jenkinstrigger··on AWS us-east-1 outage
Can someone just have a site ping all the GET endpoints on the AWS API? That is very far from "automating [their entire] system" but it's better than what they're doing.

I love Terraform and ASGs but that still doesn't solve the fact that their SRE overprovisioned. They might have even used both things!

jenkinstrigger··on Kosher Cell Phone
I never understand how people think it's "intellectually dishonest" to "break" rules that were meant to be broken.

I feel like people don't understand how mitzvos work, and therefore can't understand why we can sometimes "break" them.

Oftentimes one is allowed to use the loophole and still is rewarded for adhering to the mitzvah, even if they didn't do it (e.g. other comments here use examples of shabbos goy, shabbos elevator, selling chametz etc.). These cases are built into the mitzvah itself inherently, allll the way from way back when.

Jewish law is extremely complex, and we're allowed to use loopholes that the rabbis find, AND STILL we get rewarded for it if done properly and within the confines of Jewish Law.

That all said, I have no position in the kosher cell phone debate, let them have it if it makes them feel more comfortable. Besides the anti-porn arguments for it, it's less of a religious thing.

I feel the same way about blockchain healthcare startups. If you put PHI on a blockchain it will get distributed, and one day cracked and shared. Modern cryptography is not a silver bullet that will last forever as-is.

By then the founders (who we see these days on Techcrunch taking money for these sham projects) will be long gone.

jenkinstrigger··on Why aren’t more companies remote-first?
Yep, I've mentored junior developers over video chat and Slack. If they have good communication skills (which is much needed for remote!) then they can write questions or ask to be shown something remotely just as well as in person.
