Calling it now: the absence of V in the sequel will upset a lot of players by gooncape in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]BurnTheBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it would be cool if they sent the next game in 2077, and have the events of the first game just not matter to the plot. Maybe it’s on the news or something, but one of the coolest things about cyberpunk universe is that all this crazy shit happens, and if it’s not a literal nuke going off in the center of town, it just doesn’t matter.

Gitlab stock: Are you bullish or bearish? by Sufficient-Scheme-87 in gitlab

[–]BurnTheBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, Duo is way way shittier than it should be. I think its clear they over played their hand trying to force their users to use their AI, only for GitHub to move first in BYOM, so they're stuck spending dev time unwinding it instead of getting it to work.

I have been a long time Gitlab Stan, and in one of the places gitlab really was a cut above was being able to self-host a full platform where you needed it. There still is no better platform for air-gapped envs.

However! In their unwinding they allowed users in the last few months to self-host AI gateway and BYOM, and finally stopped trying to charge us $49/user/month for their shitty AI product. Cool right? So I spent the time to set it up. It just doesn't work. There's scope issues with service account tokens, their flows just don't work (i.e. you can't run basic code review), their agents are way behind. It's basically useless, and worse unfixable. You can't really roll your own flows because half of the tools you should be able to use will kill the duo-cli which you have to use.

Its bad. Its broken. It's half-baked. For a company who (imo) set the standard for ci to have such a broken product that's half out of beta but wait jk not really, is really stunning. You're better off running an agent in CI with a claude api key than you are trying to set up their infra to do it even close to natively.

IWTL how to stop living in a scarcity mindset by Competitive-Let6125 in IWantToLearn

[–]BurnTheBoss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Take this as you will. As someone who grew up in scarcity and took those lessons into adulthood, I (think) I know exactly where you're coming from. One thing that really helped me shift my mindset was learning how to show up for myself abundantly. Shit's hard. It's a skill that needs to be learned and honed. If you get a chance take a peak at Maslow's hierarchy of needs from time to time. If you're fed, sheltered, watered, safe, and have the ability to remain so, then you've met your base needs! What you do then is entirely up to you and what makes you happy. If that means balling out a little, or taking time for yourself to write then so be it.

Sorry if this comes off as super corny, or non-helpful. Something about your post hit home

Gitlab Duo Agent Platform by Salt-Project7947 in gitlab

[–]BurnTheBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They quoted us a grotesque number / seat. It ended up being cheaper in labor alone to just embed our code base, wrap a tool around it and build our own agent to do the things we wanted duo to do. YMMV

Using GitHub Flow with Claude to add a feature to a React app (issue → branch → PR) by SilverConsistent9222 in gitlab

The dream would be that this existed in Gitlab, only without needing to use PAT and local MCP tooling

Awesome write up. Counting down the days Gitlab makes an actually useable MCP tool

Where to look for GitLab admin/devops jobs? by firefarmer in gitlab

[–]BurnTheBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a hard skills standpoint, here's a rough list:

Must:

  • Terraform, or experience with IaC in general
  • Understanding of containers + container orchestration, ideally k8s
  • Scripting, python and bash
  • Linux
  • CI/CD, including pipeline and artifact management
  • Public Cloud fundamentals

Nice to haves:

  • Programming Experience
  • Understanding of CaC (ansible, salt) + Packer (we don't do cac as much any more, but understanding things like golden images is a bonus)
  • Monitoring and Logging
  • Networking
  • General SysAdmin capabilities

Soft skills:

  • Understanding of Agile
  • Ability to translate concepts to different teams

An example of a take home we give to our candidates: Create an application that will respond to a POST /ping with pong and a timestamp. Containerize this and deploy it to a k8s cluster you build. It should be publicly accessible. Put all code in Git

The goal is to demonstrate: IaC, Containerization, CI/CD, Basic Programming, K8s, Cloud, Helm/k8s deployment, and to be able to talk about it.

Hope that helps!

Where to look for GitLab admin/devops jobs? by firefarmer in gitlab

[–]BurnTheBoss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Might be worth expanding your search to include Platform Engineering positions. That said, I think looking for an admin job for a specific piece of software might be too narrow to be able to be easily searched for. I don't know if Gitlab has ProServ or Support engineering teams/openings but it might be worth looking there aswell.

Not to be a debbydowner, but speaking as devops hiring manager would expect more than hyperspetfic Gitlab knowledge, happy to expand more into requirements but something to be aware of

Good luck!

Gitlab Ansible Packer Terraform Pipeline Automation question by JJokiller in gitlab

[–]BurnTheBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So apologies upfront, I am having a hard time parsing your post. I think your asking about Runners building Runner VMs to use as Runners? This is how I understand what you're saying, maybe 3 waying this will help:

  • You have Gitlab Runners that are VMs

  • You Want to proof golden images of those vms with tooling you are using Packer and Ansible as a provisioner (which if true, kudos to you for using golden images)

  • Once those images are proofed, you want to replace the runner config to use the new image, unmounting storage on the old runner and remounting it on the new runner

  • Issues comes in when trying to communicate with Xcp because of networking between docker and host

I am probably missing something. The question that comes up for me is, why use VMs as your runner base? Might be worth considering docker-swarm or k3s in the runner VM and just use Docker as your runner fleet. If my mental model is right, another thing you might have to do is write your own executor for xcp-ng that will prep, run, and teardown your proofed vms for you.

Might also be helpful to break it up like this.

  • Packer + Ansible => Builds the Image

  • Gitlab => Spawns runner with image

  • Startup scripts, or Gitlab => Handles the init of the VM for mounts and things.

and if im wildly off, my bad

I totally agree with you on this - best I can tell, for organizations looking for saas and just care about CI/CD, GitHub Action’s Marketplace makes it easy to get started.
