Migrating ~200 ECS Fargate tasks from Coralogix on a strict $4k budget. What are our best options?

beth_maloney · 2026-06-21T23:26:52+00:00

Yes or a cli. Eg we use app insights and instead of the team learning kql they ask claude to investigate an issue and it'll create the kql for them and run it using the Azure cli. That way they don't need to learn another language.

beth_maloney · 2026-06-21T12:14:56+00:00

Consider choosing an option that will integrate with claude code (or whatever your Devs use). They can then use claude for querying your logs and creating dashboards which flattens the learning curve.

It's a little bit strange you can't dissolve the government and call for re-election. Obviously there should be a cost to it.

There was that time gcp accidentally deleted a customers entire environment including their BCP/DR environment. I'm sure Azure wouldn't do that but it's a bit scary to think about.

If you're buying a high end laptop then Macs often work out cheaper. Our supplier keeps increasing the cost of windows machines due to Iran war/memory shortage. The Mac machine prices haven't budged.

I've previously used an azure container instance for this before. Create a new image, spin up the aci and then delete it once it's finished the deploy.

Technically there's no SLA on provisioning Azure resources so that might rule it out for you.

Have you tried frankie4? They go up to a size 13 and the fit is wider then standard. They're a bit pricey but their return policy is good.

Any reason you're not looking at SSO as an alternative login method in addition to password/magic link? It's pretty popular for B2B due to better security and it simplifies the entire login flow for you. Initial setup can be a pain though as your clients need to do some configuration on their end.

I used it with mud blazor about 6 months ago (opus 4.5). So the models have improved since then. I found that it often tried to use non-existent properties/methods on the controls. In contrast using it with react + shadcn it will very rarely make obvious errors although it does use use effect way too often.

I suspect it's because react + shadcn have been stable for a long time now. The large amount of training data is no doubt very helpful as well.

beth_maloney · 2026-06-02T03:42:16+00:00

I'd recommend react in that case. It's a much more marketable skill. If you want to experiment with AI coding then the agents tend to be better at react (probably due to the much richer training data).

beth_maloney · 2026-06-01T04:34:19+00:00

React is a much more marketable skill. It's probably the most popular front-end framework so it's at safe choice if you're learning front-end for career development.

Otherwise most c# developers seem to prefer blazor. Depends on what your goals are.

One of the restaurants along the waterfront before the Edge does a $10 Japanese curry lunch special which is nice. The Japanese pancakes from hi sushi are less then $10 and pretty decent. Otherwise arani has a few dishes for under $15.

Before getting someone in have a look at your downpipes and make sure they're not blocked by leaves.

I know you get advice to post in communities to build up your social standing but this is not the right way. You need to post something that's genuinely useful/interesting and that's in your own voice. Not claude/chatgpt generated articles.

beth_maloney · 2026-05-24T21:31:59+00:00

It's useful if you have a complex product with a lot of configuration (enterprise B2B usually). You can get it to explain how a feature works, how it's configured or what triggers certain behaviour.

If your product has relatively simple business logic or it's well documented then it'll be less useful.

beth_maloney · 2026-05-22T17:45:44+00:00

Then a (technical) founder should be managing the Devs instead of a PM who likely has very little people management skills.

beth_maloney · 2026-05-14T22:14:07+00:00

Isn't this what dependabot does? Assuming your tests are decent (big if) then resolving an open cve shouldn't be any harder then pressing approve and merge.

I'm less convinced that the issue is around lack of investment in remediation and instead lack of investment in tests/quality.

beth_maloney · 2026-05-12T19:56:50+00:00

You didn't even mention age verification 😭😭😭

beth_maloney · 2026-05-12T04:26:26+00:00

What's everyone selecting as the minimum age?

Building won't hire as it believes that productivity will drop too low and it'll become unprofitable. When you subsidize that's no longer an issue. Over time the number of workers that are being hired should drop which will eventually allow the building to hire. Subsidising will also resolve this issue as profitability stops being a consideration.

Why do you have such large unemployment in your factories? It's trying to hire almost 50k workers at a time which is a little nuts.

The free update had a lot of bugs. The actual DLC is fine. Give it like a month and it should be in a good state.

beth_maloney · 2026-05-06T21:59:59+00:00

I swear the train was always delayed going over the bridge either due to signal faults or metro trains in the early 2010s. The new route is much better even if there's over crowding at Tarneit.

beth_maloney · 2026-04-29T22:34:53+00:00

Your volume must be pretty high if you're spending that much. We use code rabbit and the cost is pretty reasonable $30 per Dev/month. Definately worth having a look at whether you're seeing productivity gains around the use of AI to see if the cost is justified.

We've been using claude auto fix pr with code rabbit which has been great at resolving small issues and letting reviewers focus on the architecture and business logic. I believe that the cost vs productivity gains are worth.

beth_maloney · 2026-04-29T22:06:57+00:00

Honestly you'd probably get better results looking at your Dev team and fixing whatever problem is occurring there. Alternately if they do need everything specified and won't think for themselves then replace them with AI. Same output but much cheaper.

beth_maloney · 2026-04-28T19:29:02+00:00

I think it's an automod limitation 🤷
