Can you talk about your interview process? e.g. types of interviews, screens vs. on-sites, distributions, etc. What are the shortcomings that keeps a candidate from an offer in the final steps, e.g. the candidate passes screening interviews

It looks like this is more like "k3s up" to bootstrap k3s, which I just learned is purportedly a lightweight Kubernetes [1]. They named it K3s because: > We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms o

It's also (marginally) useful for saving costs and time from sewing and having to purchase badges and patches for each uniform. This was pretty helpful while deployed IMO, since you'd just get new uniforms and could immediately pu

I appreciate your humility and professionalism in a discussion thread that holds a lot of criticism; suffice it to say, I should have practiced a bit more humility and a bit less "Monday morning quarterbacking" in my original post

HA seems like a poor choice as a default. I don't want to pay ~$150/month for dev and staging clusters, and I certainly don't need them to be HA. IIUC, Google/GKE and Microsoft/AKS are single-zone by default... free

No nested categories. They're all flat. Miniflux is ultra minimalist and "opinionated," which I ended up preferring to all the others. YMMV! If you're looking for a ton of features or customization, look elsewhere. It&#x

Sure. Probably would work well with name+newsletter@example.com type filters. I just like to keep them separate, I suppose. And, I just naturally prefer to consume news through RSS feeds. Every newsletter or RSS feed I read is ephemeral, di

A surprising amount of services have this. You can even turn your Gmail inbox into an (authenticated) RSS feed[1]. Small warning: it uses an outdated XML feed namespace, but most readers should handle it fine. [1]: https://mail.g

Interesting. I'm on the total opposite end... I'd rather have "email2rss" for turning all the spam/newsletters into a feed. I don't want _any_ of that content entering my email. I recommend Kill the Newsletter[

100% agree with self-hosting an RSS aggregator. It's awesome. Personally, I gave tt-rss and FreshRSS a shot, but went back to Miniflux[1]. One binary to run (written in Golang) and plugs into Postgres. Easy to set up, but I prefer Mini

Some bootcamps are certainly predatory, but I think there are often expectation mismatches from the student. I do think that bootcamps tend to attract the "wrong" types of people—those who view bootcamp enrollment as a financial t
