Yes but parts of it must live in the dev environment. CI by its very nature runs untrusted code. That is very hard to secure. Keep it away from production, production artifacts and…

That might have been the promise but never the real value. As you say in practice the engineer needs to know ops & terraform along side their language of choice. The real value of …

Oxygen is a hell of a drug. I use nose strips, and I'm addicted now too.

100%. Said as an Aussie who has been living in the states for a decade

It's cool to see Australian values & parenting techniques propagating into American society. Our conquest will be complete soon :)

Probably. GPT3.5 was really good at writing unit tests. I asked it to unit tests for some typescript code using jest and aws-sdk-mock. It did it as I would do. I really couldn't fa…

Energy is life. But we've had commercial nuclear for over half a century. We as a society just chose to pollute instead of dealing with the real / not real risks associated with nu…

I didn't interpret the OP's comment to suggest a specific order of invention, but an order of adoption / influence in a society.

IMO Netflix and Amazon Prime's problem is they don't surface their good content enough. They mix it with their shitty content. They should make it stand out. HBO are good at this. …

Can we develop a nuclear salt water rocket already? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_salt-water_rocket Scott Manley video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvZjh…

You've made a very good point. All new software/systems I build will use TAI64. As an industry we should just push this move ourselves

As much a fan of Terraform I am. If you didn't started defining your repos in Terraform from day 0, importing hundreds of repos, members, permission sets would be quite a lot more …

That further improves the analogy. Even though we all agree washing hands is important and saves lives, it still doesn't happen on occasion.

You can put your keys in source control if you are encrypting them with another key which is not in source control. Otherwise you're doing it wrong.

You're jumping to conclusions in your final statement there. The existence of inexcusable bad practices does not mean we should not try to mitigate against them, and I didn't say w…

That's certainly a good idea. But the secrets shouldn't be in the codebase to begin with, certainly not production secrets. Production secrets should stay in production and no one …

Doctors used to not wash their hands too. I get it though, and i've seen the same thing. Really it comes down to education and not granting access to secrets to people who aren't c…

I'm not going to disagree with that and I'm not opposed to the privacy controls in GDPR. The context here in a solo dev who is dealing with GDPR. When you're trying to get a busine…

Those three are not all equal. "Production keys in source control" is the equivalent of a surgeon not washing their hands between between surgeries. It's basic level of professiona…

Australia has had a lot of asset inflation and is only recently starting to show in the consumer prices. eg afaik house prices are not included in the CPI

If I was starting a startup today. I'd probably just block Europe and focus on other markets initially. Loop back on Europe once you have product market fit and the resources to de…

I've never played EVE Online, but that is a not because I don't want to. It's basically the game I dreamed about as a kid. And I know if I play, I will want to win, but you can't w…

You're talking like managing stateful services in an ephemeral environment is as simple as installing and configuring Postgres. Postgres is its self is 1% of the consideration here…

I don't understand what they do to prevent the things they rant about. It's like the drunk uncle payment processor. Sure there are legitimate grievances to address with the current…
