Do the clients of WorldQL (the workers) know how to gracefully fail over when WorldQL fails?

If you could check for container signing and providence on all materials and make sure that only a single registry is being used (ex only `internal.company.com:443`) and make sure it's not possible to schedule pods with unsigned/u

This is very impressive work! Do you plan to make WorldQL highly available? It seems like if it died you'd loose the server.

I love that since Kube is a standard API we can implement preflight checks like this that work for "any" kube cluster automatically.

One of the big benefits of protos is that you have a language-agnostic schema that can evolve safely and backwards compatibly. I'd love for some team to join that with better performance as it seems like it's possible from what th

I don't know much about Sears. I've mostly worked as a Software Engineer and know other Software Engineers.

At most large companies things are organized in such a way that internal teams are your "paying users". Some internal teams at some companies even say "If you want X feature and Y support you need to request $$$ funding and N

Save up money and work at a risky pre-Series A startup. They'd kill to have an ex-FAANG employee who can design things from the ground up, lease a project to completion, and enjoy the systems they are building. Recently left a small st

I really wish we saw wider adoption of Bazel, or something Bazel-like, from the OSS space. The main benefits Bazel-like systems bring to the table, in my mind, are structuring libraries, binaries, and tests in a way a software engineer thin

I listened to some of this today and it's really great. Lots of similar learnings as has been had from the g3doc team at Google. More information available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnB8GtPuauw

I think what you're using as a positive signal is actually a negative signal. If people ask you for help and >50% of the responses aren't "here is a link to a doc/previous discussion" then you are a bus factor 1.

Sounds like an awful environment. If a CEO can't see the value in hiring good people that you don't need to micro manage and allowing them to decide if it makes sense to be in person or in office I don't think working at that

This is not a swap out DBs thing. This is a "have the ability to tweak all of the config options from a connection string with no code changes" You'd still get the correct client for your DB. You'd just not need to plan

I see you support Thrift and Buck. Would you also be interested in adding Proto and Bazel support? Being able to query the code based on the build graph (sort of) would be very cool.

Using a schema that allows you to specify a different parser for the remainder of the string would fix this. Like: sqlite:// and redis://. You could the have standards for common things like usernames, passwords, hosts,

Do you have any demos of how this library works when used in something complex? Also, do you have any ways to export the logic defined into some data structure? This would allow you to bolt on compilers to translate into a netlist or FPGA.

I wish there was a library for "every" that took a standardized connection string and mapped it to "every" DB/storage/queue/etc client. This is one of those things that should be a solved problem that we a

I'm a huge fan of assistive note pads. I wish the one I use was more stable and supported multiple files and more solvers: https://parnold-x.github.io/nasc/ Hopefully more tools like this and the OP come out.

Have you tried to reclaim that time without the commuting? Walk to a coffee shop and read there before work? I see a lot of "me time" posts about commuting but I think that this is something you can change without commuting.

I think even integration tests would be a huge improvement for most teams and software. As long as some automated checks are run before code is merged you're going to save yourself a lot of heart ache.

There's a lot of push back from engineers - especially people at lower levels of the stack - against testing infrastructure. One particularly famous example is Linux. Rather than testing before merging in code, they merge in code and t

It's a very specific niche that I fall in: experience with managing OSS, lots of build systems, CI/CD, managing reliable systems (N+1, monitoring, latency management), C++ & assembly for x86, etc. Essentially they want someone

You can do something similar to what golang does. You can define an interface and then have a `thing_x86.c` and a `thing_arm64.c` etc. If you abstract the problem this way you are very explicit about what is being linked into the binary whi

As someone who does quite a bit of C++ recently: for most uses readability is king. If you did want squeeze out the extra performance you could also do something where you store `std::variant<>` inside a struct and provide an API like

`std::string_view` is essentially something like this: struct string_view { char *data; size_t length; } It is a pointer to a subset of an existing string. It has all of the existing features of `std::string` but pass
