The parts have to be unlocked with like a DRM system to work.

I ask how do you build quality software in interviews. A lot of people are caught completely flat footed by it. They have no idea.

Nice of them to test your failover for you.

That is scale I can't comprehend.

I think you're missing several orders of magnitude on that math.

Maybe a T instead of a B.

Rabbit and most databases have their own failover strategy. Putting it all on k8s is fine for a toy app but idk why anyone would deploy a real system like that.

The distance was like 75 yards. I visited the book depository as a child and even then thought I could make that shot.

99% of the time it doesn't kill you isn't what we're shooting for.

Captured the requests in a flash client used in a 6 hour defensive driving class to skip to the last page. Got my certificate. My friend did the same thing and the company reached out trying to figure out why they were getting all of these database errors...

The list is long. If you're familiar with c++ take a look at C#. Go and Java are safe bets as well. Beyond that there are a million backend languages out there.

Probably thought it was the run over and blow up kind not the kind with a magnet.

I'm curious what things you're trying to do that requires you to overload xunit classes? We use xunit for everything and haven't found any gaps so far.

Also, the data may be coming from multiple systems. So somewhere you have to stich that data together.

codenesium — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:14:29 +0000

Because the API is a REST API and you don't want your frontend to have to make 100 calls to render a screen. Each frontend may be a completely different app so they all need the data in their own format. And each team may control their app so you don't want all of the teams roadblocked by the API team.

You're going to think you have it figured out and then they and you are going to get sick. I'm 3 months in and the lack of sleep is tough. Hobbies are on hold. Just try not to think about it too much and focus on taking care of your kiddo, your SO and your job. There might be enough energy to do most of that.

Buy an electric crib that rocks and has music. Take shifts if you can. Sleep whenever you can get it. Workout.

codenesium — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 22:19:06 +0000

When I see a job posting with no salary all I think is what are they scared of? Must be low. A 4 hour project for a senior? For DevOps? I could spend those 4 hours pinging people in my network and probably have interviews scheduled.

You probably have. You just don't know it.
