We get a flat ~800$ for an on call week (Thursday to Thursday) and Friday is off. Nothing extra for working night, but you’re not expected to work a full day if you had an incident the night before.

Back in my late teens/early twenties me and some friends talked about starting an industrial band (think Neubauten...) and calling it Slashignore.

I now own slashignore.it for our break through, any year now...

For larger environments infrastructure drift is a much bigger headache then that Terraform has to store a json blob somewhere. Having a combination of state and reading running state (like Terraform does) is crucial to have a tool that can scale for large environments.

We don't, the maintenance cost in man hours was way to high and replacing it with AWS Aurora made it at least as reliable with a lot less overhead.

On the plus side we can do ad hoc tests and experiments by creating a new Aurora cluster with a recent snapshot and try things out.

Just like developers cobble together apps that are barely operable. Hard coding IP addresses, opening connections with no timeouts, and lacking basic understanding what the difference is between DNS and HTTP.

Don’t be, doing SRE internships will give you the most comprehensive introduction to all aspects of developing and operating software. For me when reviewing candidates that would be a huge plus.

I'm trying to write something snappy, but honestly you're just rude. Your shitting on my profession and from here it looks like you've only ever operated extremely simple production environments.

(Those examples, the real world ones, where from competent software developers that did product development, not operations people).

What I've seen is that when you get a real programming language for IaC you'll end up with a half assed, poorly implemented and documented version of a declarative DSL that is organization specific.

I saw it with early versions of Chef, I've seen it with Apache Auroras python based job specs for Mesos etc.

I'd rather work around the limitations of a DSL that is declarative and limited but is consistent across orgs than having to retrain myself if I move to a new job.
