I wonder how Cargo will be regarded as in 2-5 years if it gets anywhere near the number of projects/libraries that say Python or Javascript has.

Some companies try to do this, like hired and another one that is always in HN and I forgot the name. However... they end up just being an extra step, you have to go through them to get in the hiring pipeline of other companies anyways.

Pretty much this. I honestly cannot be bothered to study or prepare to interviews on top of my existing job and life. If you just send me some test I will refuse to do it. If I have a technical interview with someone, I hope they're tr

That looks much more complicated than scp a yaml file and run a single command. Which is all you need for a lot of real production apps.

Yeah for sure, but I feel that's a software design problem and not directly related to using docker compose or not, you could have this same issue regardless of how you go about deploying it.
637.
by aprdm 5y ago
You can have a compose with multiple backend services and an nginx load balancer in it proxing back to it each one, then down/up each each backend service individually when upgrades for example..

How's it different than running things with pure docker or before docker? There were backups and no downtime deployments before docker became a thing... docker compose is already a layer above docker (but really just docker).

Totally! On their laptop being the key. I interviewed at Pivotal around ~6 years ago and the person had some customized VIM setup which was a PITA to work with. He had a very good workflow with it and I honestly looked dumb trying to achiev

I interviewed at SkyScanner around 5 years ago and they gave me some problems that I already had seen since I was interviewing like crazy. I solved them very easily and the interviewee had nothing else to say. Then her feedback to the inter

A python code base where the way it was built is that the function names contained metadata about how it executed. for example, a function name called: extract_metadata or run_procedure would be evaluated, the system would go

I also have a 2015 macbook pro (cheapest one back then) and haven't ran into any issues, will likely use until it dies off. I never gamed on it, have used heavy ides and docker without too many issues even tho docker isn't the bes

Totally. It's also ridiculous difficult to change companies since your brain becomes pretty much the context of your current organization. It's IMO harder to apply to other companies as explaining your day-to-day requires a lot of

Exactly this. I probably work around ~5-6h/day and people think I work more than 8h/day. I've found a company where I fit very well culturally and technically and can be very very impactful with minimal effort time-wise. I se

Fastmail has been really solid, I'm actually impressed! It supports multiple domains from one account, unlimited aliases, their calendar/mail app is good, their folders works really well.. I'm happy to have moved to it.

I really recommend using something like Linode for cheap throwaway, might be a bit more expensive (i.e: 5 per month), but the surprise factor disappears..

by aprdm 5y ago
Yes, I kind of agree with everything you said actually! Apart from Elixir from a cost savings on infrastructure PoV, if that's how you wanted to frame it (since the context of the HN submission is about changing languages for better pe

by aprdm 5y ago
Saying that you disagree and saying at the same time that you rewrote it in Elixir makes me think that wasn't a good use of the money. They will have problems hiring for it and it isn't even performant compared to other languages

Possibly! Care to share your view?

Ansible has a bunch of declarative modules. Writing imperative Ansible should basically never happen. My team maintains 50-80 galaxy_roles and it's super rare that we have to build any shared galaxy role on top of imperative logic.

Well I guess I beg to differ. Been creating and managing 10ks of hosts across multiple on prems datacenters and clouds for some time now.

Depends in your definition of success. If it's purely monetary and that's what you're looking for then you're likely looking for a disappointment in life. Even if/when rich. I suggest trying to find a different noti

The jump from what you mentioned in paragraph 2 to 3 is not necessarily Terraform. You can use other tools, like Ansible, that IMO have a much better framework than Terraform. I use Terraform for extremely simple stuff that is easy to destr

The salary quoted here is definitely a low salary in Montreal too for anyone with more than 2 years of experience.

If you’re looking for a book — shape up — from basecamp goes through how they develop software and it looks great ! I am giving it a try. It’s very agile but not scrum. I also agree that after a team gels together there’s no need for a lot
