Not a course, but a good podcast by great engineers: https://anchor.fm/happypathprogramming

I refuse to read this article.

I wish I had seen this 20 years ago. I did some horrible things in c++ that I would be embarrassed to see today. It was a fun language to explore though, and I learned much from it.

Thanks. Its refreshing to see someone giving props in the comments.

Java is pretty solid, but not percieved as cutting edge anymore, even though they are still improving it. I think Oracle has done a better job then I originally expected. I think the ecosystem is by far it's biggest advantage. It's a integration target for many projects just because it has such wide adoption.

I think you can use replication to accomplish this.

I had a hard time buying the cards at first. I think this was due to the fact that creativity is hard to put a value on. I ended up buying two packs (I gave one as a gift), and I can honestly say that I have used them hundreds of times. I think the price of the pack actually forces you to get your money's worth out of it. Being creative in your life is one of the best investments you can make.

Allow an easement (an easement is the abandonment of a structure)

Best of luck Eric. I can feel the ship turning.

Facebook is going down the same road with forcing you to install messenger if you have messages.

Another thing to think about is that these responses may cross generations. i.e the anxiety someone experiences today may be due to trauma suffered by thier grandparents. The mind is a wonderful thing, but there is so much that we don't understand about it/ourselves.

Just wondering if you are a parent.

I read this, but it seems incomplete.

The best keyboard I can think of is one that tells me to get my butt out of the chair and go for a walk every two hours.

As I look back on my career, there have been things that I learned early on that I still am able to leverage today (i.e. bash, linux, vim, java). There are a slew of other technologies that didn't last (i.e. DCOM, Corba, J++, J2EE). If I'm going to invest my time in learning, I'd like to realize some return on time. Granted there are cool experimental technologies that I learn with the realization that they may not be around in a couple years, but I can plan/architect around that.

Congrats to the team for the 1.0 release.

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad your still here to relate your story. I think speaking these things is an important part of the healing process. Pax et bonum.

Do you know if EKS will ever be supported?

Ubunutu LTS. I've been using Linux since the STS days (about 50 3.5 floppy disks). I used to compile my own kernels, enter clock timings for my video driver, but now I'm older and just want an OS that works.

Linux still has video driver issues, but once those things are worked out, it's pretty solid. It's still possible to screw up your bios settings, so be careful there.

For open source development projects, it has great/the best support.

UI is still bad, but I use IDEs and command line. Those things provide some consistency across all the failed window systems.

If your computational load is spikey, I would suggest looking at fargate and the spot market. Also for storage, I would suggest leveraging S3 whenever possible.

Any good idea in software can and will be abused to the point where it seems like a bad idea. It's all about context people.

Just curious, how would you manage bitcoin fractional shares.

sub foolOnce() { return raku(); }

sub foolTwice() { return perl5(); }

I think it's important to note that Vitamin D is a hormone. And the body produces it as well.

Well stick that in your pipe!

Just from personal experience, Ansible is relatively simple to use, and requires minimal setup. I think some of the other alternatives might require a larger up front investment in time and capital.

I totally agree with this fustration. There seems to be some innate paradox between growing a community and being a BDFL. I think this also expresses is self in our current political environment.

You might as well ask if he likes vim or emacs :)

The truth is that good talented people lose thier job. Don't lose faith in yourself.

+1 for Deming
