Ive never understood this culture. This kind of operation could be achieved by having several teams of folks working in shifts so noone is working crazy long, no? It seems like the company is unwilling to invest in the manpower required to

Trying to reason about postgres is somewhat of an enigma when you are forced to do it; generally the only reason as a programmer you have to is because something went wrong, and then the mindset is a mix of nervousness and panic; then incre

That doesn’t seem like a contradiction. Full time jobs should offer livable wages, part time could offer less. However, you can’t do some shenanigans like force workers to be part time by making them work less than 40 hours a week just so t

As far as I see, tech has destroyed the “legacy media” almost completely. Only the older generation pays any attention to it: all the young people get their news from TikTok and podcasts; even the older generation has gotten brain rot from

Yes only at the node (data plane) level but not the api (control plane).

because namespaces aren’t a failure boundary. If your api gets hosed, you can create a new cluster and tear down the old one and call it a day. With a stateful cluster, you can’t do that. As such you put in a lot more care with eg k8s upgra

There are genuine reasons for running multiple clusters. It helps to sometimes keep stateful (databases generally) workloads on one cluster, have another for stateless workloads etc. Sometimes customers demand complete isolation so they get

Im hoping that most of the infra costs get amortized by people bringing on their PDS’s, while some of the core stuff (app layer, iOS app etc.) is maintained by a small team funded by donations/subscriptions.

I mean why stop there with this analogy? we didn’t solve that problem by building decentralized banks. As a society the solution we came up to this is regulations around what banks can or can’t do, how much notice they must give you. If use

Given their experience in designing custom CPUs it seems like a lost opportunity for Apple to not invest in building its own cloud (like AWS)? Perhaps offer cost effective compute using these designs? Does iCloud running in Apple datacenter

The problem with this is that eventually the database becomes everything to everyone. You start seeing the frontend UIs suffer due to errors with unrelated tables or table locking operations (like migrations). Redis is pretty awesome. So is

Ive seen this happen wayyy too frequently. My general perspective now is to never ever trust tech blogs or hype until youve seen a system work in production. 99% of the time its a polished turd for some dumbfucks promo packet.

Non toxic environments are rare and are absolutely, 100% a benefit. If you don’t believe this Im genuinely happy that youve had such good experiences.

I too had the worst interview experience with zendesk. The people I talked to were pretty senior folks too. They just seem to have a very petty and toxic work culture.

Agreed. It’s classism institutionalized in MBAs. The managerial class despises low level execution and instead considers strategy to be the most important thing. And they consider workers as replaceable pawns and not partners.
