dberg··on Netflix Chaos Monkey Upgraded
So logging in to a server to check a logfile (assuming i dont or cant do centralized logging) is considered anti-devops ?

Edit: Sorry responded to wrong parent, sigh.

dberg··on Becoming a CTO
1> Yes there is plenty of room to innovate on implementation, but they still want input to the scope of what they are implementing.

2> Nobody is saying they should be product managers, I am just suggesting they want more direct input to the shape of the product itself (not suggesting ALL engineers either)

3> Agreed, and PMs should continue to be good at this, its a core part of their role, understanding the ecosystem

dberg··on Becoming a CTO
Fair point. I initially interpreted it as overly draconian, perhaps incorrectly.
dberg··on Becoming a CTO
making "Product" decisions is a broad topic. Who is to say a FrontEnd engineer didn't start as an amazing UX person?

I think your comment is an (IMHO incorrect) blanket statement that is impossible to apply to all engineers.

dberg··on Becoming a CTO
"If the team wants to do TDD, or pair programming, or staging servers - they get it all approved by the CTO. It’s up to him to consider the bigger impact of those changes."

As a CTO, my team knows I do not need to approve what the team wants in regards to TDD or how many environments they feel they need. We operate in a mode of "do whats best" and engineers smarter than me sure as shit dont need me to rubber stamp approval of writing unit tests. I absolutely create an environment that encourages high quality products and a robust testing process. How they accomplish that is up to them.

dberg··on Becoming a CTO
As a CTO, I disagree with your disagreement :)

Engineers dont want a "script for implementation". They want to exhibit autonomy and creativity to the product as much as everyone else, especially product managers. I am not saying they should be product managers in a vacuum, but every good CTO knows the value of ownership and autonomy of a product is extremely rewarding to engineers.

dberg··on Why building a startup is probably your most sensible career path
"That clearly sounds dismal, but it doesn’t matter – as long as you can cover your costs while you try then your upside is nearly unlimited, whilst your downside is virtually non-existent"

Um, yes except for the part about paying for food and shelter ??

Was Gitlab's live stream coincidentally yesterday ?
dberg··on Bi-Directional Replication for PostgreSQL v1.0
One solution is to cookie persist the user to the primary site and have a TTL to allow for some replication lag. Facebook does something similar here.
dberg··on Mapping the World of Music Using Machine Learning: Part 1
You should give My Favorites Radio a shot on iHeartRadio. Aggregates all the tracks you have thumbed up across all genres and throws in some new recommendations once in a while. Its basically a lean back personalized radio station just for you.

dberg··on Service Discovery: An Amazon ECS Reference Architecture
Bc iptables would run locally on each server. So you would access localhost:8000 which iptables would auto load balance to the nodes consul had. There is no central iptables server
dberg··on Service Discovery: An Amazon ECS Reference Architecture
Dns is not always a great solution if there are multiple A records. We wrote about a method for doing this with iptables and consul here.

So i assume this is similar to Ranch in Erlang ?
dberg··on GitHub is down
99% is rediculous. Thats 7 hours per month.

with the amount of money they have raised, achieving 99% uptime should not be even close to a stretch for them.

dberg··on GitHub is down
Between HipChat and Github failing constantly its become extremely disruptive to a lot of organizations. This is getting ridiculous.

Between Github and HipChat not being able to stay up, the entire SaaS business appears to be melting right in front of me. its so frustrating when these core businesses have so much prolonged downtime.
