just explain your pattern. what you are saying means you have a leaky chain of custody and are fine with that, but you can show why i'm wrong.

This is so nice, and very generous. I would like to be able to self host this, and, while this is absolutely not the best way for you to monetize this thing, if you put it up for s…

It isn’t, but it’s not possible to get paid like that if your work isn’t a necessary component in the work that earns the company a lucrative payday.

A lot of people, who are on their way to doing truly professional work, have this epiphany. The place you need to get to is understanding that you are being asked to ensure a probl…

I agree with everything you're saying, and I think other archaeologists feel the same. My opinionated take is: I wouldn't want to use this space for the information that this tool …

I love it. A bit guided of assistance can really make all the difference.

It's not absurd, and it's also not gatekeeping. Why do you want a summary of the changes? The bulk of the information in a commit is the diff itself. The information that is not co…

The value of the space is the ability to glean the commit author's thoughts, at the time they committed it. This is extremely dissimilar to the thoughts of the author. The value of…

Some stuff is going to be provider-specific. Let me explain why we’re not talking about an 80/20 split. There’s no reason to treat something like a route53 record, or security grou…

Thanks for this article. It feels like a huge problem to discuss the nuance described here. There will be people who will carelessly create unmaintainable software, and they might …

This is entirely predicated on the issues this person experienced. Irrespective of whether or not devops teams end up with solutions that look like this, none of them are meant to.…

There were more peripherals to worry about, and fewer generic drivers. It's not like people are trying to individually purchase PCI sound/ethernet/modem/graphics; they just get the…

This is fantastic! Thank you for writing this and sharing it.

Okay, I hope so too. The article reads: Rodriguez said: “Facebook knows very well that they have no obligations under the act right now.” Your original post is full of your ideas, …

I can agree that there's more to a job than the salary, and it's totally cool to negotiate. When you make the salary ambiguous in order to make your sales pitch, you are being unre…

Cyberax, I missed my opportunity to reply to your comment, but I really appreciate it, and I wanted to find a way to get this back to you. The comment in question: "Well, I was one…

This seems to ignore the fact that the prices are consistently low if you are tracking the lesser used instance types/regions, even when talking explicitly within AWS. Why would th…

Why do you think this? “The whining is often just a (I don't want to say pathetic but, not socially adaptive) form of attempting social-belonging/bragging ("The movie sucked the bo…
