Food for thought: I care about open source and I'd say I'm the kind of engineer canonical would benefit from hiring (not to flatter myself too much) but at this point in my career I no longer look for work. People try to poach me

Depends on the size and level of detail. I'm currently on page 25 and week three of a doc. I've also drafted a quick one or two pager with summary, goals, non-goals, and a plan with links to code + libraries + docs.

Grafana Cloud is a great product but the pricing scheme really scared me away. With 10 physical servers, 10 services, 10 pods each, 100 metrics (counters, histograms, etc), and you'll be spending $728/month on Grafana Cloud. The e

I have personally never met someone, who was under the age of 20, who didn't have a solid grasp of working with other programmers remotely. With open source being the power house that it is most promising programmers growing up now are
