As part of dropping Heroku for our own platform we ended up writing something equivalent in python, then Go initially to deal with packaging/distribution. Its been pretty great, but damn I would have loved this to have been in Go. Then I wouldn't even tell the developers we moved off Heroku :P

Do they have a whitelist for the owners?

personal heroku/dokku clone, which is really just a remote git with some hooks that build images and provision to docker.

haproxy in front loadbalancing and doing routing

tinc mesh for a ghetto private cloud with dirt cheap boxes

consul k/v store used for runtime configuration

Let me explain a little better, and again I am only basing this all off the small amount of data we have.

Let me give an example as I am not the best at articulating. hopefully this helps.

Lets say I hired this engineer as Senior or Team Lead. Now I want the base docker image we use for node bumped a major version. I checked the changelog for the nodes releases and knowing our codebase I think its safe.

I could ask a Junior dev to do it, but I knowing that they are lacking experience this may seem like a "big deal" when really its not.

What I want is the node version updated, validation unit tests pass, regressions tests are good. And it to be released. If there is a failure along the way, address it or sure lets chat about it.

But this Email in response to hackerrank - would make me perceive this to be someone who would respond with a complete change to our CI/CD processes, to our infrastructure, maybe to even using Node - as this sort of task is beneath him.

Sure there would be areas this person might excel at, but some days little tasks just need to get done to keep the ball moving.

Yup, this is basically what I meant - but much better articulated. Something I need to get better at

10/10 !

I would be even more hesitant to hire for a startup! can this person grow with the startup? what happens when we have 10, 20, 30+ engineers - how will they work with the team - will they second guess everything? will everything be an argument?

I'm not doubting this persons ability - I'm only responding my opinion of this person based solely on this email.

To your first point, yes exactly. The interview is as much mine as it is the candidates.

Not necessarily hiring to complete tickets as fast as possible, but some who can take a task and complete with minimal issues. I don't want to be stuck in meetings or arguing in PRs etc.

Agreed, but without knowing the context I responded on this emails face value.

I would also worry hiring a team lead/senior dev who appears to be combative from the initial screening

I was only responding specifically to a candidate responding with this email if I had asked them to do a hackerrank.

While I can understand your leap to soulless masses - that was not my intention.

You want a personalized interview, styled exactly for you ?

I would be a 'no' if i were interviewing me. You obviously can program but this makes you appear to be someone who would be difficult to work with.

This website is terrible for providing information

Which is written in python, so better give credit for that.

Wow and now python is in C so line up your credit books, we are in for a long night tonight.

Thoughts & prays for all contributors

i hired a kid to play sitar after me and the wife get up. its amazingly soothing, i couldnt imagine using something like this to relax.

i am thinking about using cockroachdb to power something like LDAP.

but the CIO said no because it has "cockroach" in the name and no one would sign off.

should i just do it anyway?

so? $49 is way too expensive for this. i can get a x86 from ebay way more cheaper than this.

who would even bother, the rpi zero is $5.

When does trusting your gut mean you don't know you are biased? Everyone is biased, get over it. If you are living with someone - yes please trust your gut, live with who you want to live with.

as per the article the move in happened quickly and they were seemingly desperate to get someone in to cover the rent.

Nice! my account came out pretty ugly :( and took nearly 5min to generate. But this could be a handy addition to deployment pipelines/PRs when following Infrastructure as Code (as well as being on AWS).

Will keep my eyes on this.

Also +1 to duo 2fa ssh

slow clap :D

Its not 24/7 (closes 1am every night)

Nyc subway is unbeatable in that regard. And I prefer 24/7 service than being able to use the wifi to book an uber ;)

Nice! I'm looking at doing something similar

https://github.com/Jamonek/Robinhood I used that a few months ago, you might need to sniff the traffic if there has been changes. it wasnt too difficult

Robinhood have an unplublished api. There are hard limits on the number of trades you can do. But i would use that

Containers are not OS configuration scripts.. they still need a host to run on. They still need networking managed.. im not sure how you figure that one out.

Chef experts likely deploy your underlying hosts, setup other required services (eg load balancers, state)

while you can provide a generic "container" that will run whatever you want and provide consistent ingress/egress points so the "chef experts" can run it without caring what it is they are running

Sounds like your consultants were not sold on docker/containers as you already supported them. They wanted to lock you into a managed service so that you keep using them.

If they really cared about containers they would have helped you continue using nomad/consul as thats a fine combination

We should start a gofundme for him, what a horrible fiance!

lol

Yup I also had similar experience, have been impressed

33.6k is still OG

someone set their DNS TTL to ∞

Once they hit 500 startups, did you _actually_ expect them to continue to pay?
