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.

Note that the liability is shifting back to contractors.
I don’t consider this a win for the contractor. The end client should be the one to determine status and shoulder the responsibility if it turns out to be incorrect.
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).
trhoad commented on Ask HN: Cloud certifications and job prospects. Is there a real connection? · Posted by u/thisiswrongggg
I know AWS is the most used cloud platform among the many out there. But wouldn't you be missing on really talented people that have only worked on Azure or Google Cloud for say 10 years? Or is it the expectation that any OPs engineer should know the fundamentals of all the big players?
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.
