If your code has a lot of debug and info statements, but you only set production to the warn level, then you’re wasting cycles interpolating strings that go nowhere.

Reduced salaries for future tech workers is going to be a double whammy because I doubt tech stocks are going to continue growing like they did in the past decade. It really boosts your income when your equity doubles or triples in value du

It would be awesome if they could put the sweeper in front of the bike somehow. Imagine getting a flat from the broken glass you’re about to sweep up.

Two things I’ve learned after 15 years of working starting during the GFC: - It’s counterintuitive, but during your saving years you’re better off if the market’s doing poorly because everything’s on sale. If you’re retired you want the opp

There’s a whole world of folks who do this, with acquisitions and sophistication ranging from really small businesses[0] to ones in the range the article discusses[1]. It does seem like a numbers game where it makes sense to pool the risk.

We’ve had a pretty good experience with Terraspace at work, which is an opinionated framework/layout for Terraform. It supports hooks and splitting state between regions and accounts.

I doubt very many people skip recertification, because of the risk of losing it.

One thing I’ve done before is variable replacements in the queries (e.g. `WHERE user_id = ${user_id}`). Not sure if other tools do that easily, but it makes having a library of debugging queries more handy. They also support a lot of driver

The assertion was that even if it doesn’t feel like it, you support open source indirectly. It was not that all funding or contributions are made by large enterprises. I applaud efforts to more directly support projects that give you utilit
