the amount of coworkers who have said " said X,Y,Z". Then they make basic mistakes with what they need to do and it becomes my problem.

> the most meritorious solution never rises to the top

You know why? Because it was the best solution at the time that covered everything they needed. You can only complain about it because the initial problem was solved and people were able to move on to something else.

Does it work for what we need it to do? Yes? Ok. Now that we have settled this problem, we can continue on developing.

Meritocracy is only relevant to someone who has ideas but no desire or ability to actually structure the idea in such a way that would work in the world we find ourselves in today.

> Maybe D-Bus has something similar?

So you just commented here to say nothing but "dbus sucks because it isn't the best. I wonder if there are better options?".

These are the best kinds of posts

Adderall has no positive relationship to my mental efficiency. It can in fact be a negative once your passed the 8 hour windows where its still in your system.

At the end of the day, it makes it easier to not bounce between different things. It doesn't help me be smarter. It helps me drive to work without needing to listen to music and be on my phone.

Modafinil... maybe.

A++. No Notes.

Don't see how that's controversial. It's something that doesn't matter to their customers or their business.

There is a large amount of creators on the platform that live off their content and eCommerce enabled through the platform. So it disappearing overnight would severely impact people who have a majority of their livelihood through the app.

Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. They all have short form video, but TikTok has a lot of features that just don't exist on other platforms.

Been doing DevOps/SRE for the past 7-8 years. I've found myself working well in positions where I can work closely with other engineers to build out Cloud/Distributed Infrastructure and develop software in a way that makes it not painful to run in the cloud.

I can help take small MVP applications & infrastructure, and help turn it into something that can scale up as the business does. I'm comfortable working with any stack- just depends on how much time it'll take me to brush up on the language or design.

Buuttt... you're trying to compare apples (a rack in a DC) to oranges (an AWS Native Solution that spans multiple DCs). And that's before you get into all the AWS bullshit that fucking sucks, but it sucks more to do it yourself.

A Rack in a DC isn't a solution that's useful to people who are in AWS.

For example. I setup Developer Workspaces that can mount an EFS share to their linux box, and anything they put in there will be accessible from Kubernetes Jobs they kick off, and from their Jupyterhub workspace.

I can either pay AWS to do it for me, or I can figure out how to get a 250k IOPS GlusterFS server to work across multiple AZs in a region. I think the math maths out to around the same cost at the end of the day
