Most ascii/unicode based diagrams spit out by AI have misaligned boxes, similar to the ones generated in the article.

I’m not affiliated, but to clean them up you can use something like ascii-guard (https://github.com/fxstein/ascii-guard) which is a linter that will clean it up. Beats doing it by hand after multiple attempts telling AI to do it and repeatedly fail.

Graphtage is a command line utility and underlying library for semantically comparing and merging tree-like structures such as JSON, JSON5, XML, HTML, YAML, and TOML files.

Bloomreach | Backend Engineer, Solutions Architect, Solutions Consultant | Full-time, onsite | Dallas, TX

The platform team I am part of at Bloomreach is looking for two backend engineers to join our current team of 7.

We are responsible for getting reliable and high quality digital experience data from the largest commerce brands on the internet into Bloomreach with low latency. This is the core data depended upon to power our search, recommendations, analytics, and insights systems.

Bloomreach is unique in Dallas in that we are one of only a handful of successful Silicon Valley startups with a local presence building core software products. We aren’t a legacy large enterprise, we aren’t a consulting shop, and we aren’t a fly-by night startup.

Responsibilities

- Own and operate BloomReach’s Hadoop-based search indexing pipelines

- Build infrastructure and tools to increase automation, improve efficiency of the engineering team, and maintain technical excellence in the code base

- Write and review code, develop documentation, and debug production issues

Who you are

- You have a strong background in developer operations and reliability engineering

- You are comfortable working with and contributing to complex distributed systems, in a cloud native environment, such as AWS

- You are at home with unix, tcp/ip, the JVM, and observability systems

- You can code in at least one scripting language and one non-scripting language

- You can configure and support common applications such as Postgres, DNS, HAProxy, NFS, SFTP

The Dallas engineering office was started four years ago. The office soon expanded to nearly all other functions, including sales, marketing, professional services, customer success, and information security. Today there are total of 40 of us.

We are located at 2211 N. Lamar in the historic coffee roaster building in Victory Park, just north of Downtown, with convenient access to all transit lines and major highways. We cater lunch on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, with a fully stocked snacks and drinks.

I’d highly encourage you to reach out directly and say hi and we can strike up a conversation: stormy@bloomreach.com.

We also have opportunities on our professional services team as a Solutions Architect and Solutions Consultant and I’d gladly refer you to those opportunities.

In the linked example for the tutorial, I see there is a "gRPC" label for the links inside the two region groups, however, I am not seeing that label show up anywhere on the diagram. Is that expected behavior?

Other than that, very promising project and the vi keybindings are a nice touch.

Howdy. BloomReach’s Platform team has two Dallas spots open for software engineers. If you love to get your hands dirty with web-scale data infrastructure projects, give me a ping (I’m on the team).

https://www.bloomreach.com/en/about/careers/development/soft...

Current infrastructure tech we’re using (non-exhaustive): solrcloud, kafka, c*, spark, emr, redis all deployed and managed on aws.

If BloomReach is new to you: we’re a product and engineering driven company, headquartered in Mountain View, CA, with a Dallas office of 15 people just north of downtown by House of Blues. We opened up shop here 2 years ago. Most of our products revolve around search, analytics, personalization, and content management and power many of the biggest brands online.

I’ve been part of the company for 6 of it's 9 years and I’m just as excited as when I started. We’re coming off a crazy Q4 and 2017 where we unseated large and entrenched competitors with 2 of our new products. For what its worth, both products are well-placed in Gartner’s 2018 magic quadrant for their respectitve categories.

Our founder and CEO, Raj, built the company with a goal to make BloomReach the most impactful professional experience of each employee’s career. I can attest to that so far. You’re going to be hard pressed to find a better place to work in Dallas for software eng.

And if you’re not the engineer type, we also have Solution Architect, Solution Engineer, Senior PM, Senior Sales Analyst, and Sales Development Rep positions open in Dallas too (check career pages for those or message me stormy@bloomreach.com).

On Affinity Designer's site the price is $39.99, so even more reasonable.

What I would consider one of the most important pieces of this guide is closer to the bottom (https://github.com/open-guides/og-aws#aws-data-transfer-cost...) where it covers cost management strategies. The Data Transfer Costs diagram makes the buried details of AWS networking costs stand out in a digestible way. I've read the AWS docs on this many times and still missed out on some of the nuggets exposed in the diagram.

Easiest way to answer is with Quora itself: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-story-behind-Stormy-Shippy...

Unless their policy has changed, it's a temporary restriction of the account until the user helps work with a mod to verify the name.

Happened to me way back in 2010, because my real name sounds terribly fake: Stormy Shippy

As testament to doing things that didn't scale, Ooshma turned up to my apartment in Palo Alto a couple of years ago (mid-2013) to fix a botched order. Ultimately, the switch to dinner kits wasn't for my family, but I always remember that occasion as a great example of the principle.

We're consistently voted one of the best Bay Area companies to work for, and I can safely say we'll be the best in Dallas.

If the above roles don't fit you, but you're in Dallas/DFW area looking to do something new on a small team with bay area culture, I'd still encourage you to reach out and start a conversation.

BloomReach — Dallas, TX — Full Time — On Site

What's the best experience you've ever had developing against a third-party API?

I'm an engineer on BloomReach's Platform team and we're always trying to answer that question while we create the interfaces that many of the internet's largest retailers connect against to power their business.

We've recently expanded our presence to Dallas and are actively looking to hire a Full Stack, Frontend, or Product Engineer. This is a full-time, on-site position in a highly visible and impactful role at the company.

You'll be working with all product teams across BloomReach to define, design and develop a modern web api developer console and experience.

If you've ever tried to deconstruct how companies like Stripe, Twilio, Heroku, and Github make their platform pleasant to develop against, you should reach out. Meals on me.

As one of the early hires in the Dallas office, you'll also get to help define the Texas strain of BloomReach's vibrant startup culture.

Salary is very competitive and we offer hefty bonus + equity portions as well. We don't have a req on our site, but this Mountain View based opening would be pretty similar (http://bloomreach.com/jobs/?gh_jid=73290).

Not directly on my team, but we've also got a Solutions and Support Engineer role open in Dallas (http://bloomreach.com/jobs/?gh_jid=188875). Would be happy to chat about that as well.

Hard to beat the on-boarding experience—just input your number and get going. I like the thought that went into making it as simple as possible.

The response times seem instantaneous, which given what's going on under the hood, probably wasn't the easiest to accomplish. The speed went a long way to keep me engaged and trying new queries. What tech stack does any given query hit and what pieces needed the most focus to keep request latency low?

My major question is, when would I use this over Siri?

Siri is usually good enough for the same types of queries I tried. Good enough and faster access to Siri will probably make my use of something like Myra limited in current form.

For a more concrete example, if I am in the Mission and I don't know what's good to eat, I'll hold down my home button on the iPhone and ask siri: "restaurants in the mission". From there it's easy to get into Yelp and then do all my further refinements and actions without needing to text or form any more natural language queries.

Now, if future functionality is in place that gets over that 'good enough' barrier, I think this is on to something.

Kudos.
