You wouldn’t but in any decent sized organization you will have to. If it is an organization that needs to exist there will be some common set of critical data.

In my experience, isolated (repeated) data storage paradigm is even more common at large organizations. They share data via services, ETLs, event buses, etc.

Nice. Is it the third time this year that we have good news from Okta? I don't know why we are still using it. What other options are out there?
webo · 2 years ago
On one hand, the market seems to react to these appropriately. On another hand, the market has a short-term memory and prices go back up.

It's unfortunate Auth0 was acquired by them. Have used it from the beginning and it used to be a great product before the Okta acq. Now it's just constant sales emails, expensive pricing, not much new feature launches, most features are very enterprise focused, bunch of bugs, frequent outages.

Go use Microsoft Teams for awhile and then tell me "Slack is quite crap."

I'm stuck using Teams right now and it is an abysmal experience. There are definitely complaints to have about Slack, but it can be miles worse.

Just today I was looking for a prior conversation to document it for the future. I selected a portion of the conversation so that I could paste it into another tool I use for documenting. I selected the text once and it deselected a good chunk of it. Repeat. Okay, clearly not working well. I had to copy and paste 5 times to get ~15 lines of text because if you scrolled at all it somehow deselected some portion of the text.

I mean, honestly, what tool doesn't even let you easily copy the conversation? Teams is that tool. That's just one of the many issues I have run into today.

Somebody described Slack vs Teams this way:

- Slack is so easy and fun to use that we use it for things we shouldn't be (fun channels, fun integrations). It creates too much noise and hard to extract signal. It ends up being distracting past 100+ people company.

- Teams is so bad that people try not to use it. It forces you to use it minimally because everything is terrible. It actually ends up being more productive than Slack.

How did you go from 9 to working age without getting residency in the US or another country?
webo · 3 years ago
US doesn’t give out a permanent residency based on how long you lived in the country. There’s only a few common paths to immigration: employment sponsored (2-20 years), marriage based (1-3 years), other family based (2-20 years), investor based (1-3 years). Student or tourist years don’t matter.

FB, IG and now YouTube are becoming indistinguishable from TikTok, thanks to the former all copy-catting and heavily promoting video "shorts".

+Snapchat. Twitter also is experimenting (experimented?) with endless video scrolling.

Somewhat unrelated, but the other day I was trying to see which of my friends still live in the city I used to live in, as I was about to visit.

I could not find a way to filter friends by current city. Seems like such an obvious feature meant for a side supposedly about connecting you with friends. Guess it wouldn’t move the right KPIs.

webo · 3 years ago
This seems obvious to the younger generation but “my friends who live in X” works just fine on Facebook. I know the older (my) generation is used to more filters but google/fb/ig/tt handle context-free queries fine by default.
