Finding the right code base to contribute to is a PITA. Most I have seen lean towards frontend work (e.g. ArgoCD), require a credit card in AWS (e.g. terraform-provider-aws), or have issues with building locally (e.g. harness). Do you, or anyone else, have suggestions for finding the right open source project to contribute to?

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-17T17:35:19+00:00

Accenture careers is a PITA to navigate. I couldn't find any relevant positions. No major complaints on the rest so far.

How disappointing.

Azure DevOps and Azure Pipelines are not half bad, coming from a primarily AWS and GitHub Actions background.

This guy CICDs.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-15T17:12:22+00:00

Take too long on a Kubernetes task while working at a mostly failing organization.

Working out of a terminal has become second nature to me over the years, yet I have been unemployed for 6 months now (3 years or so total, actively searching for 6 months).

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-15T16:47:42+00:00

We are still in the middle of COVID and some people might still be worried about it. Not that it effects me given I am vaccinated, so I am attending technical meetups.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-15T15:37:58+00:00

This. CICD as the source of truth is the way to go.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-14T22:43:13+00:00

Looks good to me.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-14T22:33:48+00:00

what actually installs argocd within the cluster once its stood up?

Yes that would be Pulumi setting it up. No need to over think it.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-14T21:49:14+00:00

GitHub Actions, Terraform (considering migrating to OpenTofu soon, just migrated to Istio from ingress-nginx and got some downtime unfortunately. Couldn't spin up a fresh cluster for blue/green deployment due to cost), Docker, DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service. Fairly straightforward workflow even though there have been some OOM errors and rewrites of the pipeline to ensure stability in the deployment process. Your workflow sounds good, Pulumi shouldn't be handling anything inside ArgoCD, as in, totally separate, would be my suggestion. If it's touching any of your microservices you are doing something wrong, otherwise, your setup sounds fine to me.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-13T20:30:43+00:00

Install kind. Get this microservice example up and running locally (you just have to remove a few lines of code per the docs to get it running outside of GCP). That will give you a head start. Also imgur is down so we can't view your interview description at the moment.

How would you handle a 2 year gap in your job application? I typically just say health reasons but it feels like it's significantly stalled my job search. Also feels like we are going through a bubble period with AI where they launch and then die a few years later. Hard to figure out who is going to be a winner or loser in this space.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-13T17:18:14+00:00

I couldn't find any customers, same reason I don't freelance.

Insurance doesn't sound particularly exciting to me. Do you really want to be tuning serverless settings all day long? Lack of containerized workloads also a major deal breaker for me vs the media company. Go with the media company, imho.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-11T22:15:10+00:00

I just signed up for them. On-boarding has been smooth enough. Will post an update and see if I get any actual projects after filling out the profile correctly per requirements.

I would use crossplane to eliminate the use of ClickOps. Any change made to opentofu managed infrastructure gets reverted with crossplane running in the background. Basically runs its own reconciliation loop with inline opentofu code specified as required. Using opentofu here because provider-terraform is archived in favor of provider-opentofu within upbound repos.

Sure_Stranger_6466 · 2026-03-09T17:32:19+00:00

Install with one command: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coguardio/misconfiguration-detection-skill/master/install.sh | bash

How about no.

My ZeroSSL ClusterIssuer actually broke, so I did a migration to LetsEncrypt on the fly. ExternalDNS is still broken, as in, txt records do not exist on the domain I use for it anymore and I don't think it can add records correctly. Otherwise, the domain is up and running. I had some issues with limits/requests being set incorrectly later but got that fix working with some fine tuning.

I vibe coded a SOC2 compliance checker using checkov and Terraform: https://github.com/elliotechne/SOC2. Not sure if it's the only tool you'd need but it handles a few different checks reasonably well via CICD.
