Curious to see Josef answer this one. Sovol has been flatout copying Prusa part for part for a long time now. Qidi seems to be doing the same with Bambu. Time will tell, but their oss contributions are not at the same level.

Hey, that's a very mature perspective. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I remember those days. I don't want to go back there, and I agree that we need to pursue balance in managing things versus the actual work. It's just that we all

Omg, that does bring a different perspective. I've heard of the dreaded broom cupboard and you're right, I don't want to go near it.

Good insight. I am into therapy and have been for a while. I don't intend to stop, because I see the positive impact it had in the other areas of my life. Perhaps it's time to address the work thing; it's something that didn&

Good advice, I thought I would do exactly that, and ended up at a startup. Looks like they are not trying to achieve super-scale, and that's good. Perhaps we're mired in the old ways of thinking, where we over-optimise for everyth

Bambu leaped by 5 months at most. Everyone has high speed options now, with Prusa being notably last to ship. Speed isn't the only important factor, don't feed the Boat race.

Interesting takes on Linux and ipads. My 2-year old is interested in typing with colours. I found that the iPad is better in many ways: its size is perfect, the 1st gen keyboard is light and thin, and the touchscreen is a boon. But I'm

Um, k8s was built for hundreds of clusters. I doubt it's 0 adoption for 100+ clusters, we have hundreds across AWS and Azure. I've read of smaller companies building their own PaaS over K8s, which is in fact how Kubernetes makes s

I used to do consulting calls on Clarity.fm. People looked me up and we had 1-2 hour calls on high-level stuff, but I feel that the more implementation-heavy discussions never really helped anyone. If you want, feel free to reach out via my

This comment is exceptional. Well put. I'm baffled by the lack of replies. It's probably because you made such a good case, that there's nothing to add. I've played poker and Roulette and Monopoly a lot when I was a kid.

The crux of the issue is scaling. Devops is, for the most part, automation. You could never run 500 nodes across 10 geos and 2 clouds by hand. What works for 100 http reqs/s cannot work for 100k. Kubernetes is a different beast. Most p

Is Datadog worth it? I thought it was too expensive, although they do have a lot of features.

Yup, the colors are jarring. The contrast is very poor. My eyes hurt! I guess the UI isn't that bad, but the blue boxes with white text need to be replaced.

This is super awesome! I soo need this. Drafting with a structure is a part I often skip when trying to write something, which is why writing has become quite hard. I should stop doing it. But your idea is great, looking forward to seeing i

I'm actually trying to make this switch as well, for development services. I see a lot of value in putting a price tag on deliverables. Do you mind if I reach out over email to ask for some advice on making the switch?

This is a remarkable point you're making. Everything is relative to one's own reality. Thanks for the comparison with runners, I will use it, it's a telling example of what recovery means. I'm a programmer, and I don&#x2

There would be no way of telling - someone might've just found your cc data some other way - but yeah, knowing that it's out there is scary. I'm still checking my balance every day.

Hotels will still ask you for your credit card, most (if not all) payments on Booking.com reservations are done upon arrival, and not online. So, honestly, Booking asking for your card details is completely useless. Hotels might as well sho

One more thing: they are sharing my personal data without my consent - in this regard, it is very different than me providing my card data over the phone.

Thanks for the details, indeed I'm finding out that it makes some sense from their perspective. Still, there's no notice of Booking.com sharing your data. The fact that hotels print it out and leave it at the reception is again an

Hi! I feel you, bailing out at this point would not be great. This stood out for me: "This attitude, day in, day out." from everyone on the team. This sounds great, it means that you have built a culture that sticks. Also, it mean
