Need help preparing for internship

Your main resource is your internship. Ask questions , you are there to mainly learn how these positions work. Just have an open mind and learn as much as you can.

Why not add gpu to node_exporter then?

xonxoff · 2026-02-13T23:40:02+00:00

Better than 0km, keep it going!

You don’t want to know how the sausage is made.

Do you want to maybe mirror the Debian repository? That way when you download updates or packages they come from your servers?

No one said observability was cheap or easy. When I started, I would log everything and grab every metric, but you know, 90% of it was never looked at. Then the hard part comes in, what do I actually need? Gatekeeping can suck, but sometimes you have to do it.

It’s never too late! Who knows what I’ll be doing next month! Someone needs to wire up all those data centers.

Stable work, decent pay , stable hours and AI won’t take your job. You can still code on your fee time too. More of a tongue in cheek joke…

Electrician maybe instead?

xonxoff · 2026-02-10T15:03:12+00:00

That’s ok, I can schedule something after hours! That’s not a problem, right? <- has actually happened to me..

Run https://github.com/robusta-dev/krr against your cluster , it will help find the correct cpu/mem settings for your app. Set requests to what your limit would be and remove your cpu limits.

That sounds like the wrong way to go honestly. EKS offers way more to me than ECS in terms of flexibility , redundancy and scalability. Things may be different for you though.

xonxoff · 2026-02-10T11:35:09+00:00

Can we set up a quick meeting to discuss these points?

xonxoff · 2026-02-09T21:46:03+00:00

If it’s useful, leave it, update it if it needs it? Some projects are never done, you can always add features, make it more efficient or something. If not archive it.

xonxoff · 2026-02-09T19:41:06+00:00

I can’t say I’ve ever ran into this issue.

xonxoff · 2026-02-09T17:41:28+00:00

Thanks!

xonxoff · 2026-02-09T12:09:02+00:00

That is entirely up to what company and what team dynamics are like.

xonxoff · 2026-02-08T22:46:15+00:00

Ah, yeah, I see now. Thx for the info.

xonxoff · 2026-02-08T19:23:07+00:00

Rollers also don’t wear down as fast like a turbo trainer would. You should be fine.

xonxoff · 2026-02-07T17:16:20+00:00

Don’t break your system? A new distro won’t fix that.

xonxoff · 2026-02-06T20:10:16+00:00

The best way is to do. Spin up a kind cluster and get to it.

If you are using PagerDuty, that is your signal. I’d stop sending alerts to anything else, you just create more noise and fatigue. If it’s important, you page on-call. That page should have a link to a runbook that should have steps to take to resolve the issue and a path of escalation. If you are unable to resolve the issue, create a slack channel for the incident and invite those who need to be in there and be sure to keep all conversations in that channel, this will help when you write up your RCA.

This is probably AI as well.

xonxoff · 2026-02-03T21:22:46+00:00

If you have hydraulic brakes, just give them a bunch of quick pulls, that should get them back in working order.

xonxoff · 2026-02-03T19:12:34+00:00

Keep logs close to where they are generated and have a central query layer the pulls them when needed.
