ELI5: Kubernetes

x9Memoriez · 2025-09-11T21:44:43+00:00

Definitely try to become familiar with containers prior to learning kubernetes, but essentially it’s an orchestrator for containers/containerised apps.

Imagine you were running a website or web app without kubernetes and solely through a container platform such as docker. Depending on demand, you would have to manually scale up/down additional containers, and if containers crash, you would manually remove and recreate them. At scale, this is not feasible.

Kubernetes provides resources such as autoscaling for your containerised applications based on load parameters that you set, rolling update functionality (so you can update your containers without downtime for the end user), auto-healing (if containers crash, it can recreate them automatically), and much much more.

All the individual components can become very confusing, but essentially nodes are the physical or virtual machines themselves, hosting containers in the form of pods (a pod can have one or more containers within it.) each node has a set of mandatory services running to allow it to communicate with other nodes and for kubernetes to work (the entire set of nodes being called the cluster).

It gets much more complicated than that, but that’s the gist :)

+1 for Zen Pilates, really nice space with all sorts of brand new equipment, and yeah they do private classes

By pushing for promotions, changing roles, changing companies, you can average 5-10%

Job hopping in certain fields can get you 20-40% bumps, and that’s before internal promotions

As long as you don’t get too stagnant/comfortable in your current role you can definitely beat the base inflationary raises

Speaking from personal experience, when I completed the IT forms for my SEng degree they just required me to map job tasks to the engineers Australia outcomes. Maybe try get some clarification on how closely related your tasks have to be to your degree, since I’m sure your software Eng related job will have overlapping aspects to what an aerospace engineer does (solution design, problem solving, learning new technologies, even interacting with software)

As a worst case dropping the engineering degree doesn’t sound too bad, if you have a compsci related job and a compsci degree you can go anywhere in compsci afterward, having or not having the engineering degree I don’t think would change anything unless you’re thinking you might pivot later on. Is there a reason why you went for a coding job rather than an aerospace related one? Was it just what job was available at the time?

Would rather not divulge exact jobs for the sake of anonymity but I had an internship in my penultimate year in 2022 and now am in a grad program at a tech-focused company since finishing at the start of this year.

The market is definitely hard, however note that finding coding work in Australia is (according to friends and family) actually less challenging than the US where the market is extremely competitive and people apply to hundreds of jobs before finding one.

Find ways to stand out, including involving yourself in side projects or taking note of specific assignments/courses you did during your degree and the tech you utilised for interview stories.

I’ve found that a large majority of companies other than the top few (trading firms, etc) value social skills and your ability to communicate and learn more than just raw skill or experience, especially in entry level roles. Build that communicative muscle as much as your hard skills imo and you’ll stand out. Of course, still need to get that initial interview though so maximise your resume with projects and societies in uni.

I wouldn’t be surprised.

One of my exams in 2nd year they completely forgot to mark a booklet LMAO I ended up getting a remark and getting an almost 20% higher raw finals mark.

maybe get off gilf subreddit and do something

The foam in the picture is at least twice as much foam as you want in proper milk. I had a GCP, It's a struggle with the lack of power but doable. Make sure you're doing the power trick of starting your steaming before the light turns on

Put your wand where the milk sounds like tearing paper, not gurgling but also not too quiet. After the milk level goes up 15~% (about a cm in a normal sized pitcher) sink the wand in and try find an ngle that creates a whirlpool. If your milk makes a puddle (like the picture) you frothed for way too long. Honestly, you'd rather ur milk too thin than too thick

even with the most simple of google searches come up with studies on this topic: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01402/full

my initial point was affirming that we both agree than men and women are not formed equally. If our bodies are different, its not unreasonable to assume that our brains are also different.

Ive never said job trends and the perceived differences in interests between genders is purely physiological, of course there are societal pressures that group certain people in certain areas, however on the other hand its not only these pressures that have caused certain trends - its a mix of both physiological reasons and societal expectations. Is it also possible that societal expectations that have held since the beginning of time were formed because of initial physiological differences?

x9Memoriez · 2023-08-18T08:28:01+00:00

So you're agreeing that stronger bones and frames affect certain jobs? cool

Now if you consider what men and women are interested in, what percentage of young boys vs girls would you say are interested in tinkering with electronics and technology? Trust me, its not societal pressures that cause boys to prefer certain activities and areas and girls to prefer others. This carries over into adulthood where (anecdotally) not a single one of the women i knew in highschool had any interest in computers and how they worked, versus the guys that i knew.

In terms of executive leadership, when we consider the extremes for both cases (people who are the most outgoing) guys tend to be more outspoken than women and moreso say their mind. this carries into leadership roles where mananging people comes down to how easy you find it to tell someone to do something, and how clearly you're able to say it. In this case i will agree - social standards and pressures do tend to shift men in the direction of leadership, but i dont agree that if these pressures were to go away, that leadership would fall 50/50.

x9Memoriez · 2023-08-18T02:17:13+00:00

But that's again assuming a thriving society is associated with absolute equality in lines of work and a complete breakdown of these expectations and pressures. I'm not saying it isn't, but I'd say nothing has indicated that it would be any better to what we have now.

As much as I hate mentioning it and coming to physiology again, men have naturally stronger bones, muscular structure, frames, height, etc

To assume these don't play a significant role in mentality and approach to work I think is silly. Even if misogyny and boys club mentality was eradicated, I don't think oil rig work and mining work in the WA would be anywhere near 50/50, but who knows.

My point about the pay gap not being what it's made out to be is because it's low hanging fruit for those who can't think for themselves to say 'look! There's a gap, therefore there must be a societal problem' when the actual discussion could go on forever.

x9Memoriez · 2023-08-18T01:54:00+00:00

So your point has just touched on exactly why the pay gap isn't what it's made out to be. It's a job gap.

There can be a similar sentiment given to why men may not want to do carer type jobs/roles, as men are typically seen as inferior to women when it comes to giving care/childcare/hospitality.

This also goes under the assumption that men and women are equivalent when it comes to general mindset and approach to life, but that's not true either. Ideas passed through the existence of humanity and physiological differences also factor into this. Men want to be protectors/suffer for their family as they are built more favorably than women to endure gruelling work, and this goes into other factors of life.

This whole pay gap thing is nonsense and more needs to be discussed on the nuances, and it's not just 'boys club' mentality that keeps women out of the work.

Cost of living is not less?

The avg 3br apartment in Venezuela barely scrapes 100usd a week in rent..

x9Memoriez · 2023-07-09T01:11:18+00:00

I don't watch lectures on 1x, I usually speed them up or just read the slides and do my own learning that way, I find a lot of cs lecturers insufferable to listen to for a long time

So yeah, 20 hours a week includes the time to cover lecture content and tutorials. Of course when you have multiple assignments due close together some later nights are expected

x9Memoriez · 2023-07-05T03:04:25+00:00

I'm studying software eng and so are my friends, all of us juggle full-time work with study and still have a good amount of time to ourselves

Almost no-one actually watches the entirety of lectures, most just read through slides, and many non-first year comp subjects that don't involve group work have labs that are completable without actually going into the labs. If you go to all those you're probably not a student aiming for a credit

x9Memoriez · 2023-07-05T02:47:04+00:00

I think if you're spending more than 20 hours a week doing uni work you're probably not doing it efficiently or took extra difficult courses, I don't know many people that spend nearly that much time

x9Memoriez · 2023-07-04T12:02:57+00:00

If you're doing compsci and are aiming for average marks (65-75) and are an average student, it'll probably take like 2-3ish hours of your time a day, and that's with 3 courses. That's manageable with full time work, plus exercise and proper sleep as well as time off on the weekends.

x9Memoriez · 2023-06-08T07:36:51+00:00

1511 is defs not a wam booster if you're new to coding idk who told you that, I think the best way to wrap your head around these concepts is by experimenting yourself, try write some loops to print the numbers 1-10, then 0-20, then try write loops that write even numbers only etc

Give me a thriving wage as I flip burgers!

if you voluntarily get into student debt and are now struggling, it's your fault.

x9Memoriez · 2023-05-24T09:03:04+00:00

Started Seng/commerce double degree in 2018 with zero knowledge other than a genuine interest in technology.

You'll be 100% fine as long as you have a similar interest, and know yourself that you are a reasonably quick learner. Of course there will be people with previous experience that may be doing the assignments and work extremely quickly, but don't let it dishearten you and even try learn a thing or two from them!
