    theyve been marketed as a serious competitor to vmware for 15 years. their sales reps mightve just not found you until recently. but we did a poc with them 10 years ago and i dont …

    everything will eventually go to zero. we look at some of these things and laugh because we're pretty sure they're going to go to zero within weeks or months vs years. but by the e…

    these deals are made as part of a market so it's more like musical chairs where every time you change a chair you get a ton of money but you don't want to be the one that's stuck w…

    who has discouraged "sucking it up"? what systemic policies have changed to accommodate this? as far as I can tell, someone can explain how they're the victim to anyone and everyon…

    everyone is the Magnus Carlsen of their own life, though. and humans are irreplaceable. sure, budget decisions are made that cause people to have to go find another employer. but t…

    why do they always say "not only" or "it isn't just x but also y and z"? I hated that disingenuous verbosity BEFORE these LLMs out and now it'll all over the place. I saw a post on…

    I think the author didn't account for different types of engineering orgs at different points in their lifecycle. "just fix it" at an enterprise massive company as a junior is fine…

    commentary from first time staff engineers should be taken with a grain of salt because they can be silly trying to prove themselves. same as first time people managers with an eng…

    I think there's a theory out there that if something can't die, it's more of a "library" than "immortal"... because being born and dying (and the fact that you sharing resources wi…

    that's not my point - my point is it would not have gotten the adoption it has without etcd and the fact that it was resilient and scalable out of the box

    not exactly a fair assessment since neither of those were out and/or available to the kubernetes team at the time. sure, some things at many times from now into eternity may be or …

    etcd is also the entire point of k8s. that it's a single self-contained framework and doesn't require an external backer service. there is no kubernetes without etcd. much of the "…

    he's definitely disingenuous, though. I think the "cancel" situation was cringe but the guy posts nativist musings about London and then acts apolitical. look, I get it. the first …
