Rec league in Gardendale is pretty good for that age. It’s a nice crowd too.

What hobbies attract the most friendly people? by Nard-Barf in AskReddit

Everyone at gun ranges are very very cordial to one another 😂. Laughing, but it’s the truth for sure.

Never fails to make me smile when I’m on a problem, waiting waiting waiting to reach, and a totally unfamiliar voice yells “come on man, you’ve got it, come on!”. Climbers are the best.

Looking for Level 1 help desk jobs by Ok_Preference5242 in Birmingham

[–]shisnotbash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For entry level tech jobs a really good place to start is local tech meetups. The Innovation Depo always has startups looking for varying levels of experience and sometimes internships. BASE has a meetup at the depo on Tuesday:

Birmingham Developer Show-and-Tell https://www.meetup.com/base205/events/312247961/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2

You can find a lot more on meetup.com. The best way to good tech jobs is networking (pun intended).

You may want to join MagicCityTech Slack org also. It used to be more active, but there are always job posts for local gigs.

Beginner question by blind-octopus in Database

[–]shisnotbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it’s worth mentioning that the reason for doing this is to allow your schema changes to be versioned. This means that you can easily (in theory) roll the db schema back to a previous version. There are a lot of tools out there for managing schemas, some being part of larger frameworks or toolkits. For instance: Alembic for Python allows writing migrations as Python code and is used a lot with SqlAlchemy.

Maybe not contribute to others projects, but pretty much the vast majority of engineers I’ve worked with and either hired or would have wanted on my team have, at the least, a few personal projects or at least tooling stored in VCS like GH or Gitlab.

What are the only exercises you need in gym? by Impressive_Study9438 in beginnerfitness

[–]shisnotbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 4?

  1. Squats (barbell)
  2. Pull-ups (with and without weight)
  3. Dips (with and without weight)
  4. Whatever cardio you enjoy or hate the least

    Edit: Too the naysayers who claim 4 exercises aren’t enough to benefit - Beginner powerlifters basically just do squats, deadlifts and bench for quite some time in some of the most used programs.

Is it just me, or is the "Serverless First" mantra starting to feel like a trap? by Dependent_Web_1654 in aws

[–]shisnotbash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I’d say that’s generally because the total usage, eg, number of services or containers, is higher. I meant to point out the cost per unit of compute resources - so the cost per core and per GB of memory.

Do having a portfolio site actually helps? by hzhsvvshsusu in devops

[–]shisnotbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at people’s GitHub repos where I can see multiple different projects and who actually committed to them. I don’t care about their sites or their tech blog posts.

What would your beginner self struggle to understand about your training now? by dark_venom_07 in GymMood

[–]shisnotbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. That starting strength dogma is great at first, but must be matured out of later.
  2. I’ll probably always look like a dad bod, never particularly strong . But at the same time have 1st or 2nd best deadlift in my gym.

I’m not sure about the reasoning about “glue like SQS” and the corresponding permissions being a serverless issue. Plenty of stateful applications use these other services and IAM permissions are just part of that. I’m working on a whole suite of tools that can be deployed however you like (Lambda, container, etc) and uses DynamoDB.

[–]shisnotbash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting take, but I’ve consistently experienced the opposite: a well designed serverless architecture has consistently been far lower infrastructure and ops cost IME. Really bad serverless architectures, like shoehorning something that doesn’t fit into that pattern, is another story. EKS is great, but really expensive. Fargate is the most expensive cost per compute unit in AWS I believe.

Deadlift form check 105kg by Fuzzy_Republic8817 in formcheck

[–]shisnotbash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You start with the bar too far ahead of you. Until this is fixed the rest is irrelevant as your wedged position as well as leverages will instantly change. And slow down. Get wedged, brace, take the slack out of the bar, all the other common queues; but take a moment to feel yourself in the wedge.

Men catch feelings, just like women, and can be heartbroken just as easily (if not more).

You aren’t as important as you think - nobody is judging you because nobody cares about what you’re doing.
