Squid Game is one of those shows you can never "unwatch". It's quite harrowing but strangely addictive and a great critique of modern capitalism. Strongly recommended if you have the stomach for it

I think I’m in the minority, I really miss working in a collocated team. I previously had a 30 minute bike commute, enjoyed having lunch with colleagues and solving problems together in person. Zoom and Slack will never be as good for me,

Maybe, but I prefer to decide myself and in my case I need to test out different ingress controllers with our product. I had troubles getting Nginx ingress to work on k3s. FWIW project contour is also quite nice and has dynamic config reloa

I moved from k3s to microk8s for local development. I gave up on k3s because I needed calico CNI and it was a pain to set up, on microk8s it's just `microk8s enable calico`. I also found k3s a bit too opinionated with the default Traef

You are still orchestrating though, you still need to provision nodes and related resources, ensure containers are running on the node and are healthy, mount volumes, clean up old docker resources. Plus you are now completely locked in to E

The K8s API is very conservative with backwards compatability and graceful deprecation. In general, cluster upgrades should have minimal impact on your workloads. The horror stories are usually from a cluster admin point of view and devs ar

> Interestingly enough I normally recommend people avoid Kubernetes, if they don't have a real need, which most don't. I would have agreed with this statement 2 years ago but now I think K8s has been commoditized to the point w

The risk with using Docker in production is that you can end up building your own bad version of Kubernetes over time. K8s is fairly complex but it solves a lot of useful problems such as zero downtime upgrades, service discovery, declarati

The Kubernetes API implements patch correctly FWIW. Patching objects in k8s is advisable where possible instead of replacing as it allows the control plane to gracefully update the resources (without downtime). https://blog.atomi

Imagine a world where people were provided free health care, a benefits system, good employee rights and state pensions! Oh wait, it already exists in most of Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

It would be a huge risk not adding business use to your policy and paying the extra premium, especially in the US were people are so litigious

Free healthcare at the point of delivery perhaps?

Envoy based gateways such as Istio ingress gateway or Ambassador use traffic shadowing to achieve this. Traefik also has shadowing

RTAPI is mentioned in the previous blog post [1], it sounds like the new edge gateway supercedes it [1] https://eng.uber.com/gatewayuberapi/

Is rewriting everthing from scratch ever a good idea? I can understand the need to get off Python 2 but migrating the entire stack to Go sounds very risky and hard to justify.

I work for a large US tech company (not a FAANG). Getting in early on the Kubernetes bandwagon has helped me a lot . I used to work for a research consultancy and was paid significantly less then (but the work was a bit more interesting)

I earned very close to that this year outside of London. It’s definitely possible to live up north and earn that (working remotely)

by ojhughes 5y ago
I disagree, I get paid a lot more than anyone I know who isn’t in tech and I’m outside of London. Even Doctors in the UK get paid less than a senior engineer at a decent company

Yeah that’s my current strategy long term

This sounds quite sanctimonious, just because you have children doesn’t mean your life is somehow more valid than those that don’t. This mans life is arguably more valuable to society than us sat in an office. He’s producing food and helpin

For many contractors, it's a lifestyle choice primarily. They often don't want to deal with all the performance reviews and would rather "be their own boss". Day rates aren't always as lucrative as they sound when y

I’m a huge fan of Korean drama. They often have great acting and stories with a lot of plot twists. Netflix has a big selection.

Sounds like you have the wrong motivations for a career in software engineering. No offence but I wouldn’t want to work with someone who is purely in it for the money and people can easily suss out that kind of attitude. If you don’t have p
