Nothing.. YC is more about the networking and advice opportunities that open up then the money you get

I do a bit of consulting so I use a different container per client. I use to use chrome profiles but love firefox containers for that workflow.

Run as much as I can in kubernetes

Have 2 ASG's in my kubernetes cluster

1 is for dedicated (or RI) instances that run more of stateful apps. The ones I don't want to move around a lot

The other ASG is for spot instances. I use a lambda job to replace a instance spun up with a spot instance. Those will stay up as long as it stays below the bid price. I've saved companies around 50-60% min of their ec2 bill this way.

Just moved there. Just outside of Denver. Housing in the really good school districts has doubled. Coming from the Bay area it all seems super cheap.

Salaries are almost competitive to the Bay area for some companies if you have a specialty.

So far its the best move my family has made.

Amazon did join the CNCF

The positive ones are not.

I worked for a ecommerce company and the CEO gave anyone who wrote a positive glassdoor review a $50 credit on the site.

all your outbound links are messed up tried to click on the solarpi

I agree 100%. Don't run your life around a girl. If something happens and you split you will regret that choice the rest of your life.

Go live the life you want and she might follow you.

I don't use sublime but your editor is your main tool. I don't see many general contractors pulling out Ryobi tools to do their job. Those are for the weekend DIYer. The pros invest in their tools to get their job done. $80 is really a small ask for a lifetime license for an app you spend most of your time in.

solar for residental

kubernetes running a lot of companies workloads

blockchain for things people never thought they'd use a ledger for.

Check your air filters in your heater. If they aren't clean then your AC has to work a lot harder to cool the house since air flow is blocked.

Also another good one is clean the coils on your AC. Its the same concept. If air can't flow through the coils then your AC will work a lot harder and suck up more energy.

If you live in a area where it cools down at night and don't have a lot of humidity, then look into buying a whole house fan. I live in the Denver area and it will really cool down my house quickly.

Before I had a family, I had a lot more time on my hands to play around and try new things. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

I do ops work so it was always worrying about i'm on call 24/7 since I mostly worked for startups.

Are the backups working. Is that new HA solution I rolled out working. I have this lingering problem with disk latency I can't get to the bottom. List goes on and on.

couldn't agree more.. 10 years ago I was at the Apple store in Manhattan with my wife getting an iphone. There was this guy who's job it was just to sweep the stairs going down to the store.

I told my wife.. If I could somehow make a tech salary doing what he does, I'd do it in a second. She questioned me like why? I just said what I said before. I could come home and not worry about anything.

As a teenager during the summers working for my father driving frontend loader. I sat in a AC cab and screened top soil all day. I went to work at 7am and left around 4pm. I didn't have a care in the world after 4pm.

It wasn't just because I had no bills to pay, I just didn't worry about work. I knew the pile of dirt wasn't going anywhere and the area we were digging out was going to be the same when I got back to work.

I never brought work home. It took me a good 14 years to re-learn that in tech.

One of my offices had a rule where if you have your headphones on then the only way someone could bug you is via slack.

If headphones were off then it was open game to bug the person.

I liked that rule.

I've been told that by many Vets. The genetic mixing really helps.

I'm not sure if this is true but one told me most of the golden retrievers in the US can be traced back to just three male dogs from the mid-70s. He said its the cause of a lot of their hip and cancer problems that are common in the breed.

I felt the same way 12 years ago when I was in my mid-twenties. Long story short is I ended up walking into a pet store and buying a puppy. Around 6 months later the dog started losing hair and turned out he had a mite problem and was born without an immunity system.

I ended up putting down the dog and by my gym was a normal pet store that didn't sell dogs/cats but had a dog rescue event going on. So I went there to donate what stuff I bought. I ended up talking to the founder there on why pet store dogs are so bad.

So that day I signed up to foster a dog. A few months later I was helping with events and then a group of us split from that rescue to start our own that imported dogs from the south that were surrendered up north. It changed my life doing something I felt was good.

Maybe you can try to take some of your time and donate it to some cause you might be interested in. I turned from hating work to thinking of work as a means for me to make money to help a cause I loved.

I agree, we just ended up going with someone who specialized in the area instead of dealing with Redfin agent who said it would never sell.

I love their site for searching.

I wanted redfin to work when we solf our house in the SF Bay area a few months ago.

Redfin's issue is the selling agent was located 45 minutes away and just ran random comps and said our house was 120k lower then market. She said it would never sell for what I thought it was worth. So we ended up going with a local agent who put it on market for more then we thought and it sold for 1% over asking.

You can use coreos with kops. Add something like

This is a pretty solid answer. It's really hard to land a remote job if you don't have senior level experience.

I work in the DevOps/sys admin field, so I'm use to always looking at what could go wrong. I think this is a toss up depending on the persons experience with startups. I've been in mostly small sub 20 person startups for 15 years now so I've seen almost all of it.

You have the people who are new to startups, who think its a ticket to financial freedom in 4 years when they have fully vested and the company sells for 1+ billion. Those people might be scared away.

You have the people who have been through a few startups and have worked at a failed company or a company that the investors took all the money and left the common stock holders with nothing or little to nothing. I'm in this group and that would be a breath of fresh air to hear that. During interviews, if I hear only great things and nothing is wrong then that is a red flag to me.

A lot Bay area startups have opened offices around the Boulder area. I'd look there as a starting point if I were you. There's a big tech sector just south of Denver but its mostly filled with more established type companies.

We are moving soon and just sold our house.. My wife is a stay at home mom so if yours is also, this might help you?

I thought our house was just fine. It's a 4 bedroom for a family of 4 and has 3 baths. I'm only there for long periods of time to dinner/gets kids into bed and sleep other then the weekends. My wife is there almost all the time. We got the house as a starter home and she wants stuff in it that just isn't there.

Just think of it like your desk at work, If you just have a small monitor you might be upset that you don't have a larger monitor with better resolution that can make you more efficient. That's sort of how my wife sees our current house. It works but it isn't everything she wants.

I just have to remember, she is the one in it most of the time and taking care of it.

Answer is $0

max an on the go lunch and at lunch time go out for a walk while eating? Then when you get use to it, before breakfast go out for quick brisk walk then and try to get mobile and away from the screen

I'm not sure the number but there's a lot of more professional climbers who have sponsorships that pay for their attempt on the mountain also.

Sure some save years for the chance but there's a good percentage that have sponsorships to try to summit.

as a ops person.. this is my favorite

The best thing to do is hit up everyone in your network that you are looking for consulting work and let them always know you are doing so and what your skills are.
