The approach of generating the code from the existing Golang API bindings means that hopefully this project will get support for lots of resources pretty quickly. Excited about this, though you do wonder whether it'll suffer the same f

The problem is that if you're a nobody, you can say stupid things but mean well. If you're a global celebrity, when you say stupid things, there are consequences.

Nobody is getting paid $500k+ to directly build things that are net negatives to the world. You can claim that a very senior Facebook employee is contributing to a _platform_ or _product_ that is a net negative to society. But at the same t

The criteria is basically: do you have the time, people, expertise and willingness to build a custom dev platform on top of Kubernetes? If yes, Kubernetes might make sense for you, if your company is large enough that a PaaS like Heroku is

I'm sure WFH is allowed. However in companies I've worked for, it's usually expected that you're in the office most of the time, and that if you want to WFH it's either ad-hoc (package being delivered, home repairs,

The answer, as always, is that it depends. If you need to make some scribbles to describe a project, markdown will do. All of the things in this article are valid, but they're really don't apply to barebones documentation. If you

Why? These sorts of descriptions are incredibly useful for getting people to understand your value proposition. Just because you mention this doesn't mean you're going to adopt Uber or Facebook's moral code.

We've started using mdbook [1] at work for our docs. It has search, it's customizable, and if you really need HTML in places you can do that inside your markdown to get the best of both worlds. [1] https://github.com&#x

He's only 25. There's already lots more feeling and emotion in his latest Djesse project than his first album. He needs time to actually live life and have things to be emotional about before he can put them into music.

I'm also thankful that I get paid a lot to do what I love. I think I'm good at what I do, but I'm no better or more passionate than a lot of my friends in other industries (particularly the arts) whose livelihood is based far

I ran into this recently at work. I wanted to write a script that you could curl into bash to quickly set up some common tools. Firstly, I made sure that the script told you what it would do before doing it. Secondly, my instructions are tw

This is super interesting. So you had a high number of pages, but then you also had a really clearly defined and sensible sounding way of dealing with the root causes of the pages? If you're constantly fixing the things causing you to

For our organisation (mid size, varied skill level across the org) Kubernetes solves the problem of pattern drift. There is one way to do things, and when there are multiple ways, we enforce a single one. An example is databases. We offer P

I think the other key part of a senior engineers role is to ensure that product doesn't trump quality. When you have no senior engineers, what often happens is without an advocate for doing things right, product 'wins', and t

I don't really see how this is an argument against pull requests. Pull requests are useful because they allow for asynchronous and distributed code review. All you're describing is trunk based development with feature flags, and e
