Have you ever had to work with a toxic person before? Those subjective attributes have a very real impact on the workplace. It takes only ONE toxic person to sink morale for an entire team. Not filtering out toxic people turns your "mo

> Another downside I disliked about this approach is that I never spoke to a hiring manager or an engineer from the company. It went from Recruiter straight to automated tests. I understand it saves the company time, but it felt very deh

You should be focused on building a market for your product. What gives you a competitive advantage? I argue that self-hosting Mattermost doesn't help accomplish that vs. paying Slack. You are right that there is a time and place to st

This is a great reply. My resume is similar. Mine's only two pages, however.

by dolni 5y ago
You resume should tell a compelling story about who you are and what you bring to the table as a prospective employee. If you are using your space smartly and it takes two pages to tell that whole story, OK. If you can reasonably trim it to

This looks cool as a learning experience and all, but... Self-hosting all your own stuff has to be the worst thing you can do as a new startup. You need to be focused on impactful work, not dealing with critical security updates to your Mat

I like the idea, but I do have a nit to pick. Anonymizing the pull request title is kinda stupid. That bit reads to me like a cheap attempt to say "look how not-racist we are." In fact, that "bias" will easily come throu

I am not condoning being unkind. You seem to miss the other half of the puzzle, where people who have suffered trauma in their lives often re-exhibit the same toxic behaviors that they learned. If a kid grows up under awful parents and says

The bar for limiting freedom of expression should be very high. The US has the 1st amendment for a reason. Hurting someone's feelings does not meet that bar. Inciting violence does. So does financial injury.

Nah, Docker still has lots of benefits. You can run a Docker image on a developer system, using docker-compose, and it could even be the exact same one running in prod. That takes a TON of variables out of the equation.

What factors are causing you at container orchestration as opposed to continuing with your current strategy?
258.
by dolni 5y ago
At my workplace we use Docker to run services, but there is no container orchestration like Kubernetes. An AMI bakes in some provisioning logic and the container image. Autoscaling does the rest. Even without orchestration, I argue containe

Precisely. And even so, the things that PHP would need to change to make it acceptable would basically make it a brand new language.

There are checks and balances in place for a reason. Remember that (at least in the US) the three branches of government are supposed to be co-equal. Both the executive and legislative branches have a ton of power in deciding how law is cre

I don't agree. That's an overly-simplified, idealistic view. Real people suffer real harms from the unintended consequences of poorly written laws. Our courts should help serve as a last line of defense against that, when appropri

That conversation puts you into the position of having to prove you're not a *ist/*phobe. At least I suspect that would be the reaction of most people. I'm not against working with people who are pro-social justice, even if I

Good question! The line is definitely not a hard one -- it's blurry. While I don't care for social justice seminars at work, those don't actually bother me to the same degree that mandatory company profile changes do (even so
