New comment by k5jhn in "Show HN: Pruun – Python CL utility for creating AWS Lambda deployment packages"

k5jhn — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 01:47:28 +0000

Hey thanks man. While I haven’t used serverless myself, I’m pretty sure it can do what pruun does and way more. In terms of usage and functionality, I had a very specific breadth in mind for pruun, i.e creating deployment packages. No AWS auth needed, no config — I wanted pruun to require as little buy-in/learning-curve as possible, while still addressing what I've always found to be a pain-point. Also, I felt like coding some shit that wasn't work stuff :P

Haha neat tool. Thanks!

Ask HN: What project/team-based developer metrics do you track?

k5jhn — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 14:29:14 +0000

Metrics such developer frequency, mean time to restore service, etc.

Curious to hear of other metrics being used and how they've proven useful.

Cheers!

Yeah I think this does happen informally, like over lunch as someone else mentioned. Was just wondering if anyone did it in a more "formal" way, as you would with a manager.

I find myself sometimes wanting for this. Sharing +/deltas with those you're in the trenches with day in, day out seems like a valuable thing. The current lack of precedent at my workplace is my main blocker.

Is this a good practice to introduce, and do y'all know if this is common practice anywhere?

Thanks!

k5jhn — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 19:25:32 +0000

Currently a dev at a pre-Series A startup.

Pros:

- both the freedom AND responsibility to build things that'll directly translate into increased growth/profits, or the opposite in the case of failure

- close-knit dev team, and in general everyone is chill, i.e company culture is great so far

Cons:

- my salary compensation is pretty average so I am hoping for an eventual big pay-out, but it's hard to gauge what the payout amount of my shares will be.. maybe this is just due to my ignorance/lack-of-experience (are there tools/calculations to figure this kind of stuff out?)

What kind of hardware is Ahrefs running these headless browser sessions on?

Hi, could you elaborate as to why TestingBot runs one browser per VM, as opposed to running multiple browsers on a beefier VM?
