But I feel depressed every time I use Terraform. I see why it is useful, good etc. But I just enjoy it least of all the programming activities.

Pulumi isn't much better. I feel IaC done that way isn't the way we will settle on long term.

And also by the same logic, chemical reactions in general are impossible outside of life. E.g. a fire.

Managers of 15 shouldn't make lots of decisions. The team should come together and use decision processes to make good decisions. Manager makes sure individuals are growing and are able to contribute at that level.

Small team management is dead. Long live small team management. Yes. You fire them then your senior engineers fill that gap. Its just not formally part of the process. The cost didnt disappear. Either borne by employees working longer hours or lost velocity.

Not a bug. A non airworthy plane they tried to patch up with software.

Is the pragmatic solution to return 503 and have clients back off.

Or, if possible make latency a feature (embrace the queue!). For service to service internal stuff e.g. something like a request to hard delete something, this can always be a queue.

And obviously you can scale up as the queue backs up.

I do love the maths tho!

Thinks looks very interesting but is there a good textbook as this is a bit tricky to follow. There are gaps of expected knowledge here.
