Don’t repeat yourself or making code “DRY” sounds/sells so much better than tightly coupled.

Not for production, but used it for deployments to remote servers via SSH using GitHub Actions. Wrote a guide and video tutorial of how to as well, it uses nginx proxy and surprisingly updates were zero down time since the nginx proxy didn’

I'm not that familiar with tech company revenue growth examples but can you point to many other $5B companies (or companies already making $100M revenue) that get 50% YoY growth for 10 years? As far as revenue goes? That kind of revenu

Love to read more about these stories rather than the same crazy cloud costs that get normalized all the time. Just by looking at Hetzner and others, I can see this kind of thing would be extremely doable but concrete stories of those doing

Thanks for sharing, that's a lot of logs but another good example of how linear scaling costs hurts. A lot cheaper than standard AWS CloudWatch which reckons it would be $200k+ a month.. but though 600GB an hr is not an easy problem to

Taking steps a bit further, it would be interesting to know what variation saves what money. Eg if your load is 80% of the time between 80-100k connections but the 20% at 250k, you save $500 a month using serverless or vice versa. Is it as

I personally see the flip side, the original logging service at 30k/mo is totally wild. How much data was being logged/searched if you don't mind me asking?

I don’t since you end up with either complex configuration to surface language specific tasks. Having well thought out defaults, tools, etc by separating them out into different IDEs allows for ease of use you couldn’t get with one IDE to r

I’ve written UIs for various platforms/targets including “UI frameworks” for a games engine and wow you’re not wrong. Made me beg to build web UIs again.

For perceiving the events happening, sure, that was my point. These time differences are nearly always imperceptible but at distances of planets it truly becomes a way of looking into the past. But to be clear, events happen concurrently, e

I was at a local radio telescope for the “live” event when it landed. Another crazy part was due to the time delay, by the time they were receiving info about entering the Mars atmosphere, it was was already over in reality and we all just

I think you meant “shown” (past tense of show),eg shone: A bright light was shone on the target shown: The curtain was pulled back and the object was shown for all the visitors to see Hope that helps.

Weird hill to die on but ok, like it’s not great but extreme hyperbole is unnecessary imo.

Here is a post by Martin Fowler James Lewis in 2014 pointing out the same thing [0]. A lot of the thoughts expressed there I think are still relevant but I guess we had to wait for this hype cycle to play out? [0] https://martinf

The same you would use for a micro services setup except their is just one of them? Eg, AWS ECS is very straight forward to get this working for a monolithic setup. In the end you need the same patterns, health checks, load balancer, draini

As I stated, "Yes it is tiny in the global scale of what is being shipped". Yes, the reuse of containers is impressively highly efficient but more and more industries are at the scale or significant pollution/externalities co

While true, it is quite staggering to visualize 100mx100mx75m of shipping containers to represent what gets lost every year. Yes it is tiny in the global scale of what is being shipped but wow that is a large apartment building every year g

The spoon theory definitely applies as you change your behavior but once you’ve made new habits, it’s not the same. Spoons aren’t used up by category of empathy, if you heard detailed life stories of those dying of war or COVID it would be

I actually think it is a good feedback loop, but it needs to be staffed well and costs need to be well understood before a startup just takes on global 24/7 product and hoping the devs sort it out. I did 24/7 support solo and with

This approach makes sense, but with Australia, EV sales are not close to 2% and are still 0.6% [0], and they are still really expensive upfront to buy. Also in Australia, the fuel tax isn’t isolated for use only for roads, it is a federal t

100%, "bias for action" as they say. Delivering something regularly and creating a loop that including customers/users etc will help form good habits. Lots of positives will flow from this I've found.

Motivation is likely not the right word here, in my experience of burn out, depression hits pretty hard and you stop doing things for yourself due to lack of joy/seeing the point in doing anything. "Finding motivation" from f

I wish more managers were aware of this, especially in fields where there is a lot of intrinsic motivation beyond the money. I'm definitely guilty of this, I know its not worth my health and yet I kept pushing myself beyond breaking po

With you as well, will be avoiding the washing machine for at least 2 months over this Christmas/New year (and very lucky I can afford to) hoping that I can find my motivation again.

Thanks for posting this. Startup DevOps with 24/7 on call is brutal, especially if you're a very early employee.

Interested in what you mean by 'lot more advanced'? The optional nature of the typing can be very useful for the web for sure. From my experience that same flexibility means you can't do as much reflection at runtime as in .N

I think your math is off, if you gave a vaccine to 90+ percentage of people, say 300M, and killed 0.01% you’d be killing 30k people. This looks pretty attractive when your death toll is looking to rise to over 500k people. Eg if nothing cha

Right, but now when you are deciding on a schema change, your front ends clients are going to break because you didn’t create an API, the just allowed db querying from the front end. Web API contracts are primarily routes and request/r
