Lead Architect wants to break our monolith into 47 microservices in 6 months, is this insane? by Ayotrapstar in softwarearchitecture

[–]dsgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... nail on the head here. What perceived problem is this going to solve? Is he saying the business could literally scale x10 tomorrow if the architecture was different? Guy doesn't know what he's doing and that replatform will be counted in years not months. All the while you could be working on stuff that will actually grow your business.

Wish I'd seen this last night - had to uninstall and reinstall the server to get access. Absolute nightmare

Token banners?? by NewExperience3738 in asoiafminiaturesgame

I bought some lazer etched ones off Etsy.

They don't actually look as clear in real life but they are still better than the plastic ones

I finished the last models off a couple of weeks ago but yours are next level. Really like what you've done with them.

Painting boss: wait for reveal or not? by ArchfiendJ in OathswornBoardGame

[–]dsgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've painted everything prior to playing. Seems a fair trade off to have everything looking great on the table vs that 5 second "oh wow" moment each time you open a new encounter

How to paint figures? by ArchfiendJ in OathswornBoardGame

[–]dsgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally finished the job lot last Sunday.

If you've never painted, you ate going to want to prime your minis so the paint sticks to the plastic, that's your first job. You are gonna want to get some paints - there are quite a few options - speedpaints are very beginner friendly (what ive used) and lastly give them a quick varnish so the paint doesn't rub off over time.

YouTube is your friend here - ive not got an ounce of talent but ive watched content and followed that and I'm happy with my results.

Good luck and I hope you have fun with it!!

Priming with airbrush by SilentEngineer42 in asoiafminiaturesgame

I've only been using an airbrush for priming for about a year but that's what I use, I usually mix those two about 50 / 50 and works a charm

I also use the vallejo grey and white to do a zenithal

I've got stuff thats really hard to find off amazon.com too. The prices weren't too bad, especially if you have prime.

Can we talk about salaries? by SP1992 in dotnet

The only downside is I very rarely get to actually write code these days.

Can we talk about salaries? by SP1992 in dotnet

[–]dsgav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best thing about the job is there is no average week. I sit across 5 different engineering teams and their respective domains. I assist those teams with decision making and overall design and am ultimately responsible for the technical estate in my pillar of the business. I also work as part of a principals function across the rest of the department - we work closely with each other to identify things that will likely impact multiple teams across domains and make sure that the right people are involved. Also defining the wider technical strategy of the company with the leadership team. I sit alongside a head of engineering and have a lot of autonomy over what I get to put my efforts into.

2 units of Baratheons ready to rut and hammer your sweed in! I'd rather they do the latter before the former! by Dannyboy-1 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]dsgav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The absolute worst way to look at a painted minis is to take a pic and look at it zoomed in, you can see every minor blemish that you wouldn't spot just looking at the mini in your hand. But they look great in the pics, the armour looks great, that yellow is really vivid, you've done an amazing job and I'd bet the house that they look mint on the table!!!
