We wrote a custom controller that manages Google workspace and github groups. This allows us to use those groups for identity. Changes to those groups happen solely by the PR process. HR, is only responsible for adding them to the single gr

Here come the tesla fans quoting stats about how safe tesla is. I don't care how safe it is, its nowhere near as safe or reliable as the sales and marketing are pushing. I wish it was criminal how misleading tesla has been regarding r

I tried to use managed elk from elastic.co. The actual product is pretty decent. They have sane defaults for security and unlike their open source product they enable security by default. The management of it sucks. Management console is t

Imo a sysadmin that transitions to sre has a higher capacity for immediate impact, and a higher propensity for long term toil increase. A dev moving to sre will often need to be taught the importance of documentation, how to have smaller im

At some point this will be like taking out the trash. Lots of money in making sure it's done right. Companies who can do this correctly and cheaply will be able to charge for this service.

Op question made me think of a few others. Why is a molecules with high energy density so difficult to break down? Why are there so few natural decomposers of plastics? Is this because bacteria haven't evolved the correct enzymes, and

This is often quoted that tesla has a lower accident rate than other vehicles. Comparatively, how often do those vehicles cause deaths while directly taking control of the vehicle.

How comments in school indicate to the grader that you not only can write code but you can explain what it's doing in another way. It's actually a somewhat decent way to catch cheaters. As it provides a better likeness score betwe

We recently did a similar thing at the company I work for in response to similar pressures. The effort to make that change was significantly less than the continual effort required to deal with the pressures. From a cost perspective their d

It took a few months, working In a massive multiple million lines of code "rules engine". The first bit was really understanding how recursion works and how to trace the code. After that close understanding of logical operations l

In addition to the others answers, memcpy of size zero is undefined in certain cases. This and the other two bugs can be particularly nasty when doing something such as an arena allocator or any other means of user memory pools. After an in

We use it, I'm not on the team that uses it. Basically a lift and shift of our backup data center which came with all sorts of improvements. It's quite a bit more expensive, the projects that it runs in cost more than the rest o

One of the most disruptive changes was the master-> something else. Sure the default is now main. But for a few months teams came up with their own standards. Now when I'm working on large scale changes across many systems I contino

I mostly disagree, but in a native implementation you probably do have strong data coupling. You can have cdc feed to another system that performs enrichment or transformation. Cdc also enables all sorts of non obvious changes that are infr

Maintenance costs of any software should be taken into consideration. I can say that we've had our troubles with kafka sure. But app teams 100% love working with it instead of having to have familiarity with all the various data sourc

That's a useful stategy, yes. But scaling your database is one of the more costly things you can scale.

When you have a monolith database that everybody wants to access Kafka with CDC is a very good pattern for teams to adopt. The alternative is modifying your app for arbitrary data access and dealing with auth or giving direct data access. G

Theres a huge benefit to having an entire company help you out with kernel fixes, and all sorts of problems. This means you don't have manage this yourself.

Shouldn't this warrant a 2.0 release?

For anyone following along. Don't do this if the code base is already hotshit. This will only make things worse and not prevent errors, just cause more outages.
