I was an engineer for 15 years and have been a tech presales for 4 years now. You couldn't be more wrong.
Best engineers making the best product ever will not make a dollar without good sales people and marketing and product managers and VC and ... You need ALL of these to make a succesful company.
Your company "saves" over 100k/month paying WAY too much for EKS, which is extremely expensive.
If you're at any decent scale (looks like you are), then switch to GKE, or switch to on-prem and buy some hardware + a Kubernetes distro like Mirantis/Openshift/Tanzu.
Heck, go run k3s on Hetzner and you won't have that much more work, but save literally millions at the scale you're talking about.
what about glass pipes encased in said metals :-)
Add March 5th to June 2nd...
A lot of them get this stock option every year, meaning after 4 years, you can easily have 480k vesting over time... (120k already vested after 4 years, 360k more to come in the next 4) etc...
Someone in the twitter thread probably discovered why: Apple Podcasts apparently asks to rate the app after each podcast now. So people think they're rating the podcast, not the app. Nice manipulation right there Apple, they can even claim plausible deniability, it's brilliant actually
- Go to https://tanzu.vmware.com/developer/workshops/ and create a free account (the workshops are run inside of your own kubernetes)
- Do the container 101 hands-on workshop (bottom of the page)
- Do the Kubernetes 101 hands-on workshop
- ???
- Profit! build and deploy applications on ANY kubernetes (not just GCP)
And then look into the GCP specifics for k8s (GKE), networking, DNS, load balancing, storage, monitoring, etc...
I pay 55-58 percent taxes in Belgium. Im pretty happy with how our system works and what they provide. But I do know they could easily get this number down if they would just do everything more efficiently. Never gonna move for it though.
I have So Many customers running Spring Boot Apps on embedded tomcat on Windows server.
And since I've been trying GitHub Actions, I don't know why you would need artifactory, nexus or this aws service anymore. Github offers private repositories, releases, project pages, cicd through actions and Microsoft is offering plenty of deployment options on Azure with AKS or plain Azure Compute
It doesn't. Big companies who want to be gdpr compliant buy enterprise Slack and force slack to store the data in European datacenters. Slack doesn't give a shit about gdpr if you're not paying
I never get why Elon Musk gets roasted for hyping up his products while EVERY OTHER car manufacturer does the exact same thing.
Heck, Jaguar boasted endlessly about their i-Pace being a great Tesla competitor, while in practice it disappointed in range (https://insideevs.com/news/340027/jaguar-i-pace-range-test-y...)
Another super important part of Cloud Foundry is the underlying VM automation layer called Bosh [1]. It used to be extremely high learning curve, but its also very powerful. Cloud Foundry could not exist without it, but it can be used for automation of other packages of software as well (the CI/CD tool Concourse for example)
Cloud Foundry is VERY mature nowadays, is completely opensource and is part of the Linux Foundation. You can view it as Linux, which is the vanilla opensource version and which has different distros (CentOS, Ubuntu, ...)
Cloud Foundry is the vanilla opensource version, and there are many (commercial) distros available, like Pivotal Cloud Foundry, IBM Bluemix, SAP Cloud Platform, etc...

It's also super handy to just put on your running gear and start running... I don't want a phone in my hand or in my gym shorts when running. I just need the watch to track my movements and when I get back home, I can sync it up to my smartphone, who will take the data, upload it to some running website and analyze everything (including heart rate data). That's still one of the best use cases to justify buying a smart watch at the moment
It is inferred that the group would always work together on projects, so their availability would be the same... If you sell yourself as a group but everyone still looks for offers of their own, it kind of defeats the purpose
Oh, I listened to all of his episodes and King of Kings was one of my favourites (together with WWI and Eastern Front series). Goes to show everyone has their preferences :-)
Please don't use averages... The big expensive cars pull up the average disproportionally.
Please use medians.
You should have a look at Spring Boot, which makes the Spring backend much easier to bootstrap/customize.
https://start.spring.io is your fastest way to production using Java/Spring
Rotate the ship fast enough to mimic 1G gravity... Solved!
a smaller, lighter toy which goes Mach 3 and 10km
compared to a bigger, much heavier toy which goes Mach 30 and into actual orbit :-)
They don't claim orbit, but they claim (rightfully so) landing a rocket.
People with basic scientific backgrounds will make the link with SpaceX and think: "wow, they've just done something that SpaceX hasnt been able to do so far, with less funds and less attempts..."
While this is comparing apples to oranges ofcourse.
Big congratulations to Jeff Bezos & Team, but it's still quite a big difference indeed
It appears stackEdit has a link where they advertise the classeur beta so I think they'll be moving to that platform. They appear very similar
I couldn't agree more!
If you've read the Phoenix Project, it clearly states DevOps solves the problem of bottlenecks, which is the single most important aspect in the Product Development lifecycle. You just can't have developers waiting anymore for Ops to do something, or vice versa... Shit needs to go fast and blocking factors need to disappear, or else you sacrifice agility
They are trying their best to do away with the region-restricted content and are trying to provide all their content anywhere in the world, so sit tight and subscribe again when they do! :-)
Well, I hadn't even heard of TMDB before, and now I do, thanks to movies.io, so they must be doing something good!
And there you summarize what the OP was trying to say: When the customer tries this on you, don't just agree without a 'fight'. Challenge your customer and open up the conversation about your value for them and try to come to an understanding which benefits both!
