Some may not be able to make that pivot/adjustment.

Massive corporations are often the only ones capable of offering geo-redundant / globe-spanning operations to fundamentally underpin the services and infrastructure we want available at that scale.

Now, those who choose to not diversify and have failover to, say, Microsoft’s cloud for this…

The dev who was leading that commit asked for clarification on something and was last seen airborne headed for an abyss.

Sadly they could only get 3 speeds into the final product as a result.

I thought the “mainstream media is failing us” movement might have had some question marks, but this truly removes them.

Wonderfully spoken.

They just need to pick their time, refine the power… they’ve yet to have their finest hour, tuning in radio ga ga (or radio blah blah, with that thing)
