LOL... my mind went straight to "Two identical UUIDs were generated for containers running in a Kubernetes cluster which powers Chittatong's infrastructure, wiping out everything in the process".

Oh, this brings back lots of fun memories comparing developing SDI apps and MDI apps in Windows.

"We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection."

Mmmm... getting flashbacks working on Java (generics just came out!) BEA WebLogic projects in Eclipse on Windows XP, configuring cruise control for our ant builds on some ancient Dell desktop in a closet.

Honestly, some things have changed, while others have stayed very similar.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

I still use Spectacle! Maybe I'll abandon it if I ever upgrade to Big Sur -- but it continues to work for me.

I love these so much. The attention to the detail. Digging in as deep as possible - but making the content accessible. Fantastic stuff. Evokes a lot of "Captain Dissillusion" vibes to me (which is a really, really good thing).

All valid concerns -- but you have to worry about bringing in other code in your supply chain in almost any language, unless you are always doing everything from scratch!

Thank goodness cargo audit (for https://crates.io/crates/cargo-audit) in any case.

Nice!

I was thinking something similar. The FAANG interview has been optimized to punish candidates with actual experience in these problems in favor of those that can solve leetcode problems and regurgitate design architectures from youtube. This filters out a lot of engineers with grit that can actually work through tough real world (IT) problems.

> python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt

... bless my `zsh` shell history for these incantations. I don't think I have any hope of remembering it -- probably because of all the old virtualenv incantations!

Kind of agree with pipenv though. It's painfully slow, but it abstracts away having to worry about various requirements files (eg: dev vs prod) and the .lock keeps things consistent.

I have to throw a sledgehammer at the 'T' key on my 2018 Macbook Pro for it to work because of this forsaken butterfly keyboard.

It's not _that_ verbose -- the trade off in clarity is pretty stark IMO.

In practice many people move between languages frequently daily. This syntax and semantics it provides are fairly different from that of popular languages.

Genuinely interested -- why would I choose this over running Terraform as part of CI/CD?

Type inference with `var` as well; which was necessary for LINQ anyway IIRC.

Nuclear oil? Make it so!

Nomad makes things interesting...

Where is the Pitzman's??

Hey! So did I! I had hard that one of the members had become sick or something along those lines and figured they were pivoting to an NPO!

Please take a seat and let the joys of k8s networking overwhelm your senses:

And yes... Kubernetes network configuration is on a whole different level from docker networking.

Speaking from experience, getting absorbed as a small nimble company into a behemoth is akin to slowly boiling a frog alive. Things usually start out as business as usual for quite a while, at least for engineering; other departments are heavily impacted immediately. Then... the beuracracy creeps and grows and soon you have some corporate IT nonsense on your machine that blocks DNS lookups to github.com so you don't "leak intellectual property" and now you can't build your software any more and your manager is a plant.

Not really. But with tools like CertBot and ACME Terraform Providers, (or just a periodic cronjob), it's not too difficult to keep your certs up to date. (just don't spam their prod provisioning servers).

Not like this... not like this!

loopback + gRPC

Rust is pretty darn close. Compiler definitely not as fast, but error messages are much better. Given the choice between rust and go, I have chosen rust; but could just as easily have gone the other way!

hmm... maybe an extra 0.50c/hr from tip outs. But was kind of random; and the whole tip-out structure was pretty unfair to front-of-house that had slow nights.

This sounds like my hours at a restaraunt while doing my BSc. I have no idea how I made it... but it was worth it, becase I was making $7/hr...

I used to love excercise -- but a decade of power-lifting at the gym and going hard from 25-36 has destroyed my back/shoulders/hips... everything. Have been enjoying the longest streak of sciatica-free pain for the last 8 months since gyms have been locked down due to COVID. Still get out and walk lots, but I really wish I had been far more moderate with excercise when I was younger.
