I did it as well and I wouldn't recommend it to people who want to know how to use K8s. If you are going to administer (i.e., setup from scratch) K8s clusters, then yes it's a good resource.

Google. When I cannot find what I'm looking for, then Yandex (feels like using Google in 2006: little restrictions, no uncensored content)

It usually means nothing. That line as well as "We offer a competitive salary" are classic ones.

I don't know about English, but in other languages you need to know the context to distinguish "hate" speech and insults. If I call someone "You, motherf*er!", without context you don't know if I'm insulti

I guess because we are not in the 2010s anymore. Something new will probably emerge, but it won't be like Twitter.

You can easily get a raise/promotion when working with "underperformers", so what are you waiting for? But probably your college is not an underperformer.

Thanks for sharing! Have you considered selling your Apps outside the AppStore? Would it be worth it?

Agree. The first version of the example (the one using only `map`) is way easier to understand and maintain than the rigmarole the author ended up with (writing their own functors, pipes, peakerror and what not). It's like the author d

In the tech job market, the demand still exceeds the supply. This is beyond Covid, beyond the war (unless nuclear war happens I guess), beyond the current hire freeze in FAANG. That means, when you are looking for a job you still have negot

I buy Apple laptops because the hardware is the best out there. My first MBP lasted 7 years... And it's still running fine (battery capacity is at 70%). I can run whatever software I need via VMs. I don't need iCloud, nor GarageBa

Sometimes Docker is not a replacement for VMs (e.g., you need to run systemd because that's how you run apps in production and you want to simulate it in your local env)

Nah. With 86K gross/year in Germany you get: around 4K for tax group 1 (single) and 4.7K for tax group 3 (married and your partner earns less than you). Also, average rent in Berlin is among the cheapest (compared to other big cities

1. Think what title you would like to have in your next job (e.g., Senior Staff Engineer, Senior Eng. Manager, etc.) 2. Use your work hours (30% of them? Depends on your workload) to learn what's needed to be comfortable assuming that

It could be as well that it's an European thing. At least over here work is just work (9 to 5, or less if possible), so we prefer to spent life with friends and family. Yeah, we don't earn $500K/year, but that's alright.

Don't get it. If I ever buy a device like Remarkable it's because of its display (easy on the eyes, reads like paper, etc.). If you couldn't be happier using a normal Android tablet (which has a normal display), then why did

I see plenty of jobs for software engineers in (Western) Europe advertised on LinkedIn these days. I got a new job a few months ago, and I certainly can't notice the "lay off/recession" effect (yet). Perhaps the number o

If you think you are that smart, you shouldn't work for Google and similars. Reminds me of the ending of Will Hunting (the movie).

He he. For a second, that's what I thought as well. But I want to believe the story is legit.

As someone who's working on something similar (one-man project), what I struggle the most is with the infra details. Author mentions that there's a single machine for the api, db and nginx; this means the machine is publicly acces

Perhaps it's due to my ignorance in the field or perhaps it's because the field is pretty young: I would like to read something from the Linus Torvalds/Brian Kernighan/Richard Stevens of the crypto world.

Thanks. I know the official docs. They just feel to me like the official docs of K8s (they are good, but not great. Great in the sense of "Brian Kernighan" or "Stevens" book kind of great). I guess there are not many mor

I thought the same at the beginning. Yet somehow I think I'm missing something a bit more complex (complicated?) than just "linked lists". I don't want to understand only the theory but also the "practice" (e.

Don't worry, other people think your code is complex too and they have a hard time understanding it. Happens to everyone.

Please don't give away the secret sauce. Let those silly entrepreneurs and investors keep playing with fire.
