If we go back to the architectural foundations upon which Linux was built, a lot of it was done at Bell Labs when Unix was being developed (e.g. piping).
Hard to imagine the impact of contributions of folks like Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie that drives all our tech.

Nicely done Gergely. I think its imperative these critical cloud/infra providers publish postmortem reports as part of their service to clients.

Slack shouldn't boast about taking the high-road when competing with rivals. They did a deal with Atlassian to acquire HipChat and killed it immediately.

I think so. Likely that git was heavily influenced by BitKeeper that was used for Linux kernel dev before losing the license for some reason

Let's not forget that the core capability of GitHub is built on 'git', a free and open source tool. Sc considerable to credit should go to the git creators including Linus Torvalds.

Excessive greed usually trumps good judgement, let alone intelligence, morality, principles, values, etc.

Any specific reasons why those hiring managers feel unhappy about ex-Googlers? Is it possibly because of -
1) cultural/organisational misfits or attitude issues?
2) paying too much attention to the 'ex-Google' label and not evaluating the candidate properly?

This reminds me when a lot of software engineers called themselves "web developers". And so was this guy ....

This is the first Neil Diamond record I listened to. I was 11 years old. I borrowed it from my neighbour and was immediately hooked on "Both Sides Now". I have been a Neil Diamond fan since. The soundtrack of my life wouldn't be complete without your amazing and uplifting music Neil. So, thank you.

Indeed and well said. I too believe that if we live life purposefully, and purpose-driven, then you'd always be motivated and happy, no matter what the world around you churns out.
