I really wish people would tell me what the dependencies are and NOT just ram everything into a container image so I have to reverse engineer what's required to just run the damn thing on the stuff I am ALREADY running. Just tell me wh

I do this as well, but there is a workflow problem to solve and that is: getting PRs merged when they need to be to continue working. It's not a simple problem to solve, we can't all just jump because someone finished some work af

The question is, why are you not just merging them into main as you go? It's a bit of a smell when you "need" to merge branches into branches. It shows a lack of safety and ease in deployments, which is the real problem to so

I mean, unless you work at an organisation that deals with a specific religion, I would say that they're all NSFW, as there's no reason to be using them at work, and they're bound to cause controvosy at some point. Given the

It really depends on the decision, what was done, and the overall impact. If the decision is to migrate to microservices, a year in it may be reviewed and decided that the work has been far more than anticipated, and is too much for EVERYTH

As another data point, I run a k8s cluster on Hetzner (mainly for my own experience, as I'd rather learn on my pet projects vs production), and haven't had any Hetzner related issues with it. So Hetzner is OK for the overly comple

You don't need AI if that's all you're using it for. In fact, IDEs have been doing a fine job at that for years. It feels right now, that much of the time, AI is a solution looking for a problem to solve. I find it more usefu

Or one or two devs in the F100 customers made an account using their work email so they could chuck some OSS prototype code somewhere, or test something out.

You should report sites that do that. We still enforce the GDPR, and it's illegal to force acceptance of cookies (excepting functional cookies) for any reason, including offering to remove them for money.

The kinds of messages that get sent via email or text are usually pretty unimportant. Important things tend to be sent via letter or a phone call. It's not likely to be anything critical.

The EU isn't even a continent. It's a trade/political block, making up a part of a continent. And the part of the EU pushing back is generally just the European Parliament, not the whole organisation.

Some segregation is useful. If a key I use for work never touches my personal machine, that's a good thing. If my work laptop gets stolen I don't want to have to cycle my personal key, etc. I guess the point I'm making is mor

And if you work at a place as an employee that has made a situation where you ARN'T disposable, you should either try and change that or leave. If there's a single point of failure like that, the company is being mismanaged. NOBOD

> Also, bored people are typically boring people. This is such a bad sentiment. Being bored is fine and a normal part of existance, it doesn't make a person boring. There are LOTS of reasons to get bored and we don't all need t

It's also a rare problem, so not really a reason to screw over biodiversity in general. We don't ban restaurants just because sometimes someone gets food poisoning. We just take action when a specific restaurant isn't able or

I recently moved into a new home with a lawn that seems to have been semi-recently laid. I want to add some daisy's as I think they're pretty in a lawn. I didn't think of clover though, so wanted to ask, how prolific is it? T

Coding speed really is a horrible metric. I can code really quickly, but it doesn't mean I'm doing anything productive or correct. I'd rather slower coding speed, properly written as it provides higher overall velocity. And v

I often see people making what could be very simple terraform setups into incompehensible monolithic monsters as well. I tend to preach separating things out and keeping things small. Why do you need a huge TF project to manage 15 services

Though, I have seen on more than one occasion someone promoted again and again after reaching their level of incompetance. This seems to be more driven by the incompetance of the person/people doing the promoting to cover their tracks

Number one would be: tying your deployment to the cloud providers way of doing things. ECS, CodeDeploy, heroku.... it's easy to get stuck when your ops requirements grow beyond how they do things, and really hard to set up something mo
