  • Yeah for reference I'd probably never run the full open source Kubernetes distribution unless I had to, and that would mean having access to millions of dollars of hardware in a datacenter.

    K3s is a lightweight Kuberbetes distribution that implements the full Kuberbetes API (full-ish? Maybe?). It's super easy to run on Linux, I run a 3 node cluster with GPUs at home. Its only real downside is the backend is a single point of failure, but that's ok for me cause it's run from my storage node with all the disks, so if that disappears I have bigger problems.

    There are others like microk8s which can handle control plane failures, but it's for that reason that I also dislike it - they wrote their own distributed sqlite instance and it failed on me, a story for another time.

    Minikube can run on your desktop, it's also an option.

    But if you have docker desktop, you also have a built in Kuberbetes API server too, just have to enable it with one checkbox (not a full API server, but good enough for installing helm charts).

    Kind is a docker based Kubernetes server but I think that's in the realm of testing not running. I believe K0s is in this camp too but could be wrong.

    At work the daily driver will be one of EKS, GKE, AKS, or whichever cloud providers implementation. They're effectively free and a loss leader because you'll pay for instances anyway (at least on EKS, I'm most familiar with that one).

    But if you're interested in learning, start with docker desktops k8s API, or minikube, or k3s if you have a Linux host or raspberry Pi lying around.

  • I hate that you hate to write this, but good work doing it. I never understood why people perceive k3s as hard and then write pages of docker compose yaml instead. Admittedly my day job got me a CKA, but running k3s at home is barely a step up from docker compose.

  • Curious what you would use instead? I can only think of one wrong answer and that's Jsonnet.

  • Isn't this also something that happens in the rift war books by Raymond E. Feist?

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

  • Correct, and since there are multiple instances I'm using a plural form, and fighting autocorrect at the same time.

  • My current favorite is in ruby with the unless keyword:

     
        
tax = 0.00
unless not_taxed(billing)
  tax = billing.zipcode.blank? ? estimated_tax_from_ip(account) : billing.tax
  tax = (tax.nil? ? 0.00 : tax)
end

    To me, anything payments related you want to be really super clear as to what you're doing because the consequences of getting it wrong are your income. Instead we have this abomination of a double negative, several turnaries, and no comments.

  • But there are alternatives to both CloudFlare and android, and CloudFlare has competitors with free tiers that I think are easier to use (I'm one data point)? The problem is people deciding to use CloudFlare or CloudFlare itself?

  • Not surprising. There's a part of the Shopify careers site that has a letter you have to acknowledge that says (paraphrased): Care more about the ability to sell than what people sell, and if feel you might disagree with what people sell then this isn't the workplace for you. They really drill that point home on the site and in interviews, not surprising their stance is 'no comment'.

  • North Koreans stole Americans' identities and took remote-work tech jobs at Fortune 500 companies, DOJ says

    Jump

  • Absolutely ran into fake CVs and people farming off the interview to 3rd party interview factories. Not at all surprised this was happening. Can't say I ran into North Koreans but a lot of recruitment agencies were passing people on with little to no vetting. You'd interview someone on camera and they'd be a different person once everything was signed. Given how hard it was to correct that they'd still walk away with a few weeks salary, even in your states with at will contracts it's super difficult to let anyone go.

  • It's a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I'd be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it's never "I'd never thought of doing it that way!" levels of amazing.
