GowGuy47··on Why Does Destroying Resources via TF Suck?
The reason to not create the bucket are because you want to ensure that you don’t have any click ops resources that you can’t track. If you manually create anything, that means it’s not in code and therefore the rest of the team doesn’t know where it lives, who created it, or when.
GowGuy47··on Why Does Destroying Resources via TF Suck?
Sorry, with Terraform and OpenTofu both using “TF”, I default to that so that articles and my writing pertain to both.

SEEKING WORK — Remote Only — (Philadelphian living abroad)

Hey Folks! I’m an established backend and DevOps engineer with experience building sophisticated products in the startup world. My experience includes being a full-stack engineer across 3 different product companies as well as managing a high-performing, agile team of 9 engineers building across various technology stacks.

Let me tell you why I’m the right person to hire for your project's needs:

- From my experience as a project manager I know how to accurately gather requirements, and architect solutions to meet your business needs.

- I’m well versed in efficiently crafting bullet-proof software that solves the problem at hand.

- I know the fine balance between the need to ship and the need for maintainable software that is ready for the next iteration.

- I have in-depth knowledge on all the auxiliary pieces that software projects need to stay successful including unit testing, continuous integration, and deployment automation. I know how to architect solutions for these challenges, build them, and then maintain them.

- I intimately know what happens after code is pushed and needs to live in AWS or Docker or Heroku.

- I’ve worked and managed remotely and know the ins and outs of how to make that relationship work efficiently and effectively.

Here are the languages, frameworks, and tools that I’m proficient with and focused on: Ruby, Rails, AWS (EC2, ElastiCache, Lambda, Route53, ECS, SQS, ect.), Docker, Ansible, and K8ns. I also have experience with the following in production (don't reach for these as often): Java Spring, HBase, Hadoop/MapReduce, Aerospike, Kafka, and Storm.

Get in touch and we’ll build something awesome together.

GowGuy47··on Octotree: the missing GitHub tree view (Chrome extension)
I had the same idea a couple weeks ago but never finished it: https://github.com/Gowiem/GitHubTree. Crazy to see this. Glad somebody got around to it. Thanks man!
GowGuy47··on Creating Read-Only References to Objects in JavaScript
This seems like a cool idea. What was your need for this solution if you don't mind me asking? Developing a library?
GowGuy47··on Data Structure Visualizations
Just found out yesterday that I'll be having my first interview for a Google Software Engineering position in about a month. This is truly going to be invaluable, thank you!
GowGuy47··on Started a stupid company. Failed.
You sir, are a good guy.
GowGuy47··on Ansible Simply Kicks Ass
We use this over at useartisan.com and though I'm not one of the Dev ops oriented people here everyone who is using it seems to be really psyched on it. Glad people are contributing and it's gaining steam!
GowGuy47··on Mega has launched
How much storage does the free version allow is my question... Couldn't find it any where
GowGuy47··on Ask HN: Anyone Making Money on Windows Phone 8 Apps?
I did not know this about WP8, and I'm glad you said something. It's stuff like this that will make devs steer clear of writing for them. If I can write a PhoneGap app for Android/iPhone (Which I am), but I have to make major changes to write for WP8 then I am not going to do so.
GowGuy47··on What should a developer know before building a public web site?
Talk about overwhelming. I could read about everything in just the first guys answer and it'd take me a full day. Not to mention the second guys answer, who seemed to provide more links and content to go over.
