In the years immediately following the dot-com meltdown, there was more tech labor than there were tech jobs. That didn’t last long. By 2005, the tech economy had bounced back on its own. After that, the emergence of mobile (a new and lucrative category of tech) plus low interest rate policy by central banks fueled demand for tech. Before the first decade of the century was out, “tech labor scarcity” became an accepted norm.

Linux is even free, so what's stopping mass adoption, if it's actually better? My response: If exercising is so healthy, why don't more people do it?

Innovation doesn’t just come from serendipity. Leaders who nurture great ideas rely on concrete mechanisms to ensure that they see the right ideas, give them breathing room to development, and connect dots throughout their organizations. In any company, the challenge with innovation is seldom the volume of ideas. The challenge lies with having ideas that are related to emerging trends, involve more than the company can do on its own, require nurturing, and are cross-functional in nature.

It’s a best practice to split your environments into separate AWS accounts. It does not cost you anything extra and you can guarantee that your development environment is completely isolated from the higher environments. With this setup, it’s also common to have a build or tooling account to be responsible for the deployment of your application. But it does bring some other challenges, for example: When you have a web application it usually has a frontend and an API that it uses.

Cycle Time is a measure of how long it takes to get a new feature in a software system from idea to running in production. In Agile circles, we try to minimize cycle time. We do this by defining and implementing very small features and minimizing delays in the development process. Although the rough notion of cycle time, and the importance of reducing it, is common, there is a lot of variations on how cycle time is measured.
