Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors. Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with any resources that successfully completed. do you know who can rollback and leaves your infra in a consisten

what kind of infrastructure are you managing? if you’re in the aws cloud, CloudFormation is the gold standard for “infrastructure as code”.

yeah. it depends a lot and k8s has its place in some scenarios, but in most cases you don’t need it and its use is purely driven by koolaid

if your team is only a handful of devs who work on the thing that pays the bills + do k8s, yes. bad time. the only way i could justify running this is if you’re using a managed solution like gke or eks. otoh, if you’re in the cloud, you alr

we should form a club or something. we’ll call it the gopher 8th light seekers and drink sparkling water + bitch about go while the rest invent the future. in go :)

we’ll agree to disagree here. I believe it’s kool-aid and unless you use it in one of the few niches where it shines it’s a disaster waiting to happen. the Google brand helped immensely and containers/docker are their own flavor of koo

hah. no. unless you have proper build/release/test/deploy state-of-the-art tooling the monorepo approach is a disaster. google and other bigco have it? do you? there is a reason we modularize and version things in software. i

if you didn’t experience issues with “vendoring” you were either: extremely lucky, work on a very small codebase and/or on a very small team. to me, only the idea of using a git submodule pointed to a repo that has all my dependencies

nah. we’ll agree to disagree on this one. most devops cloud stuff is written in python. you know what’s written in go? terraform. i have yet to meet someone that has actually leveraged terraform in a production setting and does not think it

given the option I will take java any day or night. we developers like to experiment things and put them on our resumes, but once the kool-aid is gone very few things stand the test of time. imho, go wouldn’t be a thing if it didn’t have [i

compared to go? it’s state of the art. npm is a huuge succes. pypi is real. for java developers maven central is living the dream. go? pull shit from git hub and pretend that it’s acceptable and works

Every mainstream programming language that came out in the last 20 years has already solved this. Java, Javascript, Ruby, Python, Rust, you name it. I am baffled to why Go has not figured this out and are presenting recent developments as s

it’s close to dmt in the sense that part of it’s structure is DMT. as far as effects, if you believe the literature: dmt is like sailing into the sunset and 5meo is like stapping yourself to a rocket. both give you something, but radically

as someone who is from that neck of woods I can tell you that the people you interact with are probably not your typical developers from there. as with everything in life there are people that are really good at what they do and also there

i’m going to respectfully disagree. each tool you listed (with the exception of awk) does one thing and does it extremely well. my goal is not to use a language to solve all possible variations on problems i have. my goal is to solve the pr

I would not describe HN (or Reddit as a matter of fact) as addictive. For me, HN is about the quality of content and quality of the comments on the said content. It’s almost like no matter how obscure something is, if it’s interesting enoug

I believe that’s a bit unfair. Different Openstack components had different level of quality. The biggest problem I saw was that little to no thought was put into what the experience of an operator would be. It looked more like a playground

hmm. “stock” k8s still has limitations that make it look like a toy (how many nodes can you have in a cluster again? is that hyperscale?). the pattern I’ve seen is that teams/companies that go into k8s hoping it’s going to solve the pr

parsing text is what a lot of these scripts/mini-pipelines do. the key argument for *nix tools is that they do one thing and only one thing extremely well. at a meta level these tools are units of functionality and you’re actually doin
