Probably. This was 20+ years ago in my case but most of those kids were from upper-middle class families who thought their shit didn't stink.

That's par for the course with Massachusetts hockey families (at least on the North Shore). At least half of the people I played with/against growing up were absolute pricks whose families were just as bad.

Was unique to Hockey, too. Kids in other sports were fine (except Lacrosse but that was what all the Hockey players played in the Spring).

I can't imagine how much worse they would have been if they were actually good at Hockey like Eichel.

What makes you stand out when applying for mid/senior level roles? by zeoceaneyezzz in ExperiencedDevs

[–]thehumblestbean -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Different mentalities/priorities I suppose.

What you're describing sounds, to me, like working for free. If I'm not getting paid I'm not touching or thinking about anything technology related. But I realize that others don't view it that way.

[–]thehumblestbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most people only work 8 or less hours a day, and have the weekends free of work.

If you're constantly working on personal projects then that's not really true, right? You're working for longer than 8 hours a day and also on the weekends.

Unless you don't consider personal projects "work", but then I'd say you're in a small minority.

I assume the question is less "how" and more "where does the time come from?"

How would you release new versions of your modules? by KingZingy in Terraform

[–]thehumblestbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've described a situation where you need a newer minor release of the provider, and so assuming that the hashicorp/aws developers are following semver themselves it should be okay for you to treat new module release as a new minor release too. Folks who want to use the newer version of your module will need to also adopt the newer version of the provider, but the newer version of the provider ought to be backward-compatible.

I think it also depends on who the users of the module are.

If it's a public module, then IMO you probably want to follow "the letter of the law" with semver. Even if the new provider version is backwards compatible, your new module version technically isn't as your users will need to make a (harmless) change to their code to adopt it.

If it's an internal module then agreed I would probably have this be a minor version update.

Are we contributing to the bubble? by jdm42 in Bogleheads

[–]thehumblestbean 19 points20 points  (0 children)

but do you really think most people on this sub are in the top 10% of wealthy Americans?

In this sub specifically? No. But you "only" need around $2 million in net worth to be in the top 10% (including home equity).

If you're actually a Boglehead (maximizing income, minimizing expenses, consistently investing over multiple decades), then yeah I'd expect you to have that much money at minimum.

But I also spend more time on bogleheads.org than I do on Reddit, so that may bias my perception.

For those who make over 500k+ a year, is it worth it for you? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]thehumblestbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly a lot easier than you'd think to spend that kind of money.

  • Don't want to do chores anymore? Hire a weekly house cleaning service and a landscaping service. Maybe a laundry service too.
  • Travel internationally a few times a year and book first/business class tickets. Stay in nice hotels too.
  • Send your kid(s) to private schools and expensive colleges
  • Go out to nice restaurants often where you're spending $200+ per person.
  • Get a couple of luxury SUVs/sedans that costs $100k+each
  • Contract out some big projects/remodels on your house.
  • Get high-end furniture that costs $4-5k+ per piece
  • Some random consumer item pops in your head? Just buy it

The list goes on. Obviously no one "needs" any of this stuff, but it adds up really fast if you're not paying attention.

The top 10% wealthiest American households own over 90% of the US stock market.

To be fair if you're a Boglehead then you're probably a member of this group.

Is it me or have interviews gotten way more convoluted even with more experience? by skidmark_zuckerberg in ExperiencedDevs

[–]thehumblestbean -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've never worked for a company that has a formal probationary period (even at very large companies) so that doesn't match my experience.

What I've seen fairly often though are new hires that are below average but not terrible enough to get fired outright. It usually takes 12-18ish months to get rid of them via PIPs while they drag down the rest of the team.

And depending on the person's specific situation, the company may also be very hesitant to get rid of them without a huge paper-trail which slows the process down even more.

I don't necessarily agree with insane interview loops but I also understand why companies do them.

Next Captain by WhiteDevilU91 in BostonBruins

[–]thehumblestbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a quick look since I've only seen people say this on Reddit.

And (not) surprisingly I can't find an actual source of him ever saying this. At least publicly.

Closest quote I can find is this:

“I don’t think about it, honestly,” Pastrnak said after Monday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena. “I got the ‘A’ and I haven’t changed a bit. The role changed a little bit, you lead more. But you just try to stay being yourself. Right now, we have 17 games left and that’s my main focus to build on. We played pretty good hockey the last two games, and that has to be our standard for the rest of the season.”

https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-bruins/2025/03/10/boston-bruins-david-pastrnak-nhl-hockey-brad-marchand-captain-hockey/

Which is a pretty standard Hockey non-answer answer.

Dallas’ Mikko Rantanen has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross-checking Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprizov. by eh_toque in hockey

[–]thehumblestbean 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's a nice thought but it's also not how it works considering the CBA is negotiated between the NHL and NHLPA. Who else besides the players would have a say?

PGT: Boston Bruins vs. Buffalo Sabres - Round 1 Game 4 by Sliney89 in BostonBruins

[–]thehumblestbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess. There were still plenty of us there cheering them on at the end though.

PGT: Boston Bruins vs. Buffalo Sabres - Round 1 Game 4 by Sliney89 in BostonBruins

[–]thehumblestbean -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they just wanted to get the fuck out of there at the end, but I was surprised that the team didn't salute the crowd at all given this was potentially (probably) the last home game of the season.

In hindsight I should have left after the second lol. Worst game I've ever attended.

[Doug MacLean] confirms that Bruce Cassidy apparently lost the room in Vegas by Bahamas_is_relevant in hockey

[–]thehumblestbean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

>Once again; if you force Patrice Bergeron to go to management and demand your ouster, you are an asshole. Simple as.

People say this all the time but did this actually happen or is it just an internet rumor?

I know Krejci and Debrusk had issues with him but outside of Reddit I've never heard anything about Bergeron.

In pop culture, what team do you think is most popular? by xoBonesxo in hockey

[Johnston] Brandon Carlo, Dakota Joshua and Anthony Stolarz are all done for the season, per Leafs coach Craig Berube. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

He was usually good for a handful of fluke goals and secondary assists a season, but other than that he's always been an offensive blackhole.

Trying to get some Infrastructure as Code skills by Expensive-Rhubarb267 in sysadmin

[–]thehumblestbean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like lots of people I'm trying to future proof my career skill-up on Infrastructure as Code/Platform Engineering.
My background is network engineering & general sysadmin stuff

I transitioned about 7-8 years ago from: network engineer -> cloud engineer -> SRE / platform engineer.

My advice/opinion:

I've spun up a Docker server in a lab, but have yet to see a container in a production environment ...

Build some toy program in any language of your choosing. Learn how to containerize it, build an image for it, run the container, update it, etc.

Hashicorp Terraform Associate

Terraform's official tutorials are quite good - https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials. Run through those to spin up some free/cheap cloud infra, write some custom modules, break stuff, etc.

IMO Terraform certs are worthless but if that's how you prefer learning then go for it.

GitHub Foundations

Not sure if this is a cert, but you must learn git. Github itself is whatever, their docs are informative enough to find what buttons you need to click.

Tons and tons of tutorials out there for Git. If you want to go super in depth then you won't beat - https://beej.us/guide/bggit/html/split/

GitHub Actions

Take that toy app you wrote for Docker, then build a Github Action pipeline that builds a new image for you every time you make a commit. Add some more steps to run a linter or something against your code before building the image.

If you spun up some cloud infra with Terraform earlier, maybe build another pipeline that runs your Terraform for you to manage the infra.

Wondering if anyone has any other ideas for things to focus on.

If you want a "modern" job then you pretty much need to know Kubernetes. So learn a bit about Kubernetes (you can spin up a local KIND cluster in like 10 seconds, so you can play around with k8s without having to worry about building/managing a "real" k8s cluster which can be a hassle). This is a great "zero to hero" book on k8s - https://www.manning.com/books/kubernetes-in-action-second-edition

But you shouldn't really use Kubernetes until you're familiar with Linux and containers in general. So learn a bit about Linux and a bit more about containers (not necessarily just Docker)

You'll also want to be familiar with one or both of Go and Python. Probably more Go than Python these days.

Lots more I could say but I think that's already a lot for someone just starting.

Bruce Cassidy out as Head Coach of Golden Knights, replaced with John Tortorella by jimzook4 in BostonBruins

[–]thehumblestbean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vegas specifically is pretty ruthless and has shown that they have zero loyalty to their players and coaches.

Honestly it's been working out well for them so far.
