Computer Musings by Professor Donald E. Knuth

The microservices knowledge is the interesting stuff and transfers to the more complex hard to maintain things people build elsewhere. The infra stuff is generally toil you can figure out if you must. Keep at it or look for places using better infrastructure abstractions. (ok ok, I worked on CF so biased but feel your pain)

I think long term the java spring stuff will shoe horn you more than CF stuff but there’s plenty of work there.

Everyone wants a scapegoat and easy answers where there are none. That said SF government is provably corrupt (and every couple years someone goes down) but the Chesa recall is a side show.

Typical credit card transactions fees range from 1.5-3.5 percent so the 2 percent is not a terrible deal and businesses usually just eat it in retail and work it into the prices.

Usually there is language in the contract with the processor agreement that prevents businesses from charging different prices for credit card vs non credit card buyers.

I mean, “don’t leave stuff in your car” is a pretty basic tenant of parking on the street in any big city… but yeah, it’s kinda as described and has been for at least a decade or more.

I don’t agree with this. Once it starts to click a bit, if you enjoy it, it’s not hard to make progress. Build things that excite you and keep at it. Don’t just study for the sake of studying - create things you want to use. Take the leap before you think you’re ready (waiting was my mistake) and apply for things that might be challenging or you feel you’re under qualified for.

(Ps. I’m a native English speaker and a terrible speller)

Don’t give up if it’s what you want to do. It took me about 10 years to make the switch from IT/network guy and another 12 being a dev to become a director of eng.

Btw, I’m hiring Python inclined people with strong Linux and distributed system experience to work on rockets. If this interests folks please get in touch.

If you want to run my favorite industrial strength ci system you can look at https://concourse-ci.org

Gives you the ability to install workers on Mac so you can do iOS builds if you like. Google around for concourse ci iOS for articles.

There are multiple ways to deploy concourse but the components are just go binaries when it comes down to it.

(Also, it’s probably overkill but you asked. I don’t know how apples ci system fairs today. It was always a bit rough in the past)

Perhaps it will show folks how their product and business decisions affect people day to day and improve the experience for everyone. As of now DoorDash is a service I won’t use and definitely won’t work for due to their terrible labor policies and replacing one bad tipping policy with another.

Interested to try it out. As someone who’s done a good bit of pair programming this way with tmux+vim on a cloud vm I’d love to hear what the advantages are over that kind of setup and the differentiators from tmux or screen.

If they don’t do a direct listing maybe they’ll let some old timers get in on the IPO like Airbnb did for hosts. Lurking for 16 years has to count for something right? :)

For these kinds of questions your age and at least country/state would help us orient and provide better help if that’s what you’re looking for.

But no, it’s not all a nightmare. But some jobs/managers/products certainly are. Never had a job in this industry I regretted moving on from.

Take some of that money and pay for some therapy and talk about this stuff. Not meant to be a flippant comment - it’s genuinely the best thing you could do for yourself and your wife in this situation. Be prepared to fire therapist that don’t click though. Also, try and renegotiate commitments you’ve made to yourself and people in your personal and professional life. You can improve your situation!
