That's cool. When I envision banks, I see stuffy suits and offices, getting stuck waiting months to work on something because of beaurocracy, etc. Maybe I'm listening too much to s…

How about B2 combined with Cloudflare? Egress from B2 to Cloudflare is free and egress from Cloudflare to the internet is free for their free plan, and perhaps competitive on their…

Yeah... I'm not really sure where this idea of not being able to use the tools available out of the box to deploy apps and do networking comes from. I deploy YAML. If I feel like m…

That sounds neat. I feel like I'd take that offer. 4x8hr for 80% of my current salary. I guess we'd just have to make sure the rest of the company can be productive during the 5th …

Somehow, it's gotten me promotions and raises. I feel like I'm lucky and should stick around.

Apparently they used to be quite different problems, but with today's focus on "performance per watt-hr" as the most important metric, they've merged together. GCP's new AMD CPUs a…

sighs Time to buckle down and learn how to make non-trivial things with Python. I was putting this off as long as I could.

If I recall correctly, GAE is an example of something they made specifically to be a cloud product. Products like Compute Engine, GCS, Bigtable, and Pub/Sub are things developed in…

That's not a bad idea. You could set it up to delete all Lambdas (assuming you've got a CI/CD system capable of redeploying them quickly later) if the billing goes over. Of course,…

This is a reasonable way of achieving the balance needed. My company would freak out if we had even a short outage that affected all our customers because we set a billing quota to…

Appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't know what to ask yet. I'm still pretty junior in the grand scheme of things. I plan to just keep an eye on how it develops.

It seems like Uncle Bob is becoming more out of touch each passing month these days.

> distance learning greatly reduces the instructor's workload Disagree based on my experience tutoring online. I had to prep and then spend my time with them on webcam. The story i…

Seems more like Cloud Run to me. A modest amount of vendor lock-in if you're only interested in running compute workloads, and the usual ton of vendor lock-in that is inherent to a…

By AWS Firecracker microVMs, do you mean AWS Lambda? Cloud Run is a managed service. It wouldn't be a good comparison to compare it to the Firecracker open source project. It would…
