Would love to be able to do this for more platform engineering oriented courses. Hope you can add Terraform (HCL) in the future. Good luck!

Anytime you’re building a new feature or product, focus first on getting something functioning end to end. From there, start to iterate on the middle piece by piece until the whole thing works the way you want. Say you’re asked to build che

Hadn’t heard of this so went and looked. The top post is literally a photo of Biden that’s captioned: “The left spent four years telling us how dumb Trump is… Then they drop this *** on us.” I bleeped out the derogatory language. That’s not

I’m learning to fly. Working on my private pilot license in SoCal. I had spent a lot of time prepping before starting my training, so some stuff has been expected but other stuff has been a pleasant surprise. One of the things that crosses

Just want to yes and you. In general, put everything in private subnets, and make the only way any traffic can get to a server is through a load balancer. There are very few reasons to have a server itself have its own public IP address, an

Respectfully, all of the suggestions are good, as are your two. But, segregating your public traffic and private traffic is an excellent way to prevent these sorts of issues from happening. While it doesn't prevent someone who's c

There are therapists who specialize in substance abuse outside the AA model. You should call around to some local therapists and see if anyone feels like they might be a fit. They can also help you to understand what if any problem does exi

You’re right. Children die seconds after coming into this world, and cancer and disease can kill the most healthy of us. I would have wished for that end for my father, rather than the squalor, isolation, and suffering that found him for ne

Yes. Just going off the public report by the sheriff’s department. My message stands whether or not folks believe the report is accurate. Hundreds die every day from alcohol abuse, whether or not John was one of them.

As someone who lost two parents by 60, to alcohol, I hope John’s passing can serve as a reminder to those struggling that today is a great day to get sober. There is no shame in the fact that you’re an alcoholic or any other dependency you’

Truly different capabilities under the hood. Yes, they are both CDN providers, but fastly offers a remarkable amount of customization that cloudflare does not. For 99% of customers, one can argue that cloudflare is more than sufficient. For

Sure thing. Devs develop locally. Can test their code (manual test and most automated tests). They push and open a PR. They can deploy ephemeral environments with any dependent microservices spun up along side. This is an in house tool we d

Not the OP but in a continuous release process you treat main (master) as “the source of truth” and merges to main trigger a new release to production. At the company I work at, we have about 160 full time engineers with about half our repo

I worked from home prior to the pandemic, then joined a company right at the start. I’m a “remote vet” having been doing this for five years, so I’ve been doing my best to help folks adapt (because it does take adaptation). Ironically, toda

Hey Patrick, Very similar boat as you, and my career has gone fairly well. I won’t say any of the advice below is bad; however, I would point out how all over the place it is. The reason that’s true is that you’re seeing each person’s perso

Once a SE discovers that they can learn, quite significantly, in a language that may have very little practical day to day use, it's a powerful moment. Sometimes the best tools for teaching aren't the tools we need in our day to d

While I have friends (and many colleagues) who graduated from MIT CS and are very competent engineers, I don't think MIT is the shining beacon of the best SE/CS graduates. Their program is certainly very good, but if someone asked

Back in 2008/2009, I was lucky enough to be in the NU PhD program straight out of undergrad. I had the amazing opportunity, as a TA, to teach this curriculum in the second-semester CS course that all of the CS/SE students went thr

I’ve started to approach the remote/in-person discussion with the same thought process I use for planning/management, which is to say that it’s best to structure the process around the team, rather the team around the process. Wha

Not necessarily. I’ve lived in three rentals in LA over the past five years and each one had a clause that allowed me to break my lease in exchange for two months rent. Not saying the OP had that clause, but I’ve never had to ask for it and

VSCode actually runs that stuff over on the remote host. There’s no lag when typing because it’s pushed to the remote host async, so your editor doesn’t lag like if you were typing something in over SSH. It’s quite seamless and you forget y

I usually draw the line for local vs. remote if I'm spinning up multiple services. In particular, if I'm using something like minikube to do end to end testing (I develop tooling on top of Kubernetes), remote development is far su

Is it a bizarre suggestion? The laptop seems pretty wonderful by all accounts. Low power draw, amazing battery life, great OS (I’m still a fan), great mouse, I like the keyboards (blasphemy I know)... So, if I like all those things, but I c

For those talking about wanting to wait till docker support is 5x5, there’s another work around you can go with. Buy the M1 and switch to a fully remote development experience. Spin up a DO instance, wire up VSCode Remote, and run docker on

There’s a few strategies you can employ. One is to roll each AZ one at a time, and take each out of service first. Another strategy is to have redundancy in each AZ such that your rolling strategy never takes the AZ itself offline. Just dep
