Gentle reminder that most people, including competitors, are generally kind and willing to help out, at least to a reasonable extent. Don’t avoid reaching out to develop a relationship. If someone doesn’t respond, simply move on and keep pushing forward on your own.
If you work at a large company and aren’t already taking risks that regularly put your job on the line, you probably shouldn’t start your own company. Change is uncomfortable. In big corps, the people who rise tend to prioritize diplomacy and compromise over confrontational risk.

The GCP web console is unacceptably slow in Safari when navigating between VM Instances and Machine Images when using Compute Engine. Would be nice if this got some attention. @uhoelzle @ThomasOrTK I get that it works OK in Chrome but still outta be performant in Safari 18.6. 🙏
