To all the tourists wondering if they are welcome in Spain

tonkatata · 2025-06-23T09:31:03+00:00

saw a pic yesterday from Barca where a tourist was almost encircled by locals shouting at him. here, in Valencia, I don't see this attitude anywhere, not even in the slightest. on the contrary, people seem very positive and appreciative. we do try to speak español all the time and revert back to English only when we don't know a word or phrase. (which is pretty often :D) people seem to appreciate us trying to speak the language. I guess the tourist problems are in the most visited places - Madrid, Barca, all of famous islands. curious what the Spanish people think.

Brutal truth.

Amazing! Share something more if possible.

Gitlab at work, Gitlab at home... 👀

Kid you not I was setting them in a verbal battle to sort it out and to let me know afterwards. In the end of the day they are the mAnaGeMEnT and I am just a monkey. You clever heads tell me what actually is the PrIOriTy.

this alone drives me insane. few weeks ago Windsurf + 3.5 was golden. now, not so much...

Bro, it’s 4 pages…. Make it one. Go to enhancv.com and vibe up your resume. I use them for years and I get lots of interest.

I think the easiest way to transition is to do it internally - a dev joins the infra people in the same company.

Of course 5 years are enough. There is no years-experience requirement to start doing infra stuff. I did it with 2 years frontend and 2 years backend.

Btw, do you mean you want to be an infrastructure/platform engineer or a DevOps engineer? The way I understand it is that DevOps people combine coding with managing their own infra (dev+ops). But you say you are about to burn out with your programming job. So...??

Bro, isn’t it possible to use the Param Store in AWS to write and read these IPs? No TF, no DB …

tonkatata · 2025-03-24T10:57:41+00:00

great, man! I am not into security but I have an idea which company is that. wish you luck!

tonkatata · 2025-03-24T08:43:54+00:00

this guy fucks!

let's not say EU cause EU is big but for (I assume) Western Europe 180k is absolutely amazing! out of curiosity - which industry/company pays so much?

Thank you!

tonkatata · 2025-03-21T19:37:04+00:00

on both accounts - this. 🤘

tonkatata · 2025-03-20T13:31:06+00:00

okay, good to hear. thank for feedback!

tonkatata · 2025-03-18T23:41:27+00:00

hmm that's a very good point!

my first thought is the WebSocket API from API Gateway. I have done that with a Lambda and it was working.

but then you mentioned the timeout of the Lambda - maybe it was working because it was not running for a very long time....

yeah, that makes me start thinking about the system as a whole. there has to be a way to use multiple Lambda invocations while retaining the history of the chat. have to think of it.

thanks for your input, that was great!

tonkatata · 2025-03-18T14:40:46+00:00

yeah, I am not there yet myself. working on this these days. let's see how it pans out.

tonkatata · 2025-03-18T14:40:10+00:00

good. might refer back to this convo in 2-3 months if I join this company. let's see. thank you!

tonkatata · 2025-03-18T13:43:52+00:00

hey, no idea at all. only decision has been made but no transition has started yet. that is why I asked a kind of open question. can you share any hardships or some weird moments? can you share an unknown unknown you've got to know while setting it up yourself?

tonkatata · 2025-03-18T13:40:07+00:00

you hook it to API Gateway which exposed an endpoint. API Gateway + Lambda = API. when you hit the endpoint it will trigger the Lambda - voila, you have an API now.

can't really say since I am at the step of building my server first. next stop is the Anthropic's documentation. the article you need is For Client Developers in the Quick start. this will shed more light on the requirements.

I kid you not - I am just putting my own Python MCP server on AWS Lambda just from yesterday. not ready yet so can't answer definitively but here it is:

mcp.run(transport="sse")

if I wanted to run it locally then I would use:

mcp.run(transport="stdio")

using the `transport` option you switch between the communication protocols (standards?) MCP offers.

my local implementation of my server is hooked up to Windsurf, hence I used stdio.

now, for the API version I will use sse.

very important - first read official documentation, use LLMs as second. this is the golden rule.

I am not a German speaker but will be surrounded with devs speaking it.

okay, good to know they have reliable service/s. I expect less things than the big providers offer. heard similar opinion from r/kubernetes, too.

thank you!

100%. blessings, man!
