woopwoop24··on Ask HN: Have You Left Kubernetes?
what i see as a consultant and i am with k8s since v1.2 that companies try to get from 0 to 100 and then wonder why the fail. so you are going from java 1.7 on jboss with a tightly coupled monolith to microservices on k8s with docker. All the nice things k8s can provide goes hand in hand with the ability to work together. cert provisioning, network infra, storage, db offers etc.. there is so much k8s needs to succeed and all the teams have to work hand in hand which is what the companies brutally underestimate.

i would stick no matter the company size on IAAS + $Deploymenttool (ansible or so) and docker and then get comfortable with and only then, when everything works as intended make the switch to k8s.

woopwoop24··on Ask HN: Looking for feedback on our website (freelance platform))
i would also suggest changing the name, force implies power and maybe today this is not such a good thing with a war going on and 2 founding members involved ;)

and yes speed matters. I personally would optimize for speed and then add features, nobody wants to see a spinner if he travels a lot on the page to look for applicants, at least i would not.

also i think your statement will not scale or the amunt of people you get on the site will not increase with a demand you could have "We check personality and overall technical experience"

woopwoop24··on 10x (engineer, context) pairs
i mean there are so many factors to this equation, writing code is the least of my problems. i try to focus more on enabling my teammates to avoid making bigger mistakes and growing them to be decent engineers, rather than optimizing my own work by a few percent. After all software engineering is a team effort for most of the times. What does it matter if i am 10x more productive and crank out all the solutions and code and the rest are all juniors and i have a bus factor of 1?

sometime it feels like people have to show-off or be the shining knights how save the day and want to be padded on the back constantly for that.

woopwoop24··on Ask HN: Where to Learn Kubernetes, Ansible and Terraform?
do you have a problem you want to tackle with the tech? if not i would assume you will have a hard time
woopwoop24··on What are your most used self-hosted applications?
jellyfin, plex, gitea, heimdall, vaultwarden, traefik, authelia and some usenet stuff all behind 2FA with authelia on docker
woopwoop24··on Tailscale raises $100M
i wanted to to use tailscale really bad, but since you cannot login without the given choices they provide, i am not sure any security minded person would mind using it.

i rolled my own with a simple vps, a haproxy and ansible.

woopwoop24··on Am I the only person who can’t get a job?
yeah not very useful to give advice, if you present that little information. - what is your job - what are you looking for - what salary do you want - where are you located - what are your requirements for a job - how proficient are you really in python and what are you doing with it, do you know all the things around some programming language? agile frameworks, git workflows, ci/cd, cloud foo etc...

not to be mean, but if you work like you ask, i get a feeling why

woopwoop24··on K8s Iceberg
this one really brings me joy :)
woopwoop24··on Show HN: Covid – How long did you make it?
i(early 30s male) did catch it early 20(unvaxed) and again in late nov 20 (also unvaxed), due to no available vaccine. now i am double vaxxed with pfizer. i am still recovering from long covid. - chest pain - damaged sleep (not recovering enough even after 8 or more hours) - panic sometimes, i think came from the asthma like feeling i had and not getting enough air (O2 was always more than 95%) but i woke up from it and felt like dying - hair loss in beard - eye damage (rcs in left eye) - dizzyness (had it on early 2021 could not work/drive/walk for nearly 2 weeks) - various nerve pain in legs and arms - brain fog for nearly 6 months in 2021 - nausea partly so bad i had to stop working (i freelance so not working == no money)

so to sum it up, i'd rather not catch it again, i lost so much happiness and freedom in these 2 years, i am not sure if the stress and depression lurking did some on these symptoms, but i feel sad when people just blush it off, saying it is a common cold, when it was heartbreaking for me
