It's only unhealthy for your career at that specific employer. Fortunately for tech workers in the Western hemisphere, you can always move between employers
For running applications in production, Alpine Linux is harmful and should be avoided. Getting a smaller container image is not worth trading mucl for glibc.
He was referring to sandboxing in terms of not polluting the installed packages/libraries on the server and not from a security perspective. But even from a security perspective, there are solutions to this problem like running containers as an unprivileged user using podman.
I think it's really easy to claim to be socially and environmentally conscious (especially nowadays with social media), but when you are faced with a scenario where your principles and values are put to the test, the decision you make reveals just how important to you those principles and values really are.
Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims in the world[1]. It is a Muslim country, but it is not governed by Sharia law, so it's not an Islamic country.
This is why GCP has no hope of ever taking significant market share from AWS. Google thinks they can treat their cloud customers like they treat users of their free services. Customer support and communication are essential.
Yet another JavaScript project reinventing the wheel and badly at that. It seems the NodeJS community suffers from NIH syndrome more than others. This is a sign of lack of seniors and leadership.
What percentage of millennials even understand Bitcoin? How many of us on HN are frequently asked about investing in cryptocurrencies by people who have no business approaching the topic.
Going serverless would increase your costs significantly. Have you seen how much AWS charges for Lambda use? Where did this myth of serverless saving you money come from?
This sounds cool, but it's needlessly complicated. Why not simply configure SSH to use multiple forms of authentication [1]: password + public key auth + 2FA (Duo Security, Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.). That's all you need to achieve a very secure state.
If there is a gross lack of diversity within your company and you routinely use "culture fit" as an excuse to turn down PoC candidates, what conclusion can be drawn about your organization?
We are extremely fortunate today to have resources that enable one to independently study the entire contents of a CS degree in the fraction of time on their own schedule. Pursuing a CS degree while actively employed in the field is a foolish waste of money.
Google is forward thinking? This is the same company that requested not only college, but highschool GPA and SAT scores from applicants and whose interview process is entirely textbook algorithm questions.
> fewer than 1 percent of start-ups end up as $1 billion companies
Not every company needs to achieve a billion dollar evaluation. This eat-the-world mentality is incredibly toxic. An an entrepreneur one should be satisfied with making tens of millions in revenue, but of course you can't stop there when VCs are involved.
Like you I would never bring a device like this into my home. The issue is they are becoming normalized and mainstream adoption is growing at an alarming rate. What happens when you can't purchase a home appliance without these "features" and it refuses to work without connecting to your wireless network and being able to phone home?
Job postings that emphasize mandatory after-hours events especially based around alcohol are incredibly off-putting to multiple groups of candidates (senior engineers with families, introverts, non-drinkers, etc.). Things like "we have a beer keg in the office", "happy hours", or "work hard play hard".
Automatic green screen background so when on a video call, the remote worker does not have to masquerade where they are. Additionally this adds privacy for remote workers working from home who dont want their colleagues to see what their "home office" looks like.
With Kubernetes and other container schedulers gaining popularity and the host OS requiring less effort to be production ready, there is much less need for configuration management tooling. I don't see a lot of appeal for another tool in this space.
DevOps is about shared responsibility between dev and ops teams. One guy with the title "DevOps Engineer" responsible for everything is doing it very wrong.
