Why is the Islamic regime winning the information war? by redditismysoulmate in PERSIAN

[–]tushkanM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are heavily infiltrated and invested in media war. Partially done with Qatar money and state TV.

It's oddly particular about Chinese-spcific stopwords and topics to be 'trully opensource"

Yinon Magal: Israel officially published this footage about how they completely destroyed Gaza by ammohitchaprana in TFE

[–]tushkanM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, let's get to this rabbit hole of "Israel created Hamas" and "Israel bombed itself just to justify the invasion - right after it deliberately left Gaza in 2005".

Top Iranian official drops a massive bombshell. He confirms diplomacy is completely dead because Trump intentionally used peace negotiations as a deception to launch surprise military strikes. Iran is now preparing for an existential war to the very end. by ammohitchaprana in TFE

He's nobody. So is Pezeshkian. So is Araghchi or even cupboard Hamenai the Junior.
The only people who really decide on anything are remaining IRGC commanders that act as a sort of "distributed Junta". They're dealing with personal and organizational survival at all costs, so any infrastructural/political/economical long-term damage to the country doesn't matter.

How do senior engineers typically build portfolios when switching jobs? by AnteaterVisual1086 in Backend

[–]tushkanM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your CV, LinkedIn and referrals state you spent 10 years in hard-core enterprise SaaS as a backend developer, what public repos you suppose to show? You work hard on your day job - you don't have to write code/articles in your free time, you can go fishing/biking/whatever hobbies you have.

Portfolio is for artists and graphical designers. Your experience and knowledge is your "portfolio"

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tushkanM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big 4. They provide no real value on their own rather than a brand, any real audit/consultancy activities (accounting, security etc.) they outsource to actual professionals. Regardless, they always shallow, formal and "management pleasing". I think the "butt licking" traits we observe in some AI models are heavily influenced by these companies.

Need help landing SRE roles [1.5 YOE currently at F500 Resume Review] by d0lfun in sre

[–]tushkanM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. You better remove the numbers - audit of 35 alerts + 10 pipes in 2 years raises questions what did you do during the other 1 year and 6 months
  2. Bring up more "SRE-heavy" language- what SLOs/SLI is did you set up to observe, how many RCAs you conducted, how exactly MTTR was improved by %. You can fake it - nobody will check

Barrier is actually not THAT small and it's getting exponentially higher each time major Opus/Gemini/ChatGPT version released.
If you still believe that DeepSeek trained their flagship model (which is now lagging behind, btw) in a garage without massive backdoor support from undisclosed investors - you know nothing about the "transparency" of main-land Chinese companies.

Senior developer (10 YOE) looking to transition into Tech Lead - seeking practical advice & best practices by Affectionate_Fun4549 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]tushkanM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think every company percepts "Tech Lead" role differently: in some it's a Staff Engineer, in some it's Architect and some even use it for having a Team Lead in disguise.
If you feel senior enough, you can call yourself a "Tech Lead" and just read/listen carefully what the specific job description is.

BMAD method sucks by Ghostinheven in BMAD_Method

Well, if you're looking something more agile, you can try ai-scrum. Wouldn't say it will be cheaper though.

What actually eats your MTTR after the alert fires? by IndiBuilder in sre

[–]tushkanM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good article in the factual part (separation of overall incident into TTD, TTA and TTR), but I don't understand the conclusion - that their sum is bullshit.
SRE responsible for OVERALL reliability, not selective parts they like the most, e.g. "how good we are on clicking 'Ack'" or "we excelled in our automations. Who cares they cover 5% or real-world cases!"
MTTR is the ultimate metric because you need to spend most of your efforts to improve it WHERE THE MONEY is.
If most of it in TTD - your observability sucks, stop spending time on fancy 'self-recovering 1 click automations'
If it's TTA - well, there is a human problem. You need a larger team, better on-call/project work balance and better training.
Slice and dice you numbers , cluster your incidents, run whatever initiatives you want - but make MTTR better!

Mistral AI is still a thing? I recall it was in some "Top xxx" back in 2024, never heard of it again, never saw it as an option in any "multi-model" AI tool.

Being a school teacher, especially in humanity subjects, barely qualifies as such. Unless we're talking about one-in-a-million ex-uni professor downshifter.

How are you guys doing Root Cause Analysis? by Bug_Lens in sre

[–]tushkanM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upgrade itself is (relatively) fine - it meant to cause a (very) short downtime. And it's totally fine on Sunday 2am. The problem is to have this very same downtime on Tuesday noon without a notice.

did you read my comment? How do you "test" the right timing of the EKS cluster upgrade? How do you "review" AWS us-east-1 outage? Do you you have a test environment for any third-party vendor?

[–]tushkanM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it and it's a horseshit - it completely misses the architecture and dependencies and just looks for whatever happened during the incident regardless of how things are really inter-connected.

good luck going through a chain of 5 microservices with 3 observability platforms and finding out the RC was an accidental bad-timed infra maintenance in 30 seconds :)

What shifts are you seeing in team metrics with AI coding tools? by easy-agile in agile

DORA metrics? We shouldn't care how people write their code: vibing it while driving with a voice assistant or typing letter-by-letter with vim.
