Doing Big Things for Small Dollars with Cloudflare Workers and Azure Functions
As time has gone by, one of the things I've enjoyed the most in running Have I Been Pwned [https://haveibeenpwned.com/] (HIBP) is seeing how far I could make the dollars stretch. How big can it go whilst at the same time, running it on a shoestring? I keep

How I Got Pwned by My Cloud Costs
How I Got Pwned by My Cloud Costs
I have been, and still remain, a massive proponent of "the cloud". I built Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) as a cloud-first service that took advantage of modern cloud paradigms such as Azure Table Storage to massively drive down costs at crazy levels of performance I never could have achieved

Why (Enterprise) Software Is Bloated · The mailbox.my Blog

Feature-Less Software
Feature-Less Software
Most software is feature-ful: built from an amalgamation of individual features, which are usually atomic ways to do something specific, arranged in a singular interface that has to work for every user of that piece of software. Each feature is usually built with a small number of end-to-end user experiences in mind (often in the form of "user stories"). Each feature has to live somewhere in the UI; sometimes they're put in unexpected or awkward places, and every so often the whole UI gets shuffled up in a redesign.

Productivity in the age of hypergrowth.
There are few things more exciting than being at a company during hypergrowth, but it’s easy to let hypergrowth get away from you, and to end up reacting instead of planning. It’s hard to steer when you’re rebuilding a plane mid-flight, but you can always nudge it in the right direction.

Ships Built on the Great Flood — Dark Star
Implicit in the name ‘Web3’ is the expectation of replacement. In technology, versions are successors. When the new model comes out, we upgrade and the older one is replaced and forgotten.

Starting Up and Shutting Down, Quickly
Starting Up and Shutting Down, Quickly
There is no shortage of stories about tech founders achieving face-melting wealth from startup success. Bless their hearts. On the other side are stories with unhappy endings of founders sacrificing everything for the sake of their startup. I hate those stories. This story lies smack-dab in the middle. There is zero money made and minimal money lost. This is a story of how I had an idea that I was excited about, pursued it for 6 months, and then decided to pull the plug and get a job.
