16K profit in three years? That is chump change.

Absolutely

"We laid off most of the team despite record profits and need free labor to maintain what remains"

Let's hear it!

Same.

... and kubernetes networking, service mesh, secrets management

So the tl:dr is that they took a risk and never tested their high availability setup.

I think what Adam Jacob is doing with system initiative addresses this, right off the get go.

Massive scale*

This smells like "Industry best practices"

Same. I could totally relate. Comfortable isolation sounds blissful.

After a long day I tend to zone out and my partner tells me it's like they're talking to a wall.

The siloing causes tons of issues from what I have observed.

Why do we need a two month lead time now to ship a new static page?

How could we have drifted so far that we need kubernetes for that?

How is it possible that we need a platform team to build yet another later of abstraction from our cloud providers?

Why do we have more yaml than the code we're shipping?

I don't agree with this generalization for good communication "In my experience more extroverted and “chaty” engineers have it better on average."

Often times we conflate loud communication with good communication. In my personal experience there are lots of verbose individuals that are poor communicators.

Either is fine IMO. I'd personally be more interested to have the person walk through their decision process than seeing the end result. Always fascinating to have someone explain it. If they copied and pasted it and hadn't been forthcoming it'll be obvious once the discussion gets to the meatier parts.

Love Nebula, keep up the good work!

Do you thing the tech landscape today would have allowed for nebula to be born? Lots of companies now have strict IP agreements they have team members sign.

Whoa. So they're 5 years ahead of everyone else?

Requires sign-in. Are there any links that don't require sign-in?

Meant to post this link instead - https://reddit.com/r/devops/s/X5L2AeT5tn

This is interesting. I could foresee this, "Made in Japan, with imported materials (see SBOM)"

Still very much unregulated in many parts of the world. The cleaning standards in the last two airbnbs I was at were an absolute nightmare.

Looks like OP copied and pasted the entire article from somewhere else. https://medium.com/@mbianchidev/2023-devops-is-terrible-ec88...

Underrated comment

DevOps just makes the problem worse which it is intended to solve. DevOps started from "deploying is too hard, and the developers don't know how to run complicated shell scripts to deploy our software to release, anyone should be able to deploy it and have it scale!". However, most companies started to cargo-cult Google and just built everything in the "most scalable" way, incurring tons of overhead, both in deployment friction and hardware costs, so we are back to DevOps being an almost completely separate field from software engineering, and the programmers still can't deploy software.

Absolutely this. Instead of collaborating to solve problems we are wasting time on pet projects.

Wow that is some serious horsepower.

But why? Is there a reason we couldn't use a MDM?

There should be additional maintainers that are not affiliated with Hashicorp competitors.

But... What about BIMI

Running up against this with teammates that equate being highly detailed to being highly intelligent.

I enjoy being wrong and asking questions if it leads us to a better place.

Using something like vaultwarden? I'm curious how do you keep it secure from intrusion? I'm looking to do the same

The official bitwarden self hosted setup works flawlessly. Hosting it at home and access it through tailscale.
