testing was an afterthought meant the software was not testable easily. Executing multiple steps to test one feature meant QA folks kept running into one or other service issues causing delay in bug discovery. Rather than giving time to devs for fixing this, the management put more devs on test writing and were more interested in looking at dashboards.
