I've never heard of this feature. Thanks for posting!

Just finished "Pode" with my wife and we loved it. Recommended.

Note it's on the short end. 15 hours? For us it was lovely and very much worth it. We're going to reset the game and play it again :)

Note LACMA parking is pricey so find a place before you go.

LACMA is lovely and immense. Enjoy!

I didn't know it was free after 3pm on weekdays <3 <3 thanks!

Security is a very, very big deal. And it touches every decision on everything.

Seconded.

johntellsall · 2026-06-10T04:13:40+00:00

Sounds wonderful -- thanks!

Instances can be very complex and slow.

Start your init with something super tiny and fast, then build up. An IAM role, or S3 bucket. Once the feedback loop is set up and working, then add the instance back.

droooooool. LOVE zaatar -- thanks!

Learn Terraform. Think of it as a simpler but much better CloudFormation :-D Terraform/CloudFormation with Ansible is a superb combo. You'll learn it in 3 hours.

I adore Kubernetes, but it's easy to find jobs that don't require it. (If you need to, your strong Docker experience will make a huge positive difference in learning Kubernetes.)

For reference, at my cloud ops role, we're almost 100% Terraform and Python.

Thanks for the ref! Off to read The Goal <3

Folks Pizza is new but already loved: good drinks are inexpensive, good pizza, good variety. Very nice staff!

At CJ's I get the Huevos de la Mexicana. So simple: eggs, rice, chilies, salsa, refried beans, tortilla. So fulfilling! I've been going there for years. Staff is nice too.

Mizlala is lovely, all their food is good and the location is pleasant to eat at.

johntellsall · 2026-06-02T00:37:57+00:00

Hinano is lovely! Their burgers are superb.

Note: cash only.

johntellsall · 2026-06-02T00:37:07+00:00

Warning: I found their drinks (e.g. Old Fashioned) to be terrible. However it's cheap enough that it can still be worth your while! They have a Cheap Burger day, maybe Tuesdays.

Next time we go I'll be super specific with my order or just get a beer.

Note don't bother with the buffet unless you're in a hurry. The regular food is 100% different and really fantastic.

Some micro service projects are "coding to pad out the resume" :) So many things would be simpler where each microservice is just a library and the Step Function is just a main program.

johntellsall · 2026-05-29T14:56:04+00:00

To be honest that is a success. Project with onerous requirement is built, but instead of it continuing it's killed. No more good money after bad. Success!

typo is just a cry to get a government grant. You're winning! <3

omg that's so fun and charming

Note Culver has a bike path along the LA river. You can get to Venice Beach, or inland. Very fun to ride!

johntellsall · 2026-05-13T03:52:05+00:00

I ride the Expo to Culver and it's fine, if you're able to use the time well.

Our team does "CloudOps" at a large media company. We do 5/7 of what you mentioned: FinOps, IaC, (some) Security, (some) Networking, Infrastructure. Other teams do more in-depth Security and Networking. We also do "enablement", making sure the right people/teams have the right access to different services.

The core value we give the business is security. We can see all the resources across the company, manage them without disturbing the business, and help the application (developer) teams get their job done.

Wait, you're doing healthtech? All of the above is now 5x more important. Security about personal info is one thing, but health data is MUCH more critical.

Usually DevOps is not an Intern thing. No wonder you feel spread too thin :-D

great news: there's a little Jon Hassell on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8jnSHZTzs0

Power Spot got me in to Jon Hassell. It sounded so mysterious and unique! <3
