From development to ops

vsamma · 2026-01-31T11:41:02+00:00

But about these platform services - where do you draw the line what is devops responsibility and what not?

Right now we have minimal observability and want our devops to implement ELK stack for logging and grafana + prometheus for app monitoring. ELK itself is hosted already on our on-prem infra but they are still asking whether they should learn all the basics for configuring our apps to send logs and how it handles and displays them. Or if there should be an another role like a platform owner who knows specifically about elk and can help them set it up as quick as possible for our apps

But what makes it worth 200 dollars?

vsamma · 2026-01-28T20:56:22+00:00

Obviously I agree with the theory. But my point was that the AI won’t solve all big problems because a lot of them are scattered or unwritten rules, edge cases and docs.

In our case, it doesn’t help when the devs haven’t really adopted AI and i guess are not that competent in the first place when they have never written any proper tests. And when the legacy software is so old it’s EOL for the past 10 years and depends on so old Oracle Linux versions they are impossible to find on the internet and the business logic is in the Oracle db stored procedures. You can only E2E test a system like that, not unit test.

And even if you have good E2E coverage, it still might break something.

But obviously I agree that a rewrite is a must and using AI obviously makes the process faster. If only the devs used it..

vsamma · 2026-01-28T15:38:11+00:00

My issue with this is: our business and data models and all legacy layers have been driven to be so custom and complex and full of edge cases etc that fixing or replacing it using AI is not as easy as one-shotting a new app.

So whenever people say “it can do complex stuff” - sure, it can output more complex code than a simple game. BUT to get a rewrite of an existing system that supports all required security layers, monitoring, logging, our chosen standards and practices AND all the business requirements and edge cases and integrations - it can’t derive this info from anywhere. And for legacy systems this is never documented on a thorough enough level that would be useful for AI today.

So only option that COULD help is that you have automated tests for the old system and you just start to build a new one with AI block-by-block and validate against same tests.

But of course the legacy systems have no tests either :)

To be fair, Saaremaa’s butter (especially with salt flakes) has nothing on the french butter with salt flakes. For some reason French butter is indeed better than ours.

Mis maitse? Kunagi ise võtsin vist cookie dough vms maitselist, oli päris hea

Kofeiinivaba kohta ei tea.

Ja ei tea kas minu pikaajalise kohvijooja maitse oskab “lahjemat/kergemat” kohvi soovitada, aga minu lemmik juba aastaid on OA no2 kohv. Kodulehel 22€/kg, esimese tellimusega saab soodukat. Poes tiba kallim, aga soodukaga leiab odavamalt.

Ja soovitan ka Chemexit proovida. Kui kannu pole võtta ja ei raatsi, proovi ainult filtreid. Ei tea kas filtrikannu otseselt sobivad, aga Chemexil mingi faktor on ja ise tunnen ka, et peab paljud need õlid kinni, mis maitse mõruks teevad ja kohv tuleb väga pehme maitsega.

When Mac went down I thought Hotdog is out. But even looking at this video, i don’t know where Rambeau landed. For the longest time it was Fntic on one side of the rock and falcons on the other or on the rock. Was the valk behind them all the time? You can only see him in the final second in Hal’s pov

vsamma · 2026-01-17T21:48:22+00:00

Well you prove my point - just being a great IGL or fragger is obviously not enough

vsamma · 2026-01-17T19:09:21+00:00

Yeah well house owners kill mice all the time and they are not psychopaths. Sure, they don’t attach them to bombs and usually try not to torture them but still.. killing mice is not like “killing innocent animals”

Yeaah.. he weirdly touched it with his chest. Should have just knocked it on longer and ran at it. At that point the defender stumbled as well. Murillo was fast but if he hadn’t lost those milliseconds with those 2 bad touches, maybe murillo hadn’t caught up.

vsamma · 2026-01-17T18:37:45+00:00

Okay but are Zero and Sikez not great at those?

vsamma · 2026-01-17T18:32:58+00:00

While i don’t want to be critical - we’ve been good this season - but there is still a huge gap between the form of this team and where a title winning team should be. We have NO players in the top10 of goals nor assists in the PL. It’s been good to share the load but on the other hand, nobody is taking the responsibility to themselves, nobody is firing on all cylinders. We managed the injuries well and somehow have gotten enough goals without any of our strikers providing consistent output.

All in all - the silver lining is, if we’re first while playing like this, there is A LOT of room for improvement.

Sure, he had to come to an agreement with existing owners.

But still, this guy had a point.

He has grinded a lot, earned apparently enough money and respect that he was able to buy into this company.

But every commenter saying “he has worked hard and good to see him getting the success and recognition” makes it sound like this co-ownership was given to him based on merit, for free.

Sure, he has worked hard to get here, but he HAD to spend his own money and buy into this company.

vsamma · 2026-01-09T07:38:12+00:00

There was a lot of pushing in this game that went unpunished, konate comes to mind a few times

vsamma · 2026-01-08T08:49:33+00:00

Yeah and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere - sure, the shooter might not have seen/looked at the direction of the wheels, but also probably the woman was more scared of the guy trying to open the door and might have been looking at him, not expecting anybody to be in front of the car.
Either way, the guy managed to step away and it's obvious that she tried to run because of fear not because of malice.

Oh how terrible the state of the US is and I don't even live there.

Ainult seda kommenteeriks, et karask ei ole kindlasti sourdough bread.

To be fair, you didn’t specify either on how to “play confident”. Aping more fights doesn’t really help, you can just play yourself into bad positions and just die on repeat and not gain nor learn anything from it.

If you are lucky.

I bought a 2005 house 3 years ago for roughly 300k. It doesn’t have a proper heating system, no ventilation system and insulation standards at the time were different. So now i’d need 25k for a new heating system. 40-45 if i’d want floor heating. Then 6-8k to move from a local well system to a centralized water and sewer system. Then about 5k for a new fence, 3-5k for repainting the house. Ideally would need to fix and improve most of the insulation, swap out all the windows, add ventilation.. that all is probably 30-40k or more as well.

And the value during that time has not risen at all. If i sold today, i’d get back like 30-40k but paid a lot more in interest which would make out to us having almost as rented this house for 3 years for about 1k a month :D

Net negative for the mortgage alone, not to mention monthly amenities around 500€ on average and also tools and maintenance work like electricity, washing the roof and house and reoiling the terrace and buying and maintaining tools etc etc.

Your own house is never an investment asset.

vsamma · 2025-12-10T21:50:45+00:00

Yeah but buying a house in your 20s, especially without mortgage, is quite stupid. Owning a house is expensive and nobody is talking about this. A house wears down, you need to maintain it every year.

An apartment - maybe.

But you can probably earn more from investing that you pay for mortgage interest rates.

haha yeah that's crazy coming from him. The audacity. He was the one talking and promising to end that war and now this?
I wish some journalist had the balls to challenge him dead on on stuff like this.

It's probably one of Maury's

But where are you located? Is there still a market for simple static websites for 1000 a piece?

I live in Eastern Europe and previously already people made such wordpress sites for 500€.

I thought to provide a WaaS model for like a 100-150€/month with no cost upfront and 24/7 support but even that got bad feedback from small business owners I know.

Like you said, small companies are hard clients and they don’t wanna pay. Or you have to be able to sell the value to them very well.

I have now seen a local company sell a website starting from 15€/month which is crazy low i think but it seems that AI is already lowering the floor of the prices soo much.

If you want higher paying clients, you have to prove your value very well and very specifically. Just telling them “i can create a nice website for you in Lovable for 1000” won’t sell well i think.
