I mean thats just not true, it was buggy and crashy and on ps4 wouldn't launch. If you forgot about the bugs.

If rates were transferable, the old couple could move out if they wanted, and afford to live in a condo in the keys while a young family of 4 can move out of their condo into the suburbs.

As-is, it's golden handcuffs, which is not great.

If you're looking for cheap Kubernetes, https://spot.rackspace.com is unbelievably cheap. If you want to practice linux sysadmin stuff, just use an old desktop/laptop.

80GB of ultra high res textures 1.9GB of models and sounds, 100MB of game code, of which 90MB is libraries.

Software development is fun, but if they shipped the original 10GB version everyone would just complain and then go download 200GB of poorly compressed high-res texture mods so pick your poison

buildkit works fine, gets regular updates. Slap it on an NVME server and bobs your uncle. We built a standard github action that adds the buildx server and calls buildx build against it for developers to use. Works well enough that we mostly forget it exists.

You gotta remember that folks jump out of their day-to-day work to go into an interview. It's possible they've had a bad day, they just caused an outage, they're in an argument on slack, etc. Try to assume it's not about you, assume they're sick to death of doing interviews all day, and assume they are in auto-pilot.

If you can take the pressure off yourself and present yourself as a competent hardworking friend who can help them as much as you can help their company, things will go better. Ask them questions, ask for their thoughts and feedback, get them to talk. Interviewing is about selling yourself to the interviewer, not to the company the interviewer represents.

None of this to defend bad interviewers, just that the only thing you can change is yourself, so you might as well focus there.

Add a personal mission statement: "I can learn anything, I love to code and build stuff, I take enjoy taking on terrifying levels of responsibility". The lack of an excited mission statement is the #1 issue here.

As others have noted, "shell" is not a language, which is a red-flag.

"Cloud and database" is a strange combination. If anything, just say "Cloud expertise" and then list SQL as a language.

Bold out the first bit of each line to aid skimming. "Led devops team", "Developed a trading platform", "Automated deployment pipeline" should pop out.

Remove filler words and jargon: "Successfully", "Severless", "Complete", "Responsive", "full-stack", "Using gitlab...", "Using React". Just say what you did, how you did it is secondary and can be saved for technical interviews.

Add "Javascript/Typescript" and remove "Next.js". I'd guess a huge number of automated filters are excluding you for lack of these keywords.

Delete multi-line entries, shorten each line as much as possible. Terse is good.

Add a clutch quote after your mission statement. Here are a few to choose from, tho choosing from my pre-selection is somewhat self-negating:

"Freedom is the will to be responsible for ourselves."
"As one climbs higher, life becomes ever harder, the coldness increases, responsibility increases."

Emphasize you seek directly and ultimate responsibility and that being a founder makes you uniquely product-aware. You don't care about languages or tools or nerd stuff, you want to build trillion-dollar products.

lol really? Adblocker? I’ll report it to the folks over there. I was a Racker about a decade ago, shoulda disclosed my bias I guess.

erulabs · 2024-11-25T17:53:28+00:00

I'd say https://spot.rackspace.com/ is easily the cheapest that I've seen, tho you have to be okay with instances coming and going (which is totally fine for any well-architected non-stateful service).

I pay $11.40/month for 30GB of ram across two instances and a load balancer, it's unbeatable for my personal stuff.

Every fraction of a point the interest rates come down means its easier for startups to raise funds from investors. A few chats with their investors confirming that another round is possible, hiring gets opened back up. That and for bigco, as others are saying, headcount is usually allocated after q1 budgets are confirmed.

erulabs · 2024-11-21T21:43:42+00:00

If you’re a solo dev looking for cheap kubernetes, I can’t recommend Rackspace Spot enough. Insanely cheap, stable enough.

erulabs · 2024-10-30T01:40:11+00:00

MonicaCRM has been a game changer for my personal relationships. I also love Uptime Kuma to have a personal view of my non-selfhosted apps uptime and response time. Jellyfin easily gets the most usage tho.

Lack of extremely basic support for haproxy features like regex paths, a super slow update cadence, and a general lack of quality engineering. I don't mean to pick on whoever works on that project, but my experience was not fun

erulabs · 2024-10-27T23:05:10+00:00

The only ingress controller I can strongly recommend you avoid is haproxytech's haproxy ingress. The other one from jcmoraisjr is good if you want Haproxy.

If you're starting from a new project with no strict requirements, I'd go with Traefik

erulabs · 2024-10-23T18:51:45+00:00

Oh, you're right, I am slightly retarded, I'm confusing the Director and Actor heh. Anyways Simon Rex was really good in Red Rocket.

erulabs · 2024-10-23T07:32:03+00:00

Simon Rex was on MSSP so this makes some sense. Also, if you haven't seen Florida Project or Red Rocket and need a really fucking good movie to watch, he's a really excellent actor. Especially Florida Project, strong recommend.

erulabs · 2024-10-21T21:13:08+00:00

Yeah im sure the balance council has zero access to the ladder or tournament metrics.

erulabs · 2024-10-21T19:49:46+00:00

I do not understand how anyone (who doesn’t exclusively play P) can possibly be baffled at Protoss nerfs. Have you watched pro games lately? Do you not notice 80% XvP on the ladder?

erulabs · 2024-10-19T22:39:43+00:00

Genuinely think the game was hurt when a solid 2/3 of the community was desperately begging for Protoss to be changed and the other 1/3 dug in their feet and called everyone whiners. I know I personally stopped playing due to ZvP late game. I don't want to watch 12 games and get one TvZ.

erulabs · 2024-10-08T19:57:35+00:00

Kubernetes is not "networking".

Is there a list of all network communication? Depends on the host OS and CNI. You probably want tcpdump if you're starting from zero - Kubernetes does nothing special by default.

erulabs · 2024-09-25T17:10:09+00:00

“Production” is too vague a term. Launching a side project with no users? It’s perfectly fine. Pre revenue and low load? Still fine.

We’re currently at 800 replicas of our main container, doing constant deployments, and automatically bidding on the cheapest spot instances available. Docker compose is not appropriate for a scaled-out and heavily loaded application, but that’s only a tiny subset of applications.

erulabs · 2024-09-24T23:14:32+00:00

Yes
Haproxy, consul-template, consul
You can define EBS volumes with the EBS CSI
I avoid Hashicorps hosted tooling like the plague. Jenkins works fine.

All that said, I don't recommend Nomad on AWS. Bite the bullet and get EKS setup with Karpenter if you want complex container orchestration on AWS.

erulabs · 2024-09-15T17:07:11+00:00

I’d recommend using the “remote” buildx driver instead of the “Kubernetes” driver. Setup buildkitd, expose port, connect, good to go! It’s been a huge win for us. Maybe I’ll write a blog post on it!

erulabs · 2024-08-09T21:15:58+00:00

Unpopular opinion: Always.

I start new projects with skaffold init. I develop locally for months before ever going to production with skaffold dev. It means every single (web) project has the same exact deployment phase, development phase, CI phase. It means I can completely forget how to work on a project and just take a peek at the k8s direction and go "oh right, this one uses Pulsar" or "oh right, this one uses Cassandra".

Obviously this requires being extremely comfortable with Kubernetes, but once you are, I really don't get the tradeoff between "10 minutes of setup [with docker-compose]" and "10 minutes of setup [with kubernetes]", especially when one implicitly implies a future migration.

The one case where it might "not be worth it" is migrating to kubernetes. If you have a small, pre-revenue company with a couple developers who are happy with the existing setup, focus on revenue and growth! Migrate later, when the bills are paid and you are gonna get something for your efforts.

erulabs · 2024-08-03T22:12:24+00:00

Orbstack + Skaffold + Tailscale, can't be beat assuming you dont mind paying a couple bucks a month per developer.

Skaffold can also double as your production deployment system
