Disagree. A ticket should be created for any change, no matter how small. It takes seconds to write a title, body and hit submit. I've seen those small ad-hoc changes cause havoc b…

You can! At least with GitLab. Our pipelines are written in Python, and generate YAML that kick off child-pipelines. It's fairly trivial and works really well. Having for-loops and…

Nah, Ibuprofen definitely affects the kidneys. It's on my mental list of medications never to try again. It always leaves me writhing in pain (thought it was my lower back that was…

Could not disagree more. For entertainment purposes, I've installed neovim with `brew install neovim`. Opened a small project with `nvim ~/projects/whatever`, and am presented with…

When job hunting, I'll skip those companies that require me to type out my resume. That's why I wrote the resume in the first place. Similar feelings towards those that want it in …

Am I sure? No, haha. Maybe I don't understand stove terminology. I thought induction were the metal coils that turn red. Maybe induction is different than a regular electric?

Disagree. The coils on an induction take way longer to heat up than gas, I've gone through that frustration. How can you beat instant fire? The top of it was always scratched which…

Criminals use dollars, not crypto. You would not want to use a technology whose main selling point is a permanent, public ledger of all transactions.

I hate PDF's with a passion. Not once have I ever wanted to use one. All the pinching and zooming, such a waste of time. I'm giving this a shot next time I need one, the whole scan…

You beat me to it, was going to say the same. It's always a few bad actors that try and hammer our servers, gets annoying real fast. I'd honestly block them and move on, I don't ha…

Yes! Was going to say the same. Kubernetes is far easier to learn than some random bespoke setup. After reading the article, it just sounds like they reinvented the wheel but made …

It's such a confusing slogan (probably on purpose, like most things political). I thought it meant to abolish the police. Even a quick search defines it as "prevent from continuing…

I've gotten into the habit of manually creating a backup of the state file: # to view the state file $ aws s3 cp --quiet s3://terraform/production/terraform.tfstate /dev/stdout # t…

CloudFormation is too limited. I imagine most companies use much more than AWS. Off the top of my head, we use Cloudflare, PagerDuty, GitLab, etc all of which have Terraform provid…

I'll chime in. When I first used Terraform, it was described as this tool that would create resources in a cloud agnostic way. That's still possible, but not the main focal point. …

This is scary to read, as I've been there. All my friends know not to give me Tylenol. I think on two occasions now I had slight pain and took maybe two or three extra strength Tyl…

I actually don't use Twitter much because of this. I'll lurk for sure, but I'm more active on Snapchat where I know all my thoughts and photos will be gone. You ever see those folk…

It took forever, but I finally made the switch a month or two ago. Firefox Quantum had promised to fix performance issues on the MacBook Pro, but tons of users (myself included) we…

It blows my mind that someone that makes more money than me, pays less taxes than me. Why? Well, I know why, but why is it like this? I don't care if my neighbor has more money tha…

From my experience, the hardcore Unix folks should stick to jobs that highlights that type of knowledge. If you join an AWS shop, you're never going to dig into low level things li…
