   I agree with the parent comment, it is easiest to just play with it. If you're particularly interested in Python webapps, I've written a tutorial on how Kubernetes can help deploy a Django app in a scalable and resilient fashion:

   This sort of headline involving Linode is (unfortunately) beginning to feel extremely frequent. I am happy that I've since moved away to GCP, but this is still sad to hear.

   I tend to agree with you completely and came here to essentially say what you've said above so I won't repeat it. The only place where my opinion diverges is ansible -vvvv. The output is so horrendously verbose and yet it's s

   I feel that she’s conflating specific (though rather arbitrary) intellectual milestones with being “bright.”

   This is exciting. I need to update my Django Kubernetes tutorial ( https://harishnarayanan.org/writing/kubernetes-django/ ) with some new constructs that simplify things.

    OP here. That was the plan and I'm glad you appreciate it. :) I wanted to start from something I assumed people knew, and tried to motivate why one might want to improve on that. Only then did I introduce the new solution. A lot of tut

    Parallel explorer and OP here. :) I cited your work as additional reading because I really enjoyed watching your talk on this recently! While I'd figured out a bulk of this stuff out, there were a few things I learnt from it too.

    If you're running a vanilla Django site with no esoteric libraries with special requirements (like numpy/scipy that need compilers etc. to get installed), this is definitely the correct way to go. But if you do have non-standard r

    Again, I don't generally disagree with you. But as our team is growing at my day job, I am finding more and more that we're getting bitten by some developer's "It works on my machine" or a random npm failure at depl

    Thank you! And please let me know of ways I can improve it. I already have a couple of ideas that I've indicated in the conclusion, but more the merrier. :)

    I'm the author of the original piece. I echo exactly what you say in a giant caveat way up top in the piece. :) Most of the first half of the article beyond that point basically tries to motivate why you'd want to try this beyond

    I'm the author of this piece, and I agree with you in general. I am personally experimenting with this within the context of containers because I'm trying to construct something like Vitess[1] from first principles as an intellect

    In general (and in my opinion), this is not the best way to acquire such skills. But it is a wonderful way to spend 5–7 years in a relatively stress-free environment while you can exercise your brain, explore different avenues, and pick up

    As a PhD in spplied math, I must say I concur wholeheartedly with the author. The true value of a PhD in a quantitative field is less about specific domain knowledge, and more in the set of general problem solving skills you pick up.

    Your experience is not normal, and you did the right thing. If someone offers you stock options as part of a compensation package, they ought to give you enough information to ascertain the current and potential value of these options. The

    Yes. It indicates to employers that you have an inherent drive to learn things (i.e. beyond what is required as part of your formal education). And that is a good thing.

    I find that separating this process into two steps: 1. Finding things to read, and 2. Reading them really works for me. I spend some time most mornings trawling through my feeds, HN etc. and queue up what I want to read to my read-it-later

    This seems to have stemmed from Qualys caching an earlier certificate that has since been updated. Independently, the original problem seems to have been our usage of Xdomain (a JavaScript alternative to CORS) to support older IEs used by s
