In my opinion, the people who constantly bring up the point you are responding to know full well. Read the rest of the comments here: It's repeated over and over. "Why do we care about whales if we don't care about cows?&quot

I like to take recordings of my thoughts on my cellphone similar to Dale Cooper. Unfortunately, I do not have a Diane on the other end to translate my thoughts to text, I have to do that myself. I've been looking into things like mozil

I have smoked weed since I was 16. Back then, I was just rebelling. Also weed made me feel good. I took a break from weed from 24 - 30, doing it EXTREMELY occasionally. Recently I moved to Oregon and got a vape pen, and I learned something.

People use react because: 1. It is designed to be testable. It makes testing the components much easier than testing jQuery soup. 2. It has an opinionated way for developing javascript applications 3. Will validate input types passed to con

People do have different metabolisms. But, the "genetically obese" thing is not true. That does not mean we should put the blame 100% on these people, however. I encourage you to have empathy for these people. Because what it take

As a "devops engineer" cough sysadmin cough , configuration management is still a freaking nightmare. I write too much YAML, I do not know why everyone all at once decided they were done building abstractions and instead wanted

I have used pipenv, virtualenv, pip, poetry, xyz. I still have consistent problems with package versions and the like. I like the library `invoke` for scripting A LOT, I just prefer to write my larger software in other languages.

I will stick up for this person. I agree with all of the points listed here. But especially: Python version management and installation sucks. A while ago I had a broken python ship with my Ubuntu desktop. Pip decided they were going to dep

This was so dumb, such bad optics for Google, who up until this came out I was mostly ambivalent about. Might have even considered working for them.

I grew up in a town of 2,000 in rural Illinois. My parents ran a business, until it shut down of course. A lot of people have this idyllic vision of small town life. Everybody knows everybody, you can let your kids walk home from school, ha

Completely disgusted by a lot of these comments. It is outrageous. It is unfair. People citing the "tax law" excuse are either willfully ignorant or they just do not care. Why does Google not give them gifts, invite them to the co

Thank you for the suggestion! :) Google I(dentity)A(ware)P(roxy) is actually a hosted beyondcorp implementation! But I probably should have explained that in my original comment.

I can't imagine a good reason to expose ANY of my services to the public internet. Aside from a rest-api that drives our application, where that is the feature of course. With software like google IAP, and many similar products, it jus

My problem with these sorts of tools is always the same: I have been spoiled by my emacs keybindings ( evil mode ), the ability to parse structured text, org-mode, and command line tooling. I do not have to open a web browser and navigate,

A few reasons. SOPS is fine, I was more referring to my implementation. The reason my pipeline scales poorly is because it requires a full build and deployment cycle to update my dev / stg / prod configurations. Also, if you store

Vault looks great, but I always balk at the operational overhead. Also the cost is significant. I'm at a tiny org, though. For smaller orgs and projects, Mozilla Sops is really great: https://github.com/mozilla/sop

Yes. This exactly. Or, if not ability, then experience and wisdom. Or relevant skills. Or connections. Or discipline. None of which you can manifest by sheer force of will. I always tell my Jr. Engineers that if you have to work THAT HARD t

Agree with this 100%. Hustle porn is toxic and and the ethos needs to be avoided. It is clear why people latch onto the narrative. Working insane hours is a way to conceal incompetence. When your boss or employees come knocking and sees the

I was making a joke about how it is a very conservative publication. "Fair and Balanced" was Fox News' motto for a long time. Not that being conservative invalidates everything contained on the blog. But, you can find blogs w
