Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don’t work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

“excessive promotion”, right.

You’re doing great work.

I went back to school in my early 30s.

I have a coworker who went back in his 40s and is changing careers (from tech lead to management). And another who is nearing 50s who just wanted that piece of paper. (IT guy who wanted a fine arts degree)

I’m pretty sure they assumed if you bought their service, you have the competency to properly set it up.

And I proved them wrong.

Ah not to discount devops, I mean that in a good way.

Devops made me lazy in that for the past decade, I focus on just everything inside the code base.

I literally push code into a magic black box that then triggers a rube goldberg of events. Servers get instanced. Configs just get magically set up. It’s beautiful. Just years of smart people who make it so easy that I never have to think about it.

Since I can’t pay my devops team to come to my house, I get to figure it all out!

I shared it because, out there, there is a junior engineer experiencing severe imposter syndrome. And here I am, someone who has successfully delivered applications with millions of users and advanced to leadership roles within the tech industry, who overlook basic security principles.

We all make mistakes!

The latter. It was autogenerated by the VPS hosting service and I didn’t think about it.

You’re not wrong! Devops made me lazy

Probably overkill and I agree with you.

K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it’s quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn’t the only one.

Well to be fair, American companies did that too. They expand their services internationally “for free” and then get other countries hooked on it.

China is just taking a page from that playbook.

Explain how good trains will help our precious CEOs?

Unless you mean a private train line paid with government funds. Now we’re talking!
