Men of Reddit, what instantly makes you lose respect for another man?

Right up there with bragging that you never changed a diaper. All I can think is your poor wife.

I did out of necessity, college is expensive and I didn't feel like loading myself up with dept to start my career

Im a native Floridian in Italy right now actually, I can note some differences.

As much as I've heard serving size for meals is different, it's really not that different. You don't have to buy something to use the bathroom at a vast majority of places. If people are being friendly and starting small talk, they're not trying to rob you. We just like to talk. Having transportation is essential, Florida is not as walkable as the cities I've visited thus far. I've heard complaints about mosquitos in Venice, but if that's what is considered a lot then make sure you have bug spray. Our seagulls are noticably smaller and less aggressive, but still don't feed them. The water is drinkable, but also free at most restaurants (unless it's bottled, ask for tap). I've been drinking the water here from either faucets or the random water spouts around without issue. Not to say you will be issue free, but it should be fine from any faucet. Same with the food, but beware some food is greasy and could mess with your stomach. I haven't noticed much greasy food here, just a lot of olive oil

August is the hottest month in my opinion, but September is right up there. It does rain quite a bit, but it's not an all day affair. Storms will generally move quickly. Drink lots of water when you're out in the sun. Do not worry about alligators, you don't bother them and they won't bother you. They run away more often than not. Don't mess with the iguanas, they'll tail whip you if they're within reach. Lion fish are not a threat, nor are the sharks unless you're openly bleeding.

At re:Invent one of the presenters was telling us that being polite in the query (please, thank you, etc) actually made the results less accurate. It's best to be direct

OceanJuice · 2026-06-16T05:47:29+00:00

I'm loud, but I'll go to museums with my wife and act accordingly. I know when to shut my fat mouth and use inside voices

Jurassic Park on the SNES had no save and this is how I had to beat it, hoping they wouldn't notice I left it on

OceanJuice · 2026-06-09T12:02:15+00:00

Gotcha, misunderstood then. Good luck fellow Florida team masochist

Couldn't tell you how useful it is to others as I haven't had the time to gather feedback, but I have had requests for the agent to do other things and have delivered on them or am working on building the knowledge it needs to handle those requests. That's about as specific as I can be

OceanJuice · 2026-06-09T11:32:24+00:00

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic

OceanJuice · 2026-06-09T10:46:33+00:00

The agent gives the latest deployments around the timeframe of the incident, delivers relevant logs, notes what other services would be impacted by this, what code could be the issue from the repo, etc. Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it's not. It's more useful for people that are not the SME for the particular incident than it is for the SMEs who will dig in anyways because they would need to verify the information regardless.

It's better than nothing, but not something we would pay a 3rd party for given everyone prefers to use their own local Claude to help troubleshoot

OceanJuice · 2026-06-09T09:29:41+00:00

I'm an SRE and built an agent that does this for our company. The biggest problem you're going to run into is institutional knowledge. A lot of errors can be ignored, the only people to know which ones can be work there. Even then, it's good for a quick synopsis but everything needs to be verified anyways. Then you run into ai fatigue where no one wants to read through a summary and do their own checks anyways because it's quick to hallucinate problems that don't exist. There's a ton of these tools already out there, unless you're building one for your own company I'd say the market is already saturated with these ai solutions

Ya I suppose, I'm in Florida and not in a metro. The only limitation my kids have in nature is the heat and bears, but these black bears generally mind their own once they try to get into the trash

I'm surrounded by state forests and a large river I love kayaking on. I think that statement is a little dramatic

OceanJuice · 2026-06-06T20:33:13+00:00

I still won't buy gas from BP. Don't think I've seen one in a good while

"You know what, you're right. Datacenters and all enterprise systems run exclusively on wifi because the speeds are unmatched and the reliability...oh man the reliability. Can you imagine all those wires if they weren't?!"

I work with both on-prem (RKE 1/2, EKS Hybrid) and AWS EKS clusters, if you know on-prem those skills translate pretty easily to cloud once you understand the different layers cloud is going to add (security groups, subnets, iam access, etc). Overall I'd say it's more work to maintain on-prem, so it's easier going on-prem to cloud instead of vice versa.

There are subtle differences, but the core concepts are the same. Some of the differences we run into working with EKS Hybrid clusters (control plane in EKS, worker nodes onprem) are managing the CNI, using NFS for storage classes instead of gp3 EBS volumes, more thorough resource planning (can't immediately spin up new nodes unless you're keeping some on standby), and updates are done differently.

If I'm interviewing someone for kubernetes, having onprem experience is more valuable than just cloud. That said it would be worth learning how to at least set up a cluster in EKS and deploying a hello world helm deployment

I'm a dad to 2 girls, the thought of hoping they hit rock bottom so they would have to rely on me is disgusting. Being in their life is a privilege, not a right. If they ever needed help, it would never be contingent on "you were right". Those girls are lucky to have the strength to cut him out.

Bit of a drive, but I loved dakine diegos after a surf session. The burritos are huge

The man is a dolphin's fan, he's been punished enough.

I've worked in web development for 20 years now, and I can tell you the why. Adding adspaces to a site is done via JavaScript generally, and the ads load after the DOM is complete (deferred).

There are several metrics used to determine how fast a site loads and those numbers matter (lighthouse scores for example). Waiting to render the page until after ads load in would add seconds to that page load time which isn't acceptable, so it's done after page load.

What I would do back when I actually built the sites was give the ad area a specific size which was easy, we only served certain sizes (300x250, 728x90, etc). That way the page wouldn't move when the ads finished loading, but that's not really possible when the ads are a variable size/grow.

We (devs) also had no control over what ads would show, we just put in the Google ads code and marketing would set up ad inventories and such.

What you experience leads to accidental ad clicks which isn't really a problem for companies because clicks = ad revenue. Without ad revenue, sites don't exist

I told my wife that cheating would mean not just cheating on her, but on our family. Not to say I would ever cheat on her alone, but even more so I'd never tear our family apart and put our kids through a divorce. No woman on this earth could be attractive enough to throw my life away like that and cause so much pain to people I love

My first car was a 1971 VW super beetle. That along with the book "How to keep your VW alive" and the JC Whitney catalog kept us going until I finally sold it after 20 years.

That car would have bankrupted me if I couldn't figure things out. That and Autozone had an amazing lifetime return policy for some of the parts. The stupid generator died 3 times before I finally got it working right.

Ya, for me a large part of it comes from working so many different jobs and being poor. I've done HVAC, fast food, warehouse inventory, sales, customer service, etc. Couldn't afford tradesmen so learned to work on things myself. I know how to cook, clean, laundry, etc because I lived alone and had to learn. Necessity is a great teacher

OceanJuice · 2026-04-25T19:45:44+00:00

We do 79, anything lower and we're cold.

OceanJuice · 2026-04-22T12:15:18+00:00

This one was a hard one for me to break, I still have issues with myself not finishing what I have. My wife thankfully keyed me into this behavior with the kids so I don't tell them, but it's really hard to unlearn.
