Litestar seems to have a very active social outreach team while fastapi seems to have an active user base to me. It's strange to see how often it gets shilled for by its maintainer…

Given they backfill the first two years with grant value bonuses, this is irrelevant: the first two years just pay straight cash to make up those % to 100. First year is an up fron…

I think these kind of articles tend to have a fair amount of truth to them, but a lot of the anxiety etc is caused by the all out denigration of remote workers. People being consta…

They've delivered Goodheart's law in action - there is so little room to survive in a classroom today in England today as these same metrics are the measure of successful teaching.…

Context is key here, but as a thought experiment- the most profitable businesses can hire with effectively no limit if they choose. FAANG isn't a great proxy for that but it'll do …

From your multiple comments on threads it seems like your ego is strongly attached to your code - if you truly never, not even one time, derived value from a code review, either yo…

> simplified, vendor agnostic I just don't see this being true. Being "cloud agnostic" likely means it's an incredibly leaky abstraction where at the first sign of trouble, you're …

I know it's not the point the author is trying to make, but I couldn't help get the feeling this example isn't good enough to carry the point. from stdlib: from urllib.parse import…

Well there's not a great deal going on in somewhere like the middle of the Forest of Dean as far as software engineering challenges go - you do tend to have to go where businesses …

You can use the CLI and your terminal directly, as well as use SSH over SSM for proxying and SCP.

Have a look at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide... - in a lot of cases removes the need for a bastion and SSH keys at all

I empathize after two years in UK education. The working culture is almost cult like and self reinforcing - the Peter principle in action turns the best teachers at reinforcing the…

You absolutely can. Eating less calories than your basal metabolic rate (calories burned just to stay alive) means stored energy will be burnt and body weight will reduce.

>Google has a reputation for killing obscure consumer products It has a reputation for killing cloud products like classic VPNs in GCP too, a significant part of our cloud infrastr…

The difficulty of the article and of your example is active vs passive learning - watching and reading people with more experience is important, and I guess the spirit of the artic…

OVO are still hiring and planning growth this year: I'm not sure on the ettiquette of reffering people, but sounds like it might be of interest. Cloud first, lots of flexibility in…

Cloud agnostic in terms of using the best products from each service: sure. It makes sense to leverage the strengths of each cloud provider. Having all your infra written with shim…

Writing Terraform is easy - having it work after six month of features being delivered, the cloud provider evolving, and working with all your other microservices, isn't particular…
