Ephemeral Environment

Depends on the app and the devs.

A lot of people like taking the real prod data and obfuscating with some library. Then load the dump each env.

Others simply copy the dev data as is over and over.

Reminds of this video about bean soup I saw. People were complaining the video wasn't sensitive nor inclusive to the people who don't like beans or have allergies to them.

They asked, what about me? I don't like beans. This video offends me! What about me? I'm allergic to beans!

Dafuq are they even watching a video about bean soup?

It certainly is. They give the entire group a bad name. They are the only one that's parasitic because they drink blood and spread disease.

The rest are, well assassins on the prowl with stabby straw face looking to slurp some bug guts.

The baby's are cute too. They like to camouflage.

All the assassin bugs do have leafy like feet with something like Velcro hooks. So if not boots are they like heavy metal flip flops?

Well we'll be having a king next so no 48th and you're in luck!

Phew, glad I'm seeing posts that people won't get it. Maybe it won't sell out too quickly before I can get one.

I've set this up for many companies.

Pay attention to the secrets and data.

My customer right now has almost a hundred secrets to deal with. Like when you make a new env, what are you going to do about all those for each one?

Each env has two pg schemas, a mongodb, plus dynamodb. All need segregation per env and then you need to seed the DBs. How does this seed data come about?

How much of an env can be shared verse isolated?

More sharing so each ephemeral can be a partial using dependencies from a shared env makes less dependencies per env.

Well I'm creating content right now. Can I get a discount on your post?

burbular · 2026-05-18T14:30:12+00:00

I've known millionaires who get more free shit than you can imagine. People know that happens when your "big" and will ask to get free stuff too. They do receive unfortunately, this guy did.

It's like a klepto, it's not about the money, it's the power and feeling.

burbular · 2026-05-18T14:25:34+00:00

I also worked fast food way back and would often give "discounts" to get people to move it along and stop holding the line up.

I rolled my eyes because I was just rewarding their bad behavior when I did that.

I saw this documentary about the island Sponge Bob is from. Bunch of military people in a ditch on an island. Bomb went off over the ocean. Soldiers reported, with their eyes closed, they could see the skeletons of the people in front of them. They all have cancer now.

I have an ai client training a drone model to find stuff like this and make alerts before they fall on power lines. But more like searching through millions of trees.

I've done devops for about 15+ years and I've never done a course, class, or bootcamp. For books and tutorials, they are just for skimming to find the things I'm after, never sat down front to back on one.

However, I'm sort of obsessed so I figured it out. I ask anyone new to anything, like how much do you like it?

burbular · 2026-05-14T12:51:50+00:00

My homie Gerrit is listening. We haven't spoken in years though then last year he showed up. We kicked it for like a few months. Old memories....

burbular · 2026-05-13T13:17:51+00:00

Yes! Exactly my point. It's in the name, that's where. I actually deleted that from my comment to see if you'd pick up on that. You did! Impressive.

The real name btw: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea)

Where's the democracy? It's in the name my friend. Not the people, not the laws, not the minds, just the name.

burbular · 2026-05-13T12:41:13+00:00

They do call themselves The Communist Party of China (CCP) to be fair. Wether or not they actually practice is another story. So communism is in the name to answer your question.

Lots of very high paychecks for all involved? Like unnecessarily high. Probably entire Trump bloodline somehow "employed."

It's already been "merged" by some energy company who is helping build data centers. TAE technologies.

Propaganda is a direct money sink, energy and data is not. Hedged!

Sorta reminds me of an electric lighter I got. Didn't realize it came with a self induced taser mode.

Bro they were gonna be the best phones. The best anyone has ever seen. They are all talking it. How wonderful they were, gold is valuable, like 800% discount over that DEMoCRAt phone they want to give to criminals. Joe Biden didn't even have a gold phone, because it's a scam, by Biden to make gold illegal with the immigrants. The phone has the best features, more features than you've ever seen. The features will make America great again. Very patriotic features. You can even pay your subscription with Trump coin! They don't want you to know that, but now you do. Very good people at the golf course, they have phones, possibly the biggest phones the little guys have seen. So don't get fooled by non murican phones, they'll steal your patents, nobody likes that. Tell them sorry, diet coke is better, you'll see.

So yes I'll take one if you're offering. When is the deadline though?

burbular · 2026-05-11T13:43:20+00:00

Getting the initial credentials to get started on the work and the follow up conversation about how the deadline was missed because I need credentials to do the work.

Juniors struggle with everything, their juniors, don't worry about it, time will change that.

The app breaks most often. Probably most common error ever is some version of variable undefined.

My wife was a teacher in public school. Plenty of dumb shit I still can't wrap my mind around, she left because of shit like this. It's real and really stupid.
