@Apple my wife's iPhone 8 died after less than two years of ownership, and we have to buy a new phone now. Thanks for the most expensive brick I've ever bought in my life.
you say "we wrote a columnar db in our spare time and that's what we use for observability" we hear, "my company has weak technical leadership, struggles with focus, and does not understand compounding support costs." also, "we have more engineers than we know how to use"
I’ve committed to finishing college. No, I don’t need this piece of paper to do my job. Yes, I still want it.

Anyone have experience with Knative cold starts? Some friends are looking to adopt the tech, so doing some research for them.
Since this is currently trending on HN, I'll share it here as well: I spent a bunch of time over the holidays getting my head around relational modeling in DynamoDB, and ended up with this big ol' blog post. Code included! trek10.com/blog/dynamodb-…

Thinking is by far the most underrated activity. People consider it "unproductive" to sit on a bench and think. So they spend their lives doing things they never thought through. An hour of clear thinking, can yield a conclusion that changes your life.

@kelseyhightower's fantastic keynote from #KubeCon is now on YouTube. If you work in tech, set aside half an hour to watch this. youtu.be/oNa3xK2GFKY
It's insane for humanity to have reached the point where half of all work could already be done by machines, and half all wealth is owned by 8 people, and yet hear calls to create new jobs in order to distribute income. We need income, not jobs, and we need time, not domination.
@joeskyyy Fo sho. Are you deploying with Jenkins? Is there any way to do an intermediate step where you could check availability?
@joeskyyy Actually I just realized what you meant. That is tough. I know Envoy can handle circuit breaking with service discovery, but you'd need to key off the fact a service is returning a particular response. Like say Envoy says this circuit is broken based on response, don't deploy.
@joeskyyy Spring has a contract generator. I'm not sure about Node. You could always push gRPC for client generation so there's a clean, common interface for all languages, having a top level service that the UI directly communicates with over REST.
@joeskyyy That is more difficult. Do services rely directly on others' contracts? If so, that's a bad sign. Typically you'd want to keep copies of relevant data in the services' databases, and update them via eventing. What language?
@joeskyyy I think it depends. I’m looking into something similar, and the conclusion I came up with is Istio. Are you concerned with presenting a seemless interface to the UI, or the actual dependency tree of the microservices?
This is, in my opinion, the best available introduction to TLA+ and why it's so valuable for software engineering. And the whole talk is only half an hour long, so why not give it a watch?
