It goes back to 1886 [1]. Ditching corporate personhood just makes the law convoluted for no gain. (Oh, you forgot to say corporations in your murder or fraud statute? Oh no!)
I jumped from a small startup to a larger company in 2021 because I was getting bored with the work after a few years and felt that I had stopped growing. I needed a new challenge, and I have some goals that I recognized moving to a larger company would help me grow to achieve. I also wanted to be paid more because the amount of time and work I put in the compensation wasn't competitive. At the much larger company there are many learning programs available to me, stock with value, and more compensation.
I did enjoy wearing many hats and carrying a lot of responsibility for a while, but the pay wasn't worth the stress. I'd like to revisit working at a startup again some day, maybe after I've reached more of my professional goals and bring more value to a company than just code.
That's the opposite direction I'm trying to head. I'm at a huge company (relatively, I guess - 300+ ppl, got acquired by a several-thousand ppl company) and I'm eyeing a startup. I hate how corporate and over-policied everything has become.
"The GitHub CLI team is focused solely on building out the new tool, gh. We aren’t shutting down hub or doing anything to change it. It’s an open source project and will continue to exist as long as it’s maintained and keeps receiving contributions."
"hub is a project whose maintainer also happens to be a GitHub employee. He chooses to maintain hub in his spare time, as many of our employees do with open source projects."
My experience at FANMAG has been that "spare time" is the scarcest of all resources.
I first got into coding at 15 after chatting with the admin of an MMORPG private server I played on often over IRC on QuakeNet. Eventually I discovered that there was more than QuakeNet, and a group of moderators from forum network I followed had an IRC server. There I made a couple of friends and started learning PHP, getting into building my own websites.
I enjoyed it a lot, and I decided that as I got older I'd start my own company building apps! It grew from there, getting my first job locally and a couple of years later joined a startup.
I'm curious about this too. If your business has high risk than raising your fees for select people sounds like discrimination. Raising them for your whole platform could really hurt your business
Did you continue to get DDoS after moving to AWS? I figure that AWS would take similar steps if you are not using Shield or one of their other products that would help mitigation.
There are two levels of AWS Shield, "Standard" and "Advanced". You are correct that all instances receive "Standard" protection from Shield by default.
