Turning the database inside-out with Apache Samza

Databases are global, shared, mutable state. That’s the way it has been since the 1960s, and no amount of NoSQL has changed that. However, most self-respecting developers have got rid of mutable global variables in their code long ago. So why do we tolerate databases as they are?A more promising model, used in some systems, […]

創業 CEO / 最好的員工福利，就是工作本身 | MR JAMIE ─ 創業者需要的啟發，每日新鮮供應

大家喜歡工作的內容，又喜歡一起工作的同事，邀請更多朋友來加入的意願自然很高。這時候公司只要問大家，他們認識的工程師中，誰是最優秀的，然後鼓勵他們邀請這些人來加入，自然就會有很好的成效。況且，Thomas 解釋，正在找工作的好人才，在矽谷通常有非常多的工作可以選擇，因此競爭是很激烈的。 但用這樣主動出擊的方式挖角，不但不會碰到太強烈的競爭，也會讓好人才有被肯定的感覺。所以雖然 Houzz 只有相當標準的員工認股權、簡單的員工餐廳等，沒有什麼了不起的員工福利，但工程團隊的招聘，並沒有碰到太多的問題。他甚至提出，像是 Zynga 這類要用花花綠綠的福利去吸引員工的企業，從根本上就有問題。 如果不是工作本身無趣、缺乏成就感，怎麼會需要那些花招？領導團隊沒辦法正視核心問題，從本質上去改善公司文化、工作內容，反而只是花錢包裝點綴、掩飾太平，時間拉長，人才引擎當然會出現問題。 Source: 創業 CEO / 最好的員工福利，就是工作本身 | MR JAMIE ─ 創業者需要的啟發，每日新鮮供應
