What a shock, BaaS is not interesting anymore.

I can’t stand “a16z” type abbreviations. “a11y” for accessibility is ironically inaccessible unless you already know. I hate having to search these terms just to figure out what they’re talking about. “a16z” is apparently Andreessen Horowitz. How is that intuitive or accessible?

I agree with your general idea, but a16z is almost as well known as “Andreessen Horowitz”, it’s by this point their brand name.

I can validate. I’ve never heard of either one before.

A16Z’s brand is celebrating fascism, backing crypto, and forgetting to be an effective VC

Not just backing crypto, but actually taking part in crypto pump and dumps (they deny this, but that doesn’t mean anything).
In your opinion, what makes a VC effective or not ?

Rolling onto a client that uses “O11y” for observability almost gave me permanent damage.

This is the first time I’ve ever even heard of these kinds of abbreviations, what the hell even are they?

They’re shorthand for long words you don’t want to type. You keep the first and last letter and replace the rest of the word with the number of characters you removed.
Kubernetes ➡️ K8s
Observability ➡️ O11y

And I thought that “8” had something to do with “netes” because it somewhat resembles the pronunciation 🤦♂️

Wrong community, IMHO.
It makes sense if you think of the community as ‘technologybad’
Sigh.

Yeah this is my first time learning this too and k8s is something that comes up almost daily for me.
I18n is the only one that clues in for me (internationalization).
I think I’d still rather type out internationalization even if it doesn’t fit on a slide lol.
Was it a file system workaround, or character limit in some older programming language?
Man, I always found that weird but never looked it up…
I thought the same until the barbarians came @me with O11y and one of my coworkers asked where the f they got “oh eleveny” from.
I just thought 8 = netes.
My favorite is k3s. Named so that it is the same as k8s, but smaller.
I didn’t think I could hate a name shortening system this much but here we are
Yeah they should just give him some stupid nickname… like meatball Ron, space Karen… etc… etc… making fun of these jokers should become the norm.
Very true, and impossible to translate also. They’re terrible for i18n
Well you know what they say about the bank going out of business: You don’t know what you’re doing if you let the bank go out of business.
Also haven’t the fascist brainworms completely taken over at Andressen
