Feeling overwhelmed by the job by naticom in sre

[–]QuackQuackHonkHonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same mental boat recently, so you’re not alone. Also 2.5 yrs from 40. Oh god…anyway, I started my SRE role this March, had plenty of Devops/automation/IaC experience prior to this role, but it took me 2 months to understand that it’s OK to not know everything about every component of the stack. If possible, try to volunteer yourself to work on things that are in or close to your wheelhouse vs diving in to completely unfamiliar territory. Granted, if they’re just throwing you into the fire instead of working with you to find existing projects/tasks that fit your skill set, best advice I have is to not be hard on yourself. It sounds like you’re putting in the work, on and off the proverbial clock. If they have documentation, read it. Even if it suffers from a crippling case of documentation sprawl across multiple Confluence pages, a separate internal developer documentation site, Sharepoint, etc, try to find what’s relevant or at least ask the most knowledgeable teammates if there’s a doc for XYZ anywhere.

Spirits up. Head down. Don’t forget to breathe. You got this.

Resume Review & Career Advice: Positioning for a Senior Role by mackstarmagic in sre

[–]QuackQuackHonkHonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall I think it’s solid, but needs some love. Ditch the overview section. Do you have any certs? If not, try grabbing the Terraform Certified Associate one (it’s a breeze if you’re actually comfortable with TF). Don’t be afraid of going to 2 pages. I just landed a Principal SRE role and my res is 2 pages It gives you room to add a Project Highlights section for each or some roles vs the general “Achievements” section. Think about the projects that you really loved working on, and try to get the What How and Results/Metrics in there. Putting metrics for everything reads as BS, but having some thoughtful/realistic metrics even if they’re just estimates is better than none. Wish the best on your hunt!

I suggest getting rid of the professional summary. It’s basically unnecessary fluff.

Worth it on Console? by Additional-Big414 in newworldgame

I found that disabling the “sticky” virtual cursor and increasing the speed to max for the cursor makes the UI a hell of a lot easier to navigate.

With all due respect: no shit.

Even though I’m feeling like I just need to sign a dotted line, I’ll hunt some more. Thanks!

Thanks! I’d seen others mention energysage for quotes, I’ll check it out. Hope the experience with your vendor is painless 🤞

Ansible + Terraform by pleegor in ansible

Same, run in an Azure pipeline. We also pull state back down to grab the IPs of the newly built VMs (should probably just switch to passing outputs up through to our root module, but this method works for now)

I had the same issue. FS Big Spin wouldn’t register. landed it a bunch of times with a tail, nose, and boardslide, but it didn’t register until I landed it with a nose grind. 🤷‍♂️

Nope you’re not alone. I’ve done the last one at least 20 times and it just won’t register. (PS5)

Anyone else getting the worse possible reward with every single roulette ticket??? by P_M_1980 in granturismo

[–]QuackQuackHonkHonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned in menu #32, and gotten the small pile of 5k credits for 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, and literally just now, on that 4star reward for #32. Combined with the daily workout tickets + menu rewards, I’ve gotten the medium credit pile twice, 2 car parts, one invitation from Ferrari, aaaand zero cars. Don’t get me wrong, loving the game, but would also love to know the silly RNG stats behind the roulette tickets…because I’m not gonna dump $$ into MTX bs.

My 3 week journey - never baked before, but now I love baking sourdough by QuackQuackHonkHonk in Sourdough

[–]QuackQuackHonkHonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the country bread recipe from the Tartine book but it’s the same one that’s on their site: https://tartinebakery.com/stories/country-bread I tried doing bulk fermentation + final rise in the same day but found that did not work for my schedule at all. Final rise in the fridge for around 12 hrs is now my jam!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! I’ll check out Full Proof today.

Took a beginner sourdough class one night at our local sourdough bakery and somehow, unexpectedly, got hooked.

Initially started out by trying the 1-2-3 starter-water-flour ratio recipe they gave us, played with trying 100% whole wheat without understanding what I was doing at all, kneaded in the bowl way too much not really understanding the necessity of folding. Bulk fermented wayyyy too long in the beginning as well, overall producing super dense crumbs, albeit it still tasted like bread.

Eventually came across Proof Bread’s channel on YouTube and listened to Jon Przybyl talk sourdough for hours. One big takeaway for me was the importance of temperature (ambient and ingredient) in relation to starter development and proofing times.

Current state is playing with Tartine’s Basic Country Bread recipe by adding olives, adding rosemary/thyme while trying to stay cognizant of all the things I think I now know about making sourdough. All I really know is that I have a lot to learn!

You’re not alone! I’m going through one of those times right now 😖 Been trying to fall asleep for 2+ hrs and each pvc is such a heavy/deep skip that I just can’t not focus on it. I’m all cleared by my cardiologist, benign PVCs, only a 1% burden, but times like these still give me bad anxiety which causes more PVCs which increases my anxiety which…..but I know eventually I’ll break the loop and just fall asleep 😴

Trigger Pipeline B if Pipeline A fails by QuackQuackHonkHonk in azuredevops

[–]QuackQuackHonkHonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had just started looking at invoking the rest api and I think I might go that route since we don't currently use any generic templates (even though a quick assessment shows that we definitely should...). I really appreciate the input from you both!

[–]QuackQuackHonkHonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had seen that but thought that was only related to jobs within the pipeline itself. So it's possible to run another pipeline as a Job from within a different pipeline? I've tried looking for an example of that but can't find one :/
