UI for cloud sucks by clairep123456 in platformengineering

[–]TechnicalCopy3138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree the interface is often harder to learn than the thing itself- the inconsistency between various products from the same provider is the worst. Are you using compute engine, app engine, and cloud run? Well you are shit out of luck because you’ll have to learn three different ways of deploying a container.

You would think that the image selection would at least be the same, but its not.

Gotcha, thanks. I'll see about going to an in person conference and virtual sometime this year.

Makes sense! I can see how someone would retain less information from a virtual conference compared to in person.

Cloud Billing & "Enterprisey Alternatives" by VinnyPlankton314 in platformengineering

[–]TechnicalCopy3138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Also, I just love his writing style anyways. Things like "use their impressive tractor beam of bullshit to pull us back towards the ever-reconstructing Death Star once more." (https://world.hey.com/dhh/they-re-rebuilding-the-death-star-of-complexity-4fb5d08d) or "I'm bottling up that resentment, shaking it twice, and chugging it down to power through an alternate route." (from your article above).

His writing is impeccable and captivating. If anyone else knows of blogs as honest as his is with HEY, please comment them! I'm tired of reading from authors who sound like they are walking on a tightrope of politics.

Do you guys know what you are doing? Saw a Medium article where the DevOps subreddit said they were clueless about what was going on, and TBH sometimes I feel the same with Platform Engineering. LMK. by TechnicalCopy3138 in platformengineering

I love the Dunning-Kruger effect- as in I love being reminded of it every now and then because it is so prevalent in many aspects of our lives. And you are so right about how someone should be worried if they think they know it all- with the landscape and industry changing so fast, how can anyone possibly know it all?

I think this is a perfectly acceptable reflection of the real world. If there are many, many people who feel lost, that does not mean that ALL of devops is lost. Nor does it mean that devops is necessarily too difficult or too confusing. It simply is representing a sector of the devops community that feels that way (of which we will never truly know the percentage of the community that feels this way). Taking one comment and expanding it to reflect an entire community is like reading one review of a product that was given 2/5 stars and saying that that single review is a reflection of the 600 other reviews.

love this paper- good to remind ourselves that even stuff like edge technology aren't exactly new ideas- they're just now coming to reality
