Disagree. A ticket should be created for any change, no matter how small. It takes seconds to write a title, body and hit submit. I've seen those small ad-hoc changes cause havoc because someone forgot to escape a single quote or didn&

You can! At least with GitLab. Our pipelines are written in Python, and generate YAML that kick off child-pipelines. It's fairly trivial and works really well. Having for-loops and building an object based on functions making things so

Nah, Ibuprofen definitely affects the kidneys. It's on my mental list of medications never to try again. It always leaves me writhing in pain (thought it was my lower back that was on fire, turns out it was my kidneys).

Could not disagree more. For entertainment purposes, I've installed neovim with `brew install neovim`. Opened a small project with `nvim ~/projects/whatever`, and am presented with a screen full of errors ( https://

When job hunting, I'll skip those companies that require me to type out my resume. That's why I wrote the resume in the first place. Similar feelings towards those that want it in Microsoft Word format. Companies have their own fi

Am I sure? No, haha. Maybe I don't understand stove terminology. I thought induction were the metal coils that turn red. Maybe induction is different than a regular electric?

Disagree. The coils on an induction take way longer to heat up than gas, I've gone through that frustration. How can you beat instant fire? The top of it was always scratched which ruined the kitchen aesthetic. Also, our gas range save

Criminals use dollars, not crypto. You would not want to use a technology whose main selling point is a permanent, public ledger of all transactions.

I hate PDF's with a passion. Not once have I ever wanted to use one. All the pinching and zooming, such a waste of time. I'm giving this a shot next time I need one, the whole scanner thing needs to go. Are we stuck in the 90&#x27

You beat me to it, was going to say the same. It's always a few bad actors that try and hammer our servers, gets annoying real fast. I'd honestly block them and move on, I don't have time to investigate every single request.

Yes! Was going to say the same. Kubernetes is far easier to learn than some random bespoke setup. After reading the article, it just sounds like they reinvented the wheel but made it AWS specific for some reason. Was brought on as a consult

It's such a confusing slogan (probably on purpose, like most things political). I thought it meant to abolish the police. Even a quick search defines it as "prevent from continuing to receive funds". If folks intend it to mea

I've gotten into the habit of manually creating a backup of the state file: # to view the state file $ aws s3 cp --quiet s3://terraform/production/terraform.tfstate /dev/stdout # to backup the state file $

CloudFormation is too limited. I imagine most companies use much more than AWS. Off the top of my head, we use Cloudflare, PagerDuty, GitLab, etc all of which have Terraform providers. What happens when you have to use something outside of

by heydonovan 5y ago
I'll chime in. When I first used Terraform, it was described as this tool that would create resources in a cloud agnostic way. That's still possible, but not the main focal point. Terraform just takes any API (called terraform pro

This is scary to read, as I've been there. All my friends know not to give me Tylenol. I think on two occasions now I had slight pain and took maybe two or three extra strength Tylenol, and was found on the floor shivering, sweating, w

I actually don't use Twitter much because of this. I'll lurk for sure, but I'm more active on Snapchat where I know all my thoughts and photos will be gone. You ever see those folks get fired because of what they said years a

It took forever, but I finally made the switch a month or two ago. Firefox Quantum had promised to fix performance issues on the MacBook Pro, but tons of users (myself included) were complaining of CPU or RAM spiking, making it unusable. I&

It blows my mind that someone that makes more money than me, pays less taxes than me. Why? Well, I know why, but why is it like this? I don't care if my neighbor has more money than me, I care if the rules are the same. We read that th

From my experience, the hardcore Unix folks should stick to jobs that highlights that type of knowledge. If you join an AWS shop, you're never going to dig into low level things like the proc filesystem, and the arcane knowledge of kno

You share the company's wealth by offering stock as part of compensation. This works well for the high earning tech employees, who can pay their bills with their first 100k and save the rest or invest it. It doesn't work as well f

You also can't bail yourself out. If taken in, you can't just hand them a credit card, and be done. You have to have someone else pay for your bail, assuming you can convince someone to do so. Forgot every phone number because it&

Plea bargaining makes innocent people admit to things they didn't do. Given the choice to plead guilty and receive 30 days in jail vs taking a chance in court at the risk of 3 years in jail, which would you take? Not to mention the ins

As someone who has come from poverty, it still blows my mind that folks who make more than $70k struggle at all. A few of the things you mentioned are strictly luxuries. College, pets, new cars, vacations are all put on the back burner unti

Completely agree! I'd love to hop on a bus and watch Netflix on my phone while someone else drives me downtown to work, but it's 3x as slow. It takes me about 25 minutes to drive myself, or 60-70 minutes by bus. That and a lot of

Hah! Probably. I'd rather learn about distributed systems, the idiosyncrasies of bash, how file systems work, dive into how http/2 & ipv6 will solve some of our problems, etc. Absolutely love fixing bugs in code though, but th
