Role looks super interesting and would love to work for Space tech, even though I have no specific experience in the domain.
I want to get fired from my job search. We'll have to see if SSDI (been about 6 months since applying) or a job opportunity comes through first.
Books have been replaced by DVDs at my library. I spent almost all my time at a book store for a year in Austin and can count the number of active readers I saw in there on one hand. It's depressing.
CloudFormation and ECS are bright yellow flags for me. I'd be interested in knowing why you went with this proprietary tooling vs the open source Terraform and Kubernetes/EKS alternatives. Also, is paid relocation available if I wanted to relocate to NYC? Currently in Charleston, SC.

That sounds absolutely terrifying.
Specifically because it generates Terraform code along with the diagrams, but I guess it's not the selling point that I thought it would be.
I launched a draw.io competitor to the point that it is in production, but there is little activity on the site as far as signups are concerned. Doesn't deliver enough business value.
Q+a interview talking about past experience on the resume and quiz format of various technologies. The quiz format gets on my nerves, but not as much as leetcode and live coding rounds.
Interesting. I am going for a broad search rather than being targeted. Maybe it's as you say, an industry specific problem. At my last fintech job they just quizzed me a bit on Terraform and asked me about experience, though that role ended up being a disaster later on.
They don't, at least in the SRE space. I have been interviewing for 6 months without a single coding challenge or LeetCode-type challenge. Though I would passively avoid companies that offer them, as in I would avoid them if offered, I have yet to be offered the chance to avoid it in an interview.
Definitely this. I like seeing issues reasonably populated with OSS projects. Otherwise, how am I supposed to contribute back to it? Granted it's a newer project so I will be keeping track in the future.

Love learning about crossplane and diving into its internals, so I am working on fixing issues it has on its "issues" page in GitHub.

Not a fan of their curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh - installation method. Kind, on the other hand, has multiple installation methods, including via wget for their binary: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installing-f....
You open to adding a new mentee to the mix? I have 10 years of XP and looking to grow doing DevOps work.

LE has some gnarly rate limiting rules, so I use ZeroSSL. Works out great for my purposes.
https://github.com/elliotechne/soc2 is a SOC2 compliance checker using checkov and Terraform. Using it with https://github.com/elliotechne/tfvisualizer.

Thank you so much! Thankfully I have a good support system, so it's not all bad news. It mostly just means I have to avoid RTO by any means necessary because I have no idea if symptoms might emerge in the middle or end of a work day. Working on positive ways to manage it in therapy so that's good news as well.
Obstruction of justice (???), simple battery of a police officer (I ran into a police officer while trying to flee).
I developed a new set of symptoms that I did not have before jail. Cartoons and characters saying different things as voices when I get overly self conscious about certain things.
I've tried the consultancy route, but I am just not good enough at marketing myself to develop repeat business. I have an Upwork profile and tried freelancing for a bit, but it's just not worth having to purchase "connects" to initiate a bid proposal and time and again not be selected for the work (yes, I add in a cover letter message on every proposal).
