just explain your pattern. what you are saying means you have a leaky chain of custody and are fine with that, but you can show why i'm wrong.

This is so nice, and very generous. I would like to be able to self host this, and, while this is absolutely not the best way for you to monetize this thing, if you put it up for some sub 100 dollar price, and I felt like I was getting a li

It isn’t, but it’s not possible to get paid like that if your work isn’t a necessary component in the work that earns the company a lucrative payday.

A lot of people, who are on their way to doing truly professional work, have this epiphany. The place you need to get to is understanding that you are being asked to ensure a problem is solved. You’re only causing a larger problem by “solvi

I agree with everything you're saying, and I think other archaeologists feel the same. My opinionated take is: I wouldn't want to use this space for the information that this tool could provide, and rather leave it as the truth. T

I love it. A bit guided of assistance can really make all the difference.

It's not absurd, and it's also not gatekeeping. Why do you want a summary of the changes? The bulk of the information in a commit is the diff itself. The information that is not contained in the diff is the author's intent, a

The value of the space is the ability to glean the commit author's thoughts, at the time they committed it. This is extremely dissimilar to the thoughts of the author. The value of what this emits is already handled by evaluating the d

Some stuff is going to be provider-specific. Let me explain why we’re not talking about an 80/20 split. There’s no reason to treat something like a route53 record, or security group rule, in the same way that you treat the creation of

Most work isn’t greenfield. AWS can be used in a different, cost effective, way. It can be used as a middle-ground capable of serving the existing business, while building towards a cloud agnostic future. The good AWS services (s3, ec2, acm

Thanks for this article. It feels like a huge problem to discuss the nuance described here. There will be people who will carelessly create unmaintainable software, and they might do it to bamboozle someone who is paying for the work that e

This is entirely predicated on the issues this person experienced. Irrespective of whether or not devops teams end up with solutions that look like this, none of them are meant to. My first experiences had to do with the ability to add new

There were more peripherals to worry about, and fewer generic drivers. It's not like people are trying to individually purchase PCI sound/ethernet/modem/graphics; they just get these components from the south bridge and

Okay, I hope so too. The article reads: Rodriguez said: “Facebook knows very well that they have no obligations under the act right now.” Your original post is full of your ideas, that do not relate to this article.

I can agree that there's more to a job than the salary, and it's totally cool to negotiate. When you make the salary ambiguous in order to make your sales pitch, you are being unreasonable.

Cyberax, I missed my opportunity to reply to your comment, but I really appreciate it, and I wanted to find a way to get this back to you. The comment in question: "Well, I was one of the engineers that made the change :) I'm not

This seems to ignore the fact that the prices are consistently low if you are tracking the lesser used instance types/regions, even when talking explicitly within AWS. Why would that change?

Why do you think this? “The whining is often just a (I don't want to say pathetic but, not socially adaptive) form of attempting social-belonging/bragging ("The movie sucked the book was better" hipsters == Look at me I

It’s not incorrect like the rest of us. It’s incorrect in a very different way. Providing detailed information on the usage of a service that has never existed is a brand new kind of incorrect that is carelessly causing the rest of us grief

“A move away from monolithic statically compiled binaries to constellations of microservices (usually bloated docker containers) is a significant part of the problem.” Untrue, in every way. Why did you say this?

Always nice to have new players in the space, but that gap isn’t even addressed here. Same old problems with configs/secrets, integration with internal/external services, and the details required by your cloud provider. This is th

I agree with you, but I wanted to add this stupid detail into the conversation: USB-C doesn’t ensure that you have any of these features. It’s just the style of connector. You can have best-of-breed USB with any connector type you want, but

I would be focused on trying to simply run your workloads on your own. It can be with EC2 or on your own physical/virtual Linux machine, but it should involve the required databases, the various components (e.g. your front & backen
