Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?

call-then-sendtx pattern for Ethereum Dapps
/*
In Ethereum, a contract can be written so that it returns a value for eth_call.
A Dapp can then check for success or error value of eth_call, before calling eth_sendTransaction,
to take advantage of eth_call effectively being a "preview" of the code flow that the transaction
will take. In traditional client-server, clients can't ask servers beforehand what's going to
happen when the client makes a call; with Dapps contracts can be written so that clients can ask
for a "preview" of what is going to happen, before any funds/ethers are actually utilized
(eth_call does not cost any ethers).
Note: it is possible that in between eth_call and when eth_sendTransaction is actually mined,
