Status quo

 How come in developed societies there is still poverty and inequality and at the same time there are so many initiatives to save other countries from it?

It is really easy to be angry with the politicians who want to chase their ratings by helping other nations. But when your own nation suffers, how can you justify it?

One of the reason for that is the status quo. There is no such concept about the status quo where things are fundamentally broken.

It is easy for a small effort to make significant progress. But this is the establishment trap. In this trap fall many big corporations. They have built so many defences preventing them from changing, that it is far easier for their employees to create a new company and do the change, compare in their current one.

Do you want your country, company or organization to be successful? Create an environment where the status quo can be challenged and changed for the better!

Only then people will actually start contributing to the change, but until this happens, there will be always the big barrier built by the status quo.

Where is the performance and load testing

I am reading the book “That will never work” by the founder of Netflix. From a technical point of view, something that really intrigues me is their launch process.

This result in a lot of guess work and a huge stress on the engineering team during the launch day. On the positive end, they did have stage and prod environment, which is a best practice approach. Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
