It is in Portuguese unfortunately and I did abandon the embedded systems industry.

What is your product? You can achieve cloud independency with an RPM and an ssh connection... then you can eventually move to installing the RPM in a docker image you build if you want to deploy in a more immutable way. If you are going to

I was kind of "famous" in the embedded system community in my home country... I got a bunch of paid side projects from it, friends and job offers. I never even considered any of the job offers as I was happy with my employer and t

I would say every company that has been around the block for a long time falls somewhat under #2. Some companies have millions and millions of LoC to run their business and it takes months for someone to wrap their head around some of the s

I hope you realize not everyone running python is running web apps. There are huge companies that use python for automation and they all run from some computer grid storage (usually NFS) and are imported in the same environment as the clien

Amen brother! Hope more people discover (or re-discover) this. DjangoREST is also a very solid framework if your use case is not a website and you get all the rest of Django for free...

Can you give us a sense of scale and what issues you faced by elastic?

I think it is quite the opposite. Having worked in startups that were VC funded it seems they consider VC money free money and just spend a lot of it in infrastructure without the need to. I know for a fact our bill was around 15-20k USD pe

I disagree with you but it is pointless to argue as you very clearly believe your truth to be the universal truth. Let's leave at this and wish you the best!

I don't think I understand what you are trying to say :) Either you're saying that the real garden designers can only use Lisp as a tool or you're saying that no other popular OSS projects have been mostly developed by volunt

Err I would think the likes of C/Python/Java still being out there with jobs available in some decades are much higher than any Lisp language. In fact there are probably more Cobol jobs than Lisp jobs today. After having played wi

I think with no vision is really hard to build a good product and without a good product what exactly are you selling? I think sales is super important yes but it sort of works after having a product. It is just as important for a company s

I would actually recommend reading Steve Jobs biography. I know it seems weird but the guy launched products that changed the world. I think seeing how his brain worked with products could help a lot. I believe a big problem for getting a g

I am also more a devops/backend/systems developer and end up just using Bootstrap for everything. It looks decent enough and by now I already know how to do everything I need when I need.

Yeah it is crazy to hear some people work 60h as the norm and 80h, wtf? I've done a couple of 50-60h stints in my career for rolling out a big project globally or things like that and I was... absolutely... exhausted and drained. I cou

That was a lot of reading in-between the lines! The company I work has a lot of very eager and smart people who put 40h a week and have families. They are experts in their field of work (Image processing). I would say I have been climbing t

by aprdm 7y ago
I have never worked more than 40h a week and always climbed the ladder. Look for other companies I guess ? A good signal for me is when there are loads of people with families in the company whom have worked there for more than 5-10 years.

meanwhile I am sure other companies running an app that is comparable to yelp scale do so with much fewer engineers. Whatsapp comes to mind as an obvious example.

Lol. You would be surprised at how 99.9% of the companies work. Including a lot of departments inside Google, Amazon and Netflix. Maybe you were being sarcastic and I felt for it since you stressed it a bit too much.

by aprdm 7y ago
Yup absolutely and I do love the SRE book and adopt many practices of it. Might be my own bias towards the SRE word.
953.
by aprdm 7y ago
Even within SF. Having talked with a bunch of folks from Amazon and Netflix they're far from having most of their workflows running in containers... imagine is the same for google.
954.
by aprdm 7y ago
I think it is more because containers should be stateless and you cannot make a database stateless. We do run databases that do 100k`s ops/s in containers but we don't run them in kubernetes. We just mount the VM hard drive in it

by aprdm 7y ago
In my understanding SRE is more related to "keep the lights on and systems running", it might be just a different understanding of the nomenclature. E.g: In my current case the software teams own their ops, my team doesn't op

This is a great post but I want to say that I feel there's space for both. IMO a DevOps Engineer would sit between the sysadmin/network folks and the developers who wants to be users of a system. In my current gig we've moved

Working in 3D graphics there are lots of different constraints unfortunately and it isn't an easy solution. A lot of 3d graphics houses have to roll their own solution. This is a famous one in the cycle and a common approach-> http

I had some really bad experiences with pipenv. I don't think it is the way forward. It also seems like abandonware at the moment so I am glad there's at least work happening.

I totally agree with this. Don't forget all the bespoke systems that companies end up implementing because they either aren't aware of those other projects or they started doing it before some of those other projects existed or be
