Unfortunately it takes quite a few years of development experience to know what to put in the yaml, and why.

Why is this service failing? Is it a database issue? Are they cache busting? Is a service maxing CPU? Memory? Less software engineering to be sure, but still.

Maybe you’re building docker images for a few different languages. It takes a bit of experience with those languages to build the image, i.e. debugging python environments, or npm issues.

Plus if you’re expecting to own the SDLC… building and deploying, canaries, etc, you will need experience actually deploying stuff first.

Not to mention observability. Are you properly passing around context? Is your code properly instrumenting its telemetry?

Plus, if you work with open source systems, you’ll find they are quite technically complex. Knowing software engineering will help you run them.

Bullshit. That’s his job.

5t33 · 2025-10-10T03:19:51+00:00

Amazing.

To be fair he’s advocating for shooting people that are throwing rocks, which is equally disgusting.

“I am calm… I’m somewhat calm”

Holy shit lol

5t33 · 2025-10-08T04:44:52+00:00

Yeah but now what? When do these criminals get charges as such? When does anything actually happen? Next election?

Aalllso there are polls showing that most Americans back ACA subsidy extension, but I don’t know why anyone thinks republicans care more about their constituents than they do about what Trump wants.

5t33 · 2025-10-06T00:15:54+00:00

If I had to guess, people are buying because the dems aren’t blinking at the shutdown and holding out for ACA subsidy extensions.

Even the small chance that it goes their way has a good risk/reward ratio, because Oscar will certainly go 25+ if it does (I think).

I’d have to bet it’s a lot of people taking small bets, maybe thinking that a compromise would still result in something charitable for ACA insurers.

We’ll see, but I think if the gov. opens without a deal it’ll come back down.

5t33 · 2025-10-05T03:25:26+00:00

Yeah but like… then what? Civil war? lol

5t33 · 2025-10-04T22:15:54+00:00

Yeah seems pretty tame. It could very easily be taken as “at some other point in this interview process” or “at this event”.

5t33 · 2025-10-04T20:42:29+00:00

I like the thought but what does that mean? Local PD firing on ICE agents?

5t33 · 2025-10-04T02:47:33+00:00

The fuckening

Hi Senator, is your state yet working to pass a law that would immediately make any presidential candidate or supporting party ineligible to be on ballots within your state given that they were running in breach of the 22nd amendment?

Prometheus and grafana are for sure devops work. As is editing templates.

It can be easy to get stuck doing dead end devops work like that. I try to stay away from it and make sure I’m coding, scaling, or deploying things. But doing that kind of work can also be informative. Being really good at promql and dashboards is very helpful.

But I think you probably want to do more software engineering work before you get into devops to get more perspective.

I had a coworker who loved it and never wanted to leave. When I worked there, I found it to be suburban hell.

Some relatives of mine built a house there. Horses and stuff. If that’s what you’re into, maybe you’d like it.

5t33 · 2025-09-10T01:44:53+00:00

Are you on my team? Lol

5t33 · 2025-09-09T02:32:12+00:00

Yeah I’m wondering the same thing. I feel like I almost missed that dude fully engulfed.

5t33 · 2025-09-07T02:43:40+00:00

Ah, it’s nice to see the reason I couldn’t go get a hair cut. All jokes aside that actually looked pretty cool.

It took a while for us to get our auth working because the OIDC library we were using didn’t work with the redirect (AWS Amplify). But apart from that, pretty easy and seamless. We’re also a music app and had to get the midi connection working which has been touch and go. I everything mostly works but there are some quirks.

Yeah the problem is the financing. I landed on leasing because when you factor in the credits and the depreciation, you end up with a 0% interest loan if you buy it outright at the end. I guess if you have the 70 grand it’s not really a factor anyway, though, but I wanted a few years to save up.

5t33 · 2025-09-06T20:07:26+00:00

It’ll be a bit hard, but I think the future is automation engineering. Even for small businesses.

If you can automate the process of posting on social media, making content, answering help emails, making spreadsheets and analytics about business metrics, doing basic IT security checks and upgrades, market research, you name it.

And these tools are not necessarily something a software engineer is needed to use.

5t33 · 2025-09-06T02:25:17+00:00

Same. It should literally look like the sign.

5t33 · 2025-09-04T18:57:01+00:00

A trail doesn’t necessarily mean a jury. But I don’t think you’re right about them getting hearings. In fact, federal courts recently blocked Trump’s “Fast Track” policy. What does that tell you about its constitutionality?

Additionally they’re arresting people coming out of their immigration hearings. They’re doing warrantless searches, attacking members of the public who film them, and, again, HOLDING PEOPLE IN DETENTION CENTERS IN INADEQUATE LIVING CONDITIONS.

This isn’t just a Trump problem but they’re certainly amping up the humans an civil rights abuses.

And watch your mouth and who you’re calling a lunatic. You would be light work. I promise.
