I work at small companies, not because they are perfect or things are always better and easier, but because I know the things I'm responsible for and the people I'm accountable to, and the thought of being slotted into a byzantine

Came here to say almost exactly this. I can't speak to the bias issue. I do know that spending three days doing a little chat app last time around landed me one of the best gigs I've had. The process was painless, I would have spe

Problem is large orgs are political by nature. If you acted that way chances are you'd be sidelined into some dead end thing, given all the crap work, or even laid off as "not a good fit" or something. If you were the kind of

I've been using it in production for close to a year and I run into the same issues. My biggest problem is really with the package manager metaphor and the fact that writing charts that can actually be installed and used in all/mo

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't DPR go well beyond creating a piece of software that might be abused, well beyond even making public statements indicating knowledge of illegal activity? I seem to recall attempted murder for hir

Fair enough. I took "this technology" to be a reference to Docker given the context.

I've got access to GCP and AWS, and a private account at a VPS provider with a server I can put anything on, and I still publish technical articles on medium for the simple reason that I get far more readers than I do when writing on m

I suspect the majority are unqualified references, i.e. 'markbnj/unbound' that rely on docker using the hub as a default repository.

Do they train emotional support animals to be used to unusual environments? I suppose it must be roughly the same sort of training given to sight assistance dogs. I'm pretty sure if I took either of my dogs on an aircraft, for example,

Almost 10 years for me. The main thing from this post I would emphasize is the point about the company culture. My current employer is all remote, and so support for and integration of remote engineers is natural for them. By contrast I wor

Wonder why the article isn't attributed? Had to click back to the author's home page on the site to find out who wrote it. Anyway, I think these are all good points but the one that really bothers me is no exception handling. Yeah

We use alpine as a base for production containers because it makes pulling the image a lot faster. A typical image might be 10-20MB vs. 60-100+MB if based on ubuntu.

Pretty handy project. I think probably most of us have to look this stuff up from time to time when parsing timestamps. Nice work.
