In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.
NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk.
“When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.”
The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children.
Don’t ever forget.

RTO Mandates: Hard Truths for Leaders
After Amazon imposed a strict return-to-office policy that takes effect in January 2025, other companies followed suit.

This is somehow not an understatement. I'm so stoked to see this launch! A brand new purpose-built database that truly delivers on what it promises: simple unlimited scalability of NoSQL, global strong consistency (Atomic Clocks > CAP Theorem), but with PostgreSQL compatibility. 🤯
IT'S HERE! Amazon Aurora Distributed SQL (DSQL). It's DynamoDB and Postgres merged into a truly serverless relational database.
