Compiling and deploying effectively destroys my train of thought every time. The only thing that has helped is to reduce build times from minutes to seconds. By disabling link-time optimization in pre-production and by throwing out Docker b

I have about two years of experience with DevOps and Kubernetes. I manage my personal infrastructure with Terraform. I still prefer to keep services running with docker-compose when I can.

Kubernetes is another good example. If you don't already have all the problems that Kubernetes solves and the complexity that goes with those problems, adding Kubernetes prematurely gives you problems you didn't have by introducin

Another example is taking the Advanced Programming course and being exposed to monads without having done a ton of FP without monads. The “You could have invented monads, and maybe you already did” approach: monads do solve a problem, but i
