I would recommend getting good plugs though. Bad cheap plugs make you hear nothing. On the other hand, I have some Senner Earplugs. Those are amazing - they take away a lot of sound pressure at lower freqencies, but let most higher frequenc

Coming at it from the other side, we have 20 - 25 Java teams deploying some 50 - 70 different java services in a number of software environments. For the removal of a number of systems on the older infra, we're expecting another 10 - 1

It's both of that. It has been determined that 2 seconds of siren should be enough for everyone on an in intersection to realize what's going on. And that's why there is a rule for drivers of emergency vehicles to sound the s

We're using it to provision the Vms hosting our container platform besides some terraform/packer for allocating the VMs and such. It works, and doesn't suck much more or less than other configuration systems. A big discussion

Very much so. We're kind of arriving at a workflow which dictates: If one of the experts or architects has to be asked about some topic, the documentation in that area has to be improved, ideally together with that expert and based on

In my book, if you want to go for architect/principal/staff, you will have to work on communication, documentation and leadership skills. At work, the group of most senior engineers has a couple of roles: - They need to collect th

Yeah, I'm a bit put off by the comments there. Like, yeah. Neovim is faster and smaller than VSCode, by a lot on smaller hardware. And I'm pretty sure I could summon my experiences from 5 years ago or so of really putting effort i

Hm. Controversial opinion is a good way to describe it. The thing is: Docker or Podman is just the runtime coordinated and controlled by Kubernetes or Nomad in our case. Nomad practically already supports a hypothetical WASM runtime or offe

Yep. At work, I'm being a bit picky about the wording, but it's shifting people into a better direction. We don't have DevOps people. We have a fairly modern operations team, we have more or less modern developers and tasks o

20 - 30 development teams deploying 100 - 150 services in usually multiple stages. About half or a little more are rather new. And we have different angles of approach here. For example, we from infra-ops have setup a bunch of reusable and

I'd say this strongly depends on the kind of error and the quality of the application involved. Like, if the error is something technical - something is upset and refuses to talk with the database now, that's something you can ide

Well, assume you have a very, very efficient algorithm to check if normal boolean expressions have a solution. It checks some constant number of things for each variable, and then outputs a solution and it works for a large number of things

I agree. I'd say this offers two good things though: First off, it very directly informs you by interrupting your workflow. The secret doesn't go out and nothing happens - your dang git push doesn't work for some reason. This

I know quite a few backend developers who grew a lot by working in (application) operations for a month or three. If you can do so within a company or at a university, I'd very much recommend doing so - and not just because my team is
