Out of curiosity, with COVID I imagine people are WFH more and there's a tendency for that to continue. Did you think about buying a desktop instead? Usually is much better value for the money and Linux is likely to run without issues

It really depends on what you’re optimizing for. If it’s money and FIRE, sure I guess.

The K8s docs offer ways of running on-prems, you can do it with nginx ingress daemonset + DNS pointing to the IP (or CNAME) of your workers. It's all covered quite well here: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx&#

That has also been my experience. Truth is, there are many good developers out there. Maybe they can't be bothered to practice for leetcode (and why should you do it if you do not have 100k applicants per open role?). In ~4h total time

I'm excited about the things I can build with software, not so much about software itself. All the problems we can solve with OSS tools.. is truly amazing! If a new database comes and is better than postgres, I might switch to it in a

We do adhoc pair programming when mentoring a junior or going through a tough problem together. It probably sums up to 2-4h per month. I wouldn't want to have it be obligatory or mandated. We use it as a tool when we feel it's use

Because it wasn't mentioned yet, Dropbox was quite magical as an end user tool. You use your computer normally with folders and everything is sync'd to other computers. Unfortunately dropbox the company chose to grow into everythi

Ansible licensing? I must be missing something! Do you mean Ansible Tower? Ansible is free and OSS. It has AWX which is the Tower equivalent but free. Yes. Ansible is a framework with plugins. Just like Django or Ruby on Rails.

I think you misunderstand how Ansible is supposed to work. You can put in the work (much less than ~ 6 months, I'm available for freelancing!) and have it working. By then you will be able to run your command :-) You will also be able

In the case of bricking, a strategy I've seen is have two partitions in your flash (I am imagining your device has a flash?) then a watchdog can verify the health your deployment, in case your deployment is unhealth it can boot from th

Ansible can also run in pull-mode, just like Puppet. Is there anything that hasn't scaled well that you could share?

I've used Ansible to manage thousands of baremetal servers, you do have to build some stuff yourself but it mostly just works. The Ansible framework for gathering facts is pretty neat, it has a framework to do X or Y depending on facts

> SF a condo might be 1M, but getting paid 250k+ for a job is fairly common. If you're in tech of course. SF and Toronto have many other professionals living in. How's the median salaries comparing?

Kong works pretty well in their OSS version! You can start paying and get more features once you're used to it.

I would try to focus on really meeting them, have your 1:1s, ask them what the issues are with the product in their opinion, where they would focus efforts in the product, how they feel at the job, what are their aspirations and etc. After
