I agree about the IC terminology. The best I've seen so far is "maker" vs "manager"

I feel like we've already seen some alternatives and the industry, thus far, is still orienting towards k8s. Hashicorp's stack, using Nomad as an orchestrator, is much simpler and more composable. I've long been a fan of Meso

It's not just that. Google (and a few others) dealt with retention issues from startups and other companies in SV who's sole recruiting strategy was poach from Google, ie- use Google as a filter and let them do all the work findin

Yep. There are reasons Perforce is so prevalent in game development, even if we gripe about it: - Large binary asset support. - Exclusive locks for binary assets. - Speed. When configured properly, it's very fast, particularly for larg

My frame of reference for the argument about Mesos vs k8s is from earlier in the timeline when the k8s was up and coming and just starting to compete with Mesos. Just as in my analogy with Rails: at it's inception, it lacked a bunch of

by jaaron 6y ago
Eh, maybe. I see your point. The thing is, Mesos on it's own isn't k8s. Mesos is a scheduler. k8s is a full stack. So it's always been a bit off to fully compare the two. If your system fit clearly within what k8s did well, t

This is much more the real story but I doubt most folks will ever hear it. Totally agree. Mesos project always had a trouble with governance and didn't build out the larger community the way other projects did. If they had built that c

by jaaron 6y ago
I preferred Mesos to k8s. I think it's core architecture (a 2-level scheduler) is a better foundation. For the longest time, I felt k8s was effectively an overgrown hobby project that had no place being deployed the way it was. That ha

I look to my art manager colleagues (I work in video games) with some envy, because their interview process is easier due to art candidates having portfolios. We just don't have that in the software industry, at least not portfolios th

I'm not sure "switched" is the right word. Minecraft is still massively popular. Anecdotally, the elementary school crowd my son plays games with play both with regularity.

I agree with everything in xyzelement's comment. As a hiring manager, it's only one source, but it's an important one. Examples of how I use it: - Posting job openings and company updates to my personal LinkedIn status. - Usi

I don't like LinkedIn as a social network but as a hiring manager, there's nothing else close to it. Sometimes we wish there were, but it definitely fills a niche.

It's true, Elastic can relicense as they see fit. I should perhaps do a bit better clarifying between: a) The code b) The community The issue is more that the open source work had been happening under the support and auspices of Elasti

Amazon's poor behavior doesn't excuse Elastic's poor behavior. Amazon's violation of Elastic's trademark is an issue between two companies: Amazon & Elastic. Elastic has the courts available to them to pursue th

I'm surprised to see the reaction here on HN, but I'm starting to realize I'm from an older generation of open source contributors and don't share the values of some here. The point of open source wasn't to enable v

Mailing lists is the answer. - Achievable - Searchable - Linkable - Asynchronous - Accessible I like using Slack and we use it heavily with my team, but I agree it has issues. Meanwhile, we've been using mailing lists for established o

You're misunderstanding what the parent poster was saying: when working on a large AAA game, content management (art, game design, etc.) is as much a bottleneck as engineering efforts. And a number of those bugs you're concerned a

I've been debating on getting my team of engineers a book as a gift, with Code Complete or Pragmatic Programmer as high on the list. Trouble is, as others noted, they're best when you're starting out and less helpful late

As with everyone else, the answer is CI/CD. Having run a team that built out its own Mac build farm... it's a pain.

First: If the code is for you, and for you exclusively, go ahead. If you're writing code as part of a team for a customer, then it isn't for you and it's whole purpose is to solve the problem at hand. Secondly: The primar

The ASF board's job isn't to enforce "standards." It's intentionally an open community-driven group, which means there's going to be a wide range of projects. See my response to yc-kraln: https://new
