yup, its really not that hard to break, but to break without the tool noticing is harder. they usually work in kernel extensions or use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/endpointsecurity - which gives them pret

it would generally be for environments where the browser is locked down as well, or has a special extension installed for "security". In a lot of those cases the shell is recorded and send to a central tool, but the webview would

> Code reviews kill velocity Yes, they kill your velocity. However, the velocity of a team can be massively increased by shipping small things a lot more often. Stable branches that sit around for weeks are the real velocity killer, an

apparently? JEDI and Wild and Stormy were two programs just from the DoD and NSA that were 20 billion USD. AWS, Azure, Oracle, SUSE (via Rancher) and I am sure GCP all have confidential & classified (C/S/TS) clouds, as well as

If humans can't scale to review, how are they scaling to code? Humans how code should review, or the whole point of code review is pointless, and everyone should just push to HEAD and revert on failure

I was only there for a year or two, but it was a great place to work, and I 100% agree on the upstream contributors, but the main thing I will remember is how much people cared. In some cases, waaayyy too much about little things, but a lot

Yeah, DevOps was a culture not a job title, and then we let us software engineers in who just want to throw something into prod and go home on friday night, so they decided it was a task, and the lowest importance thing possible, but simult

Yeah, that doesn't really answer the question at all... Do you just have a pile of cloudformation on your desktop? point and click? tf? And then none of the actual questions like > How do you handle application lifecycle concerns li

Yup, and it has the advantage of having a easily backed up state store to represent the actions of the GUI. I always liked the octant UI autogeneration for CRDs and the way it just parsed things correctly from the beginning, if they had an

Thats great if that works for you, and for a lot people and teams. You have just shifted the complexity of networking, storage, firewalling, IP management, L7 proxying to AWS, but hey, you do have click ops there. > DevOps went from some

Yeah, for a lot of companies, this is way overkill. Thats fine, don't use it! In the places I have seen use it when it is actually needed, the controller makes a lot of work for teams disappear. It exists, because thats how K8S itself

it may be, especially if the ISP in question just does direct peering with you, your unit cost can drop to ~ $0/MB, and you stop paying Cogent/Verizion/HE unit cost for facilitating the connection from you to the ISP. Works f

Basically all of them? Even the DOD Iron bank / repo1 has non CAC modes behind an auth provider. They have forced 2FA on from what I can see now though

there is pretty low overhead if you are opinionated - this is very similar to firecracker (AWS) tooling, so cut down hypervisor with ~ 0 devices, and a cut down guest OS means pretty quick boot times

I mean, just because someone is well paid doesn't mean they deserve to have money taken from them? Every company has this as standard, but a lot have waived it for redundancies, so let's not let stripe off the hook.

In Ireland there is quite a few companies that have waived this type of clause when they are doing redundancies. Let's not say the company didn't have a choice

I would say definitely - the OP did fail to manage up properly. I think it is less of a part of the role for a senior engineer - Principal and over it is pretty much a core of your role - but it is something you should be doing. The groundw

Sounds like the manager was in over their head. Engineering team will always have items that are very hard to estimate without doing background work. A good manager would have said "what do we need to do to figure out times?" and
