Can anyone who's familiar with Earthly explain why somebody would want to use it instead of Bazel?

The purpose of a work phone is to carry it during the specifically agreed upon period that you are actively on-call. And you should be compensated specifically for that on call time. A standard is 1/3 of your on call time out of busine

A better question is why do you feel the need to “stay on top of slack” during your non work hours? Having entirely separate devices is BY FAR the best thing I have done for my mental health and productivity. Same as other posters here.

Can you talk more about how you evaluated career options for rust vs jvm and what kept you on the latter?

It is absolutely fascinating how wrong this approach is. Every single issue that comes up in on-call should be evaluated under the lens of “does fixing this absolutely require human judgement, or can it be automated, ideally by fixing the c

There is a lot of SRE content about fixing on-call. My short summary is, fixing on-call is a HUMAN problem, not a technical engineering problem. Here’s an excellent place to start: https://monitoring.love/articles/how-t

Don’t do it. If you do, get PRK not lasik. Don’t do it. Your vision and ability to stare at a computer is the only thing standing between you and being homeless. It’s not worth it. And it only lasts about 10 years then you need glasses anyw
