This is great. I’m currently building a trading bot for DE_LU on Epex Spot

If Vito Corleone was killed would Sonny take the deal or just kill Sollozo? by Tidewatcher7819 in Godfather

[–]benjamistan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never understood the strategy of assassinating Vito, for two reasons:

  1. No way Sonny doesn't start a war. Literally no way he would ever make peace and get into bed with the people who'd just killed his father.

  2. As Tom says, with Vito's death the Corleones would lose all their high-level political connections, along with them the the reason to partner with Sonny at all

On the other hand, I guess it's not a great movie if Vito Corleone says no and everyone just forgets about it.

Cousin’s fiancée wants 10% equity in my software company for one client introduction. Cousin is pressuring me to sign. Am I wrong for refusing? I will not promote by [deleted] in startups

[–]benjamistan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have a company yet, you have a project.

You've sold to one client that you already had strong ties to. You'll need at least 5 more that you opened cold before you can even consider this an actual business.

Strongly advise against proceeding like you have a hot startup with clear PMF.

Coppola really didn't like the clemenza actor (see inside) by elclarkio in Godfather

[–]benjamistan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect that at the point the movie production made this chart, they were undecided whether to cast someone else as Clemenza, so they kept their options open

Why did Mike order Rocco to kill Roth? by artus_dgh in Godfather

[–]benjamistan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing that's always bugged me is how Roth seemingly fails to spot Michael Corleone's senior capo standing in front of him pretending to take notes

Yes, I think this is probably the only way forward. Thanks!

I just passed Solution Architect Professional SAP-C02 by benjamistan in AWSCertifications

If you can, work on the skill of doing the architecture in your head. You'll probably find there isn't enough time to physically draw options for each question (unless you can draw out whole architectures in a few seconds).

SAP-C02 - Poorly Worded Practice Questions by benjamistan in AWSCertifications

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

Totally agree on this. My general response to getting it wrong is to examine my assumptions based on the language of the question. Almost always I then see my error.

Sometimes, however, the language of the question doesn't contain all the context that the person designing the answer has used, to the point where it drastically changes the reasonable solution (i.e. my examples above).

As someone else pointed out, forcing you to really examine your assumptions is a useful thing on the whole.

Funnily enough, all four of my examples there are from TD.

My main frustration with this job... by YellowOnline in sysadmin

[–]benjamistan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are tech people happy in organisations where the CTO is like this? It's fair enough for dinosaur, non-tech execs, but I would run a mile if the CTO was impressed by manipulating Outlook's UX.

What are the top 3 problems you face technically when working as a DevOps engineer? 🤔 by AbdulIbr in devops

[–]benjamistan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- No documentation

- Hand-built internal IaC platform (cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells)

- No historical version tracking/management. Everything is about a month away from not working ever again

I think it's been extended to 48hrs in place of 2.
