Closing the women’s health gap: A $1 trillion opportunity to improve lives and economies – a McKinsey report that highlights the gender health gap and points to the opportunity – potential for a $1 trillion economic gain with additional societal impact. One interesting point is that there are gaps and flaws throughout the value chain – drug effectiveness, therapy access, research functions, etc. This hints that there are many opportunities out there that can make a significant impact.
Slashing Data Transfer Costs in AWS by 99% – one of the costs developers often forget or dismiss when considering architecture is the cost of data transfer. The solution described in this post is elegant and demonstrates the effect of deep knowledge and understanding of the domain. Simple to trivial architectural decisions can cost so much.

3 questions that will make you a phenomenal rubber duck – I previously mentioned that debugging skills are essential, and it is important to iterate and refine them. I especially liked the 3rd question – “If your hypothesis were wrong, how could we disprove it?” as it forces one to think the other way around and see a slightly bigger picture.

Product Managing to Prevent Burnout – burnout is more common than we think and can have many causes. Moreover, different people would react differently to different cultures and would burn out or not burn out accordingly. The most important takeaway is that managing and controlling burnout is a team sport; it is not only the concern of the direct manager, but product managers can also participate in this effort. (I strongly recommend the honeycomb blog)

The “errors” that mean you’re doing it right – I was able to identify or witness almost all the errors mentioned in the post. I also think some of those errors, such as Letting someone go soon after hiring, Pivoting a strategy just after creating it, etc, could be attributed to the sunk cost fallacy. And if we want to make the opening sentence more extreme – “If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working”.
– it describes more debugging strategies than debugging tools (i.e. minimal reproduction is not a tool). One strategy I missed in this post is adding breakpoints. If I were to write this post, I would order it in an escalation order. For example, reading the error message would be in a higher place. However, it is an important post, especially for junior developers.
