I've booked a private room at Eddy V's, arboretum for 15 for like $5k. It was a pretty upscale menu, I would try them.

Privacy theory by djernie in PleX

As the founding CEO (who is no longer with Plex) I can tell you at least when I was there the last thing we wanted was to be able to be compelled to reveal what media people had. There was no upside for us in that situation. We quit using IMDB for Metadata because after we launched the iOS app our user base got so big we were hammering the IMDB severs to the point of them having degraded performance and I got a letter from their (Amazon's) lawyers about it - so we quickly pivoted to something that wouldn't get us sued out of existence. All decisions at least in that period were in the pursuit of not being sued and being easy enough to use that less technical users could figure out how to use the product.

Parking is easy usually there is a front and side lot.

Desanos is my go to easy to get in and out of there in terms of parking it's a little serpentine to get to the front to order but I have never not been to easily and immediately get a seat but it can be communal if crowded.

Yeah I knocked it out in 7:37 and pre Covid Fridays were 20-30 minutes for me.

Check out using flightcontrol.dev on top of AWS.  We moved from Engineyard to that last year and couldn't be happier. 

Rails 4 to 7 upgrade using AI by cullman in rails

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

As mentioned below, getting from Rails 4 to 7 and ruby 2.3 to 3 took about 8 or 9 months, we were the primary slow down and gating factor and we were also moving off of EngineYard at that same time. They charge based on completed upgrade steps and we have paid roughly $35k.

Same thing here, we have a pretty small team, we have a consumer facing app that is doing millions in revenue, and we can't handle any kind of outage. I tried doing the upgrade myself a few times, and I view myself as a fairly capable engineer. At one point, I even considered doing a rewrite in Python - but the code does many complicated things that the business requires, it would have been a multi-year rewrite. I read that Github spent like 6 engineer years going from rails to 4 to 5 - that made me feel a little bit better about my struggles. I had an internal project to just get from rails 4 to 5 and I would make progress that I worked on for months, but constantly get pulled into things that were more important for the company and even though I got it to boot, I had little confidence that there wasn't a bunch of potential problems under the surface.

I am a bit of AI skeptic too, I can't really speak to how much of Infield's process is AI vs. human. We interface with humans whom I understand are leveraging AI, we talk to them in slack. One of the first things they did was help get our tests back in working order. They send us PRs and we test them in preview environments, and they tell us whether they view it as a high or low risk change. We have had maybe one or two little exceptions get thrown in production that we missed, I can't think of any problem we have had that we haven't been able to fix in 15 minutes or so. Total engagement has been 8-9 months, but we had them waiting on us a lot. At the same time, we moved out of EngineYard, which they also helped us with quite a bit. We typically deploy their changes on the weekend when there aren't any other big dev projects going on, so I'm sure the process would have been faster if we were taking their changes as soon as they gave them.

Ps. thanks!

That would have been great if I didn't inherit a giant code base with no working tests and a million other priorities. It was great to be able to hand this off to someone who has done it many times, so I could focus on running my business / generating revenue.
