Thanks for creating this. However, I was a bit puzzled when I found a packages.json and then saw that all the heavy lifting is done from bash. I don't understand the need for havin…

Yes, at least conceptually. However, CDK is more opinionated, uses Cloudformation and depends on its own CLI.

I'm working on a side project which is a Python library that provides of an abstraction layer to manage infrastructure in cloud providers by interacting with their APIs. This is so…

I can relate to this. I used to be on call for many years and honestly, it destroyed my mental health. In the last company I did it, it felt like falling in a meat grinder for a we…

I hate flying with passion and get extremely scared when flying through turbulences but, there was a journalist in my country, that also had experience as a pilot and said once on …

Same thing happened to me when I moved to the UK: I went to the supermarket, bought one jar or Marmite, went back home, had a toast with it expecting to have some sweet-close-to-ch…

I don't get your point. I just use two ways: 1. With mouse -> Up left corner (a.k.a hot corner) -> Click on the window I want. 2. With keyboard -> Alt + Tab -> Select the window I …

It's just a personal thing. I try to stick to using tools that provide me the best defaults + being open source. I don't want to spend time customizing my desktop or getting overwh…

I like its simplicity and the straight forward workflow it provides. Years ago, I used to use KDE and enjoyed it but these days, I want something that is functional while being van…

My conclusion is that this "chaotic scenario" happens when humans work in big groups. It's extremely hard/pretty much impossible to coordinate big group of humans and made them to …

Where I work, we use Confluence and Backstage. Confluence sucks and Backstage, although I conceptually consider it appealing, sucks too.

Would be this something that can be avoided by setting up BitLocker with the encryption password to be provided at boot time by the user? Because that's the way I've always configu…

I've never used it although I've been aware of its existence for a long time. It's great to see a tool actively developed that uses a boring-yet-great-and-well-known framework (Dja…

I've been using Firefox on the PC and phone for years now. I had the temptation a couple of years ago to use Chrome due to some issues I had on Linux (I don't remember what exactly…

> Devs have no business doing it. Agree but, I have to say that, as a DevOps, it was infuriating to me to have to deal with developers without any care for the quality of what they…

On call sucks so badly. At this point of my life, I firmly believe that there's not enough amount of money that can compensate the mental suffering it implies. Even more if the com…

Yes. I've been a long time Linux PC user (Thinkpads and Dell mostly) so without any shame, I have to admit that the quality of Apple devices is miles ahead anything else I've tried…

I don't have an M[1-3]{1} right now but as soon as hear that Linux is usable on it I'm gonna purchase one right away.

IMHO and I might be entirely wrong but placing and coupling all that logic into the database seems like a bad idea and it's not a question of speed, it's a question of separating r…

"To fight terrorism" usually is the second.

IMHO, I haven't tried Windows 11 yet but having to disable system updates for being able to preserve user configuration says all I need to know about the quality and moral behind t…
