I have worked in cloud consulting for a little over five years. A lot of companies specifically ask that we blocked traffic from cloud providers. It’s a built in feature of AWS WAF. Ironically enough, that meant when I was working at AWS,

Let’s not pretend that the companies that Robert Half recruits for is near the same league of compensation of the companies that require leetCode. Yes I realize those are the types of jobs most developers had - and the same types of jobs

Well, I’m 51. I’ve had 10 jobs in my career including one at BigTech. I never grinded leetCode or even had a serious coding interview [1]. But from my time at BigTech I know interns I mentored and who got return offers were making more s

The last thing you want to do is game dev. They overwork you and underpay you. You pay the “passion tax”. There is a huge difference between “staff augmentation” where you are just another more disposable cog in the wheel and strategic co

I don’t have anything against Azure as a servíce. But Azure is mostly popular among “the enterprise” and government. Microsoft shops naturally tend to prefer Azure. If you want to work with startups and get out of “Big Enterprise”, Azure

And that’s true if you base your tech stack on VMWare, colo’s, GCP, Azure, etc. No one can be an expert on everything. Even if you base your expertise on Kubernetes, someone still needs to know the underlying cloud infrastructure. Kuberne
