site reliability engineer; t-skill enthusiast; breaker of production and learner of lessons; work hard and fail often. together <3
accountability and fault are separate. possibly an edge to turn the conflict on; doesnt matter who did it or if they intended it, who is accountable for the pipeline and who can make the call on break fix or throw compute at it?

look out next for checklists, manual testing spreadsheets, code freezes, erosion of on call by owning teams to a noc/operator arrangement.

the fun part? your defacto operators will be your previous sre and devops engineers. rest assured they'll leave. no deploy rules are highlighting lack of trust

if you dont trust the code friday, you wont trust it monday. but if a team owns their service, i support their decision to keep their weekend sacred from paging.

however, when an org institutes a no-friday rule, devops is dieing. no trust from mgmt to teams. no ownership of teams to svc. old guard.

i think the lack of computer eng professional licensure is a pathology to all specializations. the dilution of the sre title is pervasive, like the title of "engineer" vs "developer" in regards to being given problems v requirement.

its tough rn, but in interview the difference is usually clear

wsl is just not viable full time. having to keep my file systems separate or pay the performance tax is endlessly annoying. if you have hyper-v, dropping to a linux vm is the same overheard but a full experience.

ive only been using one for around 5 years and its not like this at all anymore. it works out of the box.

i came from a decade of windows dev and am an avid wsl user. the macbook pro is hands-down the best roi dev laptop on the market.

wsl is too resource heavy, since you need docker then too.

ah yes, because as we know, a huge risk of addiction is having so much money and security in your life that you cant find a hobby, so drugs it is!

yes, the leading indicator of being extremely wealthy. of course!

only if they are hot qatari daddys or something? i honestly cant keep up. being tall, male, and attractive seems to help. how peculiar isnt it?

sre here. bounced off windsurf immediately when unable to get remote dev working like in vscode (and same in cursor). i have to be across languages and versions, and i don't wanna nix, especially since i need images for k8s regardless. i use copilot at work, and cursor personal (pro) for context.

nope, your understanding is spot on. the reaction right now is all FUD. elon got upset to be called out and resorted to his usual class in responding, leading up to mark kelly selling his tesla.

no rescue, always the plan. if there was a real emergency they were going to take the ship already there

nah see its temporal. you "back up" to the time in your life before the file existed. you get to relive the joy of absence! making the file is the fun part, having the file is lame.
