cbb330··on What happened to the lab-leak hypothesis?
Taipei, the capitol of Taiwan, is not a Chinese entity. This is a lab leak from a Taiwanese lab.
cbb330··on Kubernetes: The Documentary
This is an interesting story but it’s nothing more than fan fiction. Please provide some reason for your assertions.

While the entire comment could be contradicted, a quick example is that google’s SRE book details much more developer strategies, including from a massive scale and enterprise perspective, than 12 factor web app. This book was assembled but industry experts with experience from Borg, with borg emerging from the global work queue — decades before heroku existed.

cbb330··on Ask HN: What's your sleeping setup(bed/pillows/sheets)?
I make all of my sleeping purchases based on sleeplikethedead's ratings. Great source for "Unbiased and Accurate Mattress Research" [0]. I have so far not been disappointed.

cbb330··on A New AWS SDK for Rust
How often do the domains of systems programming and cloud administration intersect?

I'm assuming that rust programs are primarily used in systems programming and that this SDK would be used for cloud administration but I could be wrong.

I see an obvious match with python and boto3 but not this.

cbb330··on Improving how we deploy GitHub
Was some mix of decoupling / parallelizing the Actions service considered?

I believe the value of dogfooding would be immense. Not only could you become the customer (massive reduction to the deploy/measure feedback loop), but it would be a key marketing move.

On top of that, the GUI that will now require critical care and development is essentially a clone of what is offered by Github Actions.

cbb330··on Ask HN: Was 20% time a good policy for Google's working culture?
How do the teams working full time on a project onboard contributors who are doing it with their 20% time?

Naively, I imagine developers would get annoyed or bogged down having to skill up these contributors rather than viewing it as a “free hand”.

cbb330··on HashiCorp Boundary
There are a few comparisons being introduced already in this thread, and I'm tempted to ask of more, so I'd love to see documentation on this vs. other solutions like is presented with Terraform:

Thank you for the tip, I will keep that in mind!
cbb330··on AWS Tagging Best Practices
A couple months ago I released automation in our cloud environment to shutdown/startup resources who have been tagged with cron expressionS. It has been an incredibly flexible solution to manage and reduce the cost of resources which charge per time spent operating.

Not only do tags fit well into already existing work flows (CI/CD, policy), cron expressions give freedom to devs/sysadmins to choose whichever schedule they need. Also, this solution allows a central IT team to easily query and calculate duty cycle of any tagged resource, and relate that calculation to money saved.

I suggest using cron expression tagging for any scheduled resource automation, as it will likely be more flexible and more easily monitored than anything natively offered by the cloud vendor.

Junior software engineer with an insatiable passion for technology. Looking for full-time backend/full-stack roles for companies in the Bay Area who are solving challenging problems.

Previously, I've founded a small SaaS startup in University, led a senior design project which has been the basis for several academic grants, won a few hackathon awards, and crafted firmware embedded in missile defense systems. Now, I'm building a secure, global, hybrid-cloud platform for a Fortune 5 company.

cbb330··on SSH Emergency Access
Why not use certificates as your primary authentication for SSH? Facebook has a great blog post on implementing this at scale: https://engineering.fb.com/security/scalable-and-secure-acce...
