I definitely didn't downvote and I agree that there are tradeoffs with any choice- but serverless doesn't mean Ops-less. I use Lambdas for lots of things, actually a lot of my Ops use Lambdas for various tasks (like SES catch all

RE: AWS Lambda, there are a lot of shortcomings, the biggest is latency when it's cold. Another is duration, if your process takes too long and you can't break it into smaller steps (probably not a good sign, but still...) Lambda

I laughed harder than I should've because I just moments ago was reviewing a stack trace with a teammate and questioned "have you ever gotten anything useful after line 50 of a Spring stack trace?" And then we all laughed unt

I can't agree enough. I can't find anything else with support that the Spring ecosystem has built for many cloud stacks (my experience is with AWS). Being able to choose from a whole host have identity providers, social, and other

Dropwizard and Play are very good alternatives to Spring if you don't need the whole kitchen sink or you absolutely want to use X library for Y application function and Spring doesn't necessarily have very good out of the box supp

There's nothing wrong with working for the money, nearly everyone is actually just working for the money unless they're independently wealthy and working for no salary. The difference is this: some people use "I'm just w

I've never gotten a lot of grief about disclosing past salary. I generally try to set the anchor and conversation around what I want to be making to join their company. I have (very fortunately) never been in the position where I _had_

I'll second that. I've had very good luck with my conversion on my old MBP so far. I have a late 2009 kicking around the house, basically a web browsing computer or backup machine if I leave my newer model in the office, etc. Sinc

TP-Link actually really isn't that crappy for the price point. Which was the gist of my entire statement. For sub-$100 you can get Routers that will keep up with (in most metrics) $200+ routers. Yes, these are generally pretty cheap an

The Arris/Motorola Surfboard series have always been great for me. I think the biggest difference between the cheapest model and the most expensive one is that the most expensive one is capable of a theoretical max that is multiples of

I've been back on FiOS since we moved back to PDX last summer, so my last cable modem switcharoo was about 5 years ago in Seattle. It's likely they could've made it easier. To that end, I've done the modem switch probabl

The beauty is that (as far as my experience for the last ten years with Comcast for home and business in Seattle and Portland) I've never once had to do any configuration other than plugging it in while on the phone with support and re

The best thing anyone can do is swap out the junky cable modem + WiFi router combos they rent to you. They're horrible under standard usage, bad when lots of clients are connected, bad wifi range, low memory, require frequent reboots,

I've begun mentally treating "Natural" as the equivalent of someone saying "trust me". Well, I did... until you seemed to preemptively think I had a reason not to. Ignore the words on the front, flip the package ove

No direct Linux support but you can absolutely run the windows version 4 in Wine. It's not without a few crashy glitches but for just using stored passwords it works fine. It would be very nice if they did support Linux and people have

If you install 1Password 4 in Wine it works pretty well, I've even got browser extensions working with my Linux browser. Its not great and it crashes some, but it does work.

1Password, and it's been awesome. If you use the non-hosted version you control the whole thing. LAN only sync, or Dropbox, Rsync, however you want to sync it if it matters. Otherwise they've got a hosted version which can also gi

There was a while a few years back where a MBP running Windows 7 was one of the better* laptop choices out there. The last two teams I've worked with have all had Macs, even though at least half the team were writing .NET in Windows. T

As a hiring manager, if you tell me the reason you left after such a short time was as you describe in this post, I would have no real issues with it. I'd be looking for some insinuation that you gave it an honest effort and tried to w

I usually go to bed about 10, usually at the same time as her. We get a few hours every night to just us. Mind you, I'm not forcing myself up at 4:30 with an alarm or anything. I'm up when I'm up and it's nearly always b

We've got 3: 4,2, and 9 months. Thank goodness they all sleep (relatively) well. The baby goes down at 6 and the older ones go down at 7:30 (really, we start the process at like 7, targeting 7:30). We're also incredibly lucky that

I was lucky in that my natural schedule allows a lot of quiet thinking time without having to short shrift the family time or time with the wife. I'm up by 430 every morning and in my office by 6, with gym time before I get in. I get a

Good enough is exactly what we should be aiming for. Perfect means it will never ship. The problem with good enough is that my opinion of it differs from yours, in possibly very important ways. Good enough to you may mean it compiles and ex

It sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too. I believe our right to free speech is the most important thing we have. However, if someone reads a post they don't like why should they HAVE to hire you? As an employer if I re
