This response is rude / insulting and doesn't actually add much because you've just asserted a bunch of fallacious opinions without any meat. My opinion is reality is more nuanced. Both "the code is self documenting&quo

It's a complicated subject. Like you're talking about fairness, but you're also arguing that other people should pay taxes to give your parents money, in order for them to keep their property, whilst many of those paying thei

The underlying problem is the UK is reverting back to a system where you have property and can then therefore build wealth, or you don't have property, and somewhere to live costs over 50% of your net income. This isn't to say tax

Whilst true, it probably doesn't need ACID / strong consistency. Don't get me wrong. Correctness is a great default, much easier to reason about.

It actually depends on the workload. Sending webhooks, as an example, often has zero need to go back and update the database, but I've seen that exact example take down several different managed databases ( i.e., not just postgres ).

by ownagefool 1y ago
Largely agree. Functionality wise if you don't have many jobs, using the database as the queue is fine. However, I've been in several situations where scaling the queue brings down the database, and therefore the app, and am thus

I think the overriding idea is a UBI would only result in a modest living and luxury would cost more. That's where many of the practical issues come in of course. I'm not going to personally argue they're not solvable, but ma

I quit a job via a consultancy to a bank at about lunchtime on my first day. I'm just not at the stage in my life where I'm willing to onboard to a transformation that starts with a half a day call authenticating so you can login

I'm a bit confused by your post here. > The boss wanted to scale but did not care about tech... We saw revenue grow a ton. Sounds like the boss was largely getting the scaling they wanted? Every situation is different and there are

Containers are essentially just a wrapper tool for a linux kernel feature called cgroups, with some added things such as layered fs and the distribution method. You can also use just use cgroups with systemd. Now, you could implement someth

It's actually probably a more difficult problem at scale. When you have a single smallish schema, you export, restore, and write automated tests that'll probably prove that backups in 10 minutes ( runtime, development time few day

Honestly, I think there are no "best practices" here, there's simply "patterns I've seen work before". If we put people over processes, you might actually find you can manage a much bigger org. Like if the sta

by ownagefool 1y ago
For some reason, whether that be scale, or dysfunction, you tend to end up with disparate silos even in relatively well run orgs. I did a stint with a large US org where my SOW was to do azure (hashicorp) vault. The org already had about 2

We actually can't judge this without really looking at outcomes. If the parent leans on the hard earned skills to make better decisions that improves outcomes for their team and by extension the org, then it's entirely possible it

So have I, and I'm pretty impressed you could decipher that from a single comment, and it doesn't reflect poorly on you at all that you immediately drew such a conclusion from someone refusing to discuss pros and cons of solutions

Depends. At least some of these lists will be created to define the scope of the good engineer so it applies to them, or habits they like, but there's nothing that actually clarifies the benefit here. Is there a measurable increase in

A wrapper CLI that produces the same outcome wouldn't really be considered middleware, which surely should affect runtime?

In think in either case, if you already have code that's done, using that is going to be less effort than switching. However, I ran kubeadm on a hetzner server and it's just sat chugging along forever basically. I use the cluster

There isn't actually ( nor was there ever ) a 3 node requirement for k8s. Etcd requires 3 boxes for HA, but nothing stops you running a single node etcd. I personally run single master clusters, because if the master goes down, you los

by ownagefool 2y ago
This is a great response and pretty much sums it up. With k8s you can easily install a bunch of helm charts and get a bespoke platform that becomes a full time role for multiple people. There are pros and cons against this approach but you

by ownagefool 2y ago
I think just running a process and exposing a port is fine, but the second you get into running a bunch of services together, or caring about environments, the k8s abstraction is simpler. In the last 6 months my job has been to get producti

Many of us, myself included, will be predisposed to controlling our own SDLC, largely because of bad experiences with vendors. Personally I've had vendors shutting down a product that was core to our offering with basically no notice,
