Any tax on wealth i will forever and always disagree with. People don’t see its just a setup for the eventual tax your children will be paying as it becomes normalized and inflation makes 10 million the new 1 million.

Is HN just reddit now? The comments on this are beyond stupid and add nothing of value or thought.

O look another amazing and riveting discussion on emerging technology with real world implications… o wait it’s just a bunch of cranky people complaining about crypto.

Where did you draw that conclusion? Because nothing in the article or reality would lead one to believe that.

… i can’t think of a faster way to lose support from others.

Maybe spend a little less time reading propaganda.

Platform teams also need to make calls where the experience might be worse for some but collectively better for the company.

This is normally where you see the product engineers start to freak out.

What is the difference between print debugging and logging? With most deployments setups now days you can pipe prints to some logging solution anyways.

Just use jsonnet if you want this IMO. No need to change json into yaml.

Why would it be sold cheaper in Mexico when you can go on a dex and trade it for any number of tokens and cash it out. This just doesn’t make sense and im not signing up to read their stupid articles.

Likely this will be upvoted here though because it paints crypto in a negative light. Enjoy HN.

Have you never worked at a multinational company?

Hard disagree on this. Large production apps that use channels have very subtle bugs that cause all kinds of annoying issues that only come up under load in prod. I have been using go for ten years and still pick it as my language of choice for most projects however I stay away from channels and especially any complex use of them unless it’s 100% required to scale the application. Even then you can most of the time come up with a better solution by re architecting that part of the application. For pet projects go crazy with them though.

I won’t lie it’s been really fun to watch. I was so sick of all the self righteous posts they had going before the elections.

I think this had very little to do with it. From the people I have talked with and also just looking at the latino vote i think people greatly underestimate how many people actually want our immigration system changed as well as being absolutely sick of identity politics.

Also your view that dumb voters led to this is counter productive and insulting. It is what I am seeing in almost every reddit post as well. “Well people are just too dumb to know what they need”… yeah ok.

I agree but i think HN does a somewhat Ok job with the upvoting system. Well at least compared to reddit which is in a full blown meltdown because their bubble popped.

Its funny. Even after this happens the comments continue to keep the echo chamber going instead of wanting to understand how this happened. Until the DNC has an honest conversation with itself this will just keep happening.

It is because they are literally just doing what they are paid for. I would love if ever time i hit my sprint goals i got tipped by my employer or better yet what is actually happening is they should tip me at the start of the sprint in order to be in my good favor so i don’t bomb the sprint.

This is the world we live in. Where everyone now feels like they have to give someone extra money just because they showed up to work. Better yet is shitty waiters who have a built in 20% tip. The entire thing pisses me off.

I use to enjoy going to restaurants and would tip easily over 20% because i would get awesome service. Now you are paying that in hopes they don’t spit in your food next time you show up.

I stopped going out to eat because the entire industry is full of assholes now who think they deserve your money. I still follow a lot of people who work in the industry on social media from 5 years ago when i would frequent a lot of nice restaurants. The kind of shit they post is just completely toxic “why are you even coming out to eat if you don’t tip over 20% type crap”.

Sounds like IAM for the OS and we all know that just leads to wild card permissions everywhere because the developer doesn’t know what they need

I started as a swe at a startup and then just made my job fixing our AWS and deployments going from hand deploys on EC2 to docker containers on some of the first versions of rancher.

After that I was hired at a FANG company and worked on automating data centers and service deployments as well as a ton of other stuff. Now I pretty much just go setup infra teams for people I used to work with who are at various small to medium startups.

So I don’t have a great answer for you but I would say staying away from anything where all they can tell you is “k8s” “terraform” and stuff that boils down to writing yaml or some config language all day. Additionally if you can’t get a good idea of where the company is today in the interview and where they would like to go it’s going to be sys admin stuff. In all my interviews i lay out where we currently are and all the issues that causes and go over where we want to be in a year from now and what things need to be done to get there. At the end you should feel like you fit into some part of that.

It is amazing how many hiring managers can’t give you a coherent picture of that. If all they can say is we need k8s, docker, infra as code and other buzz words without a plan the team is setup to fail.

The other way is just apply for platform eng or sre jobs at FANG and friends which will almost never be sys admin stuff although it can happen sometimes if they are listed for a team that works on the corporate side of the business.

Same. If they want front end help don’t hire the guy who is telling you they don’t do front end. Have to take OP at their word here but if that is true the company just sounds like a place you don’t want to work anyway.

If you hate front end as much as OP does. I do as well. Just switch to infra/platform engineer. No one ever talks to me about front end unless it’s to deploy the application.

Meetings are about to get a whole lot longer

I still live in denver but in the very outer burbs. I moved from market st about a year ago and it is so much better out here. Denver needs to gets its downtown under control. I used to love nightlife and going out to bars but after 2023 when places were all open again I never went out again as it didn’t feel safe after 9pm.

Really hoping they turn it around.

It is not but i know two people who are named that. The jokes get old and it’s even worse when you have the stupid devices go off all the time when people use their names. One of them just switched to using their middle name because they got so sick of it.

I hope the product burns. For the simple fact that it was such a huge oversight to use a popular human name for a home assistant product. Really just such an extremely stupid thing to do.

The mental gymnastics going on in this thread to justify this as a sane design is likely why software sucks more and more these days.

But a fork is really not a branch. it’s a copy of a repo with one remote pointing at the original on github but that doesn’t need to happen.

Holy shit. What a joke of a company.

I love how my comment gets flagged for pointing out the original rage bait headline. Then the headline is changed. What a bunch of shit.

You don’t need to be a doctor or therapist to let people know that some people can have very bad reactions and it’s not all roses.

I see the same thing happening in people smoke marijuana where any claim that it can have harmful effects for some or with abuse is met with “yeah well what do you know, i read this other thing and i never had issues myself”.
