CloudFront distribution backed with Appsync or API Gateway?

Just use pkgsrc or macports. IMO way easier and less intrusive than homebrew.

Nah I’ve been on macports for years now. No problems; the community is very active, just follow the mailing lists etc

My eero setup have been running strong without any intervention for a couple years now, across a couple different houses and isps. It’s been a great investment so far.

We horizontally scale on queue depth/length (Kafka offset length specifically)

This requires the use of things like kubernetes custom metrics api and Prometheus adapter

Well, the bar is pretty low so I suppose you’re right.

Sounds like my life too

Or “it’s best to wait till the migration complete before our team needs to do anything”

Sounds just like tech companies tbh.

Still use this machine for full time + freelance dev work, alongside all my personal work (running mine + wife businesses). Also serves as my full time media consumption device.

Hasn’t missed a beat; my only “want” would be an even small form factor

The family needs to eat and as an American with no social or economic safety net, my morals play a very small role.

I have an m1 air 16G and it's great. I am not motivated by new chips, but I would move "down" to an 11in/smaller form factor

pip and virtualenv because I have always used it and have never have run into issues at scale.

If you live in a small space, then gyms are more effective.

I think the macro economic environment has really spooked companies over the past 18months when it comes to adjusting headcount. Hopefully 2024 will be better?

I am lucky enough to still have a decent position. I have real sympathy for all those who have been laid off in the past year, it's gotta be tough.

I am in the Eastern USA. Looking at remote positions mostly (USA). I have yet to have an interview loop that did not involve both system design and some "leetcode"-style code questions.

None have been as complex or bad as some make them out to be, but all have the potential to trip you up depending on the day.

Can't seem to filter/search by Role. Also a lot of dead/expired positions.

It's below average. I am not really hard-pressed to make a job change, but I have been interviewing a bit over the past few months. If you are really in need of a job I would study up on system design, behavioral interview patterns and a bit of leetcode-style programming problems.

From my experience, employers are being very very picky. I have been through full rounds at a couple of places with positive feedback, but they have all gone with other candidates. It seems like if you misstep once during a single interview round, your chances fall dramatically.

Full transparency: I have not put in a lot of time preparing for these interviews, probably explains a lot xD

2% on Apple Pay purchases is pretty good, depending on if you frequent places that support it.

Reading is about the only thing I have time for these days. As far as hobbies go, it’s pretty good.

A tale as old as time. Self host your content if you can, or have backups of your content. The pain of self-hosting the majority of one's data is less and less as the years tick by. As I get older, this becomes more apparent. Imagine the state of things in 30 years. What services will still be around? Hopefully most, but that's not a guarantee.

Immigration is pretty restricted in many European countries, with things like employment and language requirements. As they should be I suppose; I am not sure these countries want an influx of millions of Americans. Not to mention, there are tax implications for American citizens that make it economically unfeasible.

Punish crime?

What recourse do we as workers have? We can soft boycott and quit/stop applying to onsite positions, but there are hundreds of thousands willing and able to take these positions.
