Docker on M1 is a pain in the ass if you have to focus on x86 instead of ARM. Non arm docker builds take much much longer to the point that my 2016 Mac is faster than my M1. But if you live in arm land it's fine. Unfortunately, that's not me so I spend most of my time Ssh'd into an x86 Linux machine.

Yes, because each decision is based on a previous decision, often made by someone else. Sometimes, someone 5 steps back made an awful decision which necessitates making another decision that may also be wrong, but wrong in a way that could leave the next person able to make a correct one.

If I walk into a room and someone asks "how do I deploy this app to the edge" there's 1000 answers that will either be right or wrong depending on decisions about that apps design that were made long ago but will still impact how I have to deploy it.

No the strategy is associate drugs with minorities to make being a minority illegal.

Ehrlichman told Baum. "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

It's actually very straightforward

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying?" Ehrlichman told Baum.

You have a whole little human who will need your help to understand what the world is and how to survive it. You'll get to see them grow, learn, fuck up, laugh and become their own fully realized person. Love them, teach them, give them the agency and respect you would want them to give others. Congratulations, you're gonna do great

I've interviewed maybe 20 times in the last year and the best have always just started as a conversation about what a place is doing now, what they want to do in the future and how the candidates skills and experience can help them get there.

All the take-homes and whiteboards seemed like the interviewers special gotcha idea they'd been working on for maybe 10 seconds before asking me to do it and ended up full of holes, bad processes and generally showing more about them than anything.

One place that had no idea what devops was actually got upset I finished too quickly by making use of some FOSS tools and asked for a week to design a harder test. Huge red flag lol.

If you and your teams cant sit down and have one or two hour-long conversations with an engineer and get a good idea of if their skills and experience will help you - you're dysfunctional have bigger issues that you need to look inward about.

If your key leaks you have bigger problems. Passwords are just as vulnerable to those same problems. Both should be encrypted.

If you leave password enabled you need to harden the env as you be getting git by every script kiddy the second your public IP is ready.

You shouldn't be logging into these systems manually either - you should be provisioning them with the OS's default config tools like Ubiquiti or Cloud-init, storing the configs and creds in encrypted formats and the feeding them to chef/puppet/Ansible or any other configuration management tool.

Humans shouldn't be fucking with production systems, they should be making commits to git that are applied by automated systems.
