I appreciate this as some newer developers I have worked with have been concerned that Googling things is something they need to grow out of. Google engineers, being somewhat revered in my Big Corp, Googling things every day would go a long

Not being first doesn't mean you're not onto something. In fact. It may mean there is a market and someone is playing there. Finding it's already being addressed may in fact be a wonderfully affirming thing. It validates the

It's quite common in cloud solution design to design for failure. One of the common assumptions that we hold to is that one region may go down. Other examples: Assume an instance of an app can go down. Assume a VM can go down. Assume a

Ordered four of these last week and planning on running them as a K8s cluster. You are correct about the power interface not being ideal. My current plan is to hook my cluster up to an old computer power supply. For those who are curious th

I wonder if Google would benefit from spinning up new products and services in another brand or company. Later, they could migrate only what they plan on supporting in the long run. The cost of deprecating products every couple months has t

Raspberrys are pretty fantastic. I have a docker swarm cluster consisting of two Pis and two ODroids[1]. What HardKernel has done is quite interesting - taking the idea further. They continue to support the same pin io. However you can get

I view it more as a gold rush. Creating the future has never been more accessible and companies are in a terrible rush to find their 'plot' and start finding nuggets. Software engineers are the people who can do the work and so de
