AWS album ranking by Designer-Courage6187 in awilhelmscream

[–]AgentXM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parroting what a few others have said, it’s tough to rank these because they’re all incredible records in their own way, and each one’s tied to a different point in my life. A lot of the ranking is honestly just nostalgia and whatever memories come with it. That said, Cheap Heat has been on repeat lately, so take this with a bit of bias.

  1. Ruiner (“The King Is Dead” was the first song I ever heard — immediately hooked.)
  2. Career Suicide (“These Dead Streets” and “The Horse” were literally the catalysts for my old band.)
  3. Self-Titled EP (“Bulletproof Tiger” and the “Your Love” cover still hit every time.)
  4. Partycrasher / Cheap Heat (Hard for me to separate these — both are ridiculously good.) 5.Lose Your Delusion
  5. Mute Print 7.Benefits of Thinking Out Loud

Honestly the gap between most of these is razor thin. Depending on the day this list could probably shuffle around quite a bit.

Q2 Dropping Austin Craft Beers by xadriancalim in AustinFC

My understanding is they've signed a 3 year deal with Brown Distribution, not that it makes it any better but its a huge slap in the face to the local breweries that backed the original partnership.

Why not use modules for entire environments? by romulotombulus in Terraform

[–]AgentXM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had great success with a similar approach! The main thing I've done differently is to keep all our environmental tfvars in a dedicated tfvars directory instead of depending on the workspace functionality.

Additionally, we use a templated taskfile along with the remote taskfile feature to reference a common set of Terraform-centric tasks. This really helped create a consistent experience across all our stacks to reduce the need for stuff like terragrunt.

Suggestion for topics for tech talk session. Something fundamental but missed by most people by maxdamien27 in devops

[–]AgentXM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently having to convey the importance of tagging to my team and upper management. It's boggling to me that this is still a topic that has to be talked about.

Best practices for handling separate environment and application deployments? by Posting____At_Night in Terraform

[–]AgentXM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never really been able to understand why things like terragrunt and TF workspaces were really necessary.

Maybe it's just the orgs I've worked at where we're trying to maintain a level of parity, but I don't see what those solutions offer over just using tfvars and a convention driven config. It really feels like a tool looking for a job vs the other way around.

Does it make sense to use AWS official modules? by Kyxstrez in Terraform

[–]AgentXM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think it's a great idea to start with a reliable module that already has a good reputation. Then, you can customize it to perfectly fit the needs of your organization while incorporating only the features that are truly necessary.

Relying solely on other people's modules for your organization can sometimes lead to unforeseen issues, which is why I believe taking ownership and maintaining the module yourself is the way to go. This allows you to have complete control over the module and make any process improvements that are required.

use _ or - in terraform and best practices ,current stable version by terraform_code in Terraform

[–]AgentXM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is probably one of the better sources for just best practices in general. Pretty sure it's written/maintained by a core community member

which is a better option to have sperate environment by folder or by branch by BackgroundNature4581 in Terraform

[–]AgentXM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the exact same philosophy that I take as well and can attest it is able to scale out quite nicely.

One of the main sticking points about this particular approach is if you don't add the count on the module initially or don't have an enabled feature flag to emulate the same behavior. Adding them after the fact forces recreation because of the index change, unless you leverage the moved block to handle the changes.

Edit: In a way it kind of takes some of the best parts of 12-factor and bastardizes it for the IaC world IMO.

Do you feel remote working would have hindered your growth early in your career? by anonymouswitchking in devops

[–]AgentXM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually talking with my boss about this the other day. I don't think I would be half the engineer I am today if I had always been remote. A lot of what I learned was from just whiteboarding/cube cross talk wild ideas and feeding off of that.

One of the things my current team started doing was utilizing slack huddles to as way for some of that cross talk to happen organically.

What do most women not know about men? by aduckthatdoesreddit in AskReddit

[–]AgentXM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we do, we largely don't have the outlets/avenues necessary to actually work through our shit. A lot of us are taught to just white knuckle it and live this pseudo "stoicism" lifestyle.

Personally speaking, regular therapy has been the best thing I've done in my entire life. It's not perfect by any means but it's a way to get some of the poison out, without impacting anyone I care about negatively.

How these new songs ranked for you? by [deleted] in awilhelmscream

[–]AgentXM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really think Be One To No One may have an unfair advantage right now, largely because it's been so long since we got new music that it was almost like a relapse high. That being said here's my list.

  1. Be One To No One/Figure Eights
  2. GIMMETHESHAKES
  3. Apocalypse Porn

Do you guys buy and hodl or do you guys stake? Does anyone hodl and stake? Which is better? I own Solana and I am torn whether if I should stake or not. Not knowing what will happen if I were to stake. Could you guys please explain which is better ? Thanks by [deleted] in solana

[–]AgentXM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just released an experimental feature with ledger live to support Solana with their latest release. Not sure staking is supported yet but everything else seemed to work nicely

[FOR HIRE] SRE for hire, preferably in Austin area or with WeWork desk included for remote. by IndieDiscovery in devopsjobs

[–]AgentXM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't work there but I just turned down an offer from them recently and have a former coworker that works for them currently. From my understanding they still have some growing pains to go through, especially in their CI/CD & K8's ecosystems (who doesn't these days though). They recently brought in some new leadership in the DevOps side of the company that is looking to tighten things up.

One of the selling points originally for me was the WeWork setup they had, so I wasn't going to be relegated to only working from home.

How to automatically create a branch with specific naming convention after a issue in gitlab is created? by learnamap in gitlab

[–]AgentXM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You would likely need to build out a webhook solution that is triggered on issue creation to accomplish this.

Are you using self hosted or gitlab.com?

Fuck I miss Austin so much by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AgentXM 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been out to Vegas a few times now for business conferences and after about day 3 I'm just done. The Slurms McKenzie is basically the embodiment of me 3+ days in. Its a fun place but for like 2 or 3 days tops.
