It's easy to install k8s curl a helm chart too, doesn't mean you should.

What you're missing is complexity and second order effects.

Making decisions about databases early results in needing to make a lot of secondary decisions about all sorts of things far earlier than you would if you just left it all in sqlite on one VM.

It's not for everyone. People have varying levels of experience and needs. I'll almost always setup a MySQL db but I'd be lying if I said it never resulted in navel gazing and premature db/application design I didn't need.

I had someone on here assume we were a small dev shop because we don't use microservices the other day. I don't think they were expecting 2k devs to be what I responded with. Apparently monoliths a scale a lot bigger than you'd think.

They took 160m and turned it into a 5 billion dollar company... And that's not success to you?

I think that's fine as long as you're not holding me hostage.

Not that small, 2k devs.

Generally we don't go walking through other teams code bases unless we have to and we usually consult with the team before doing stuff. They just don't let their roadmap block our roadmap.

We don't use microservices. That helps a lot. We also have teams that manage infra. We do own the code we deploy but anyone can jump in and help if a fix is needed.

I couldn't handle that. At $WORK we encourage teams to unblock themselves. If that means you need to work on someone else's codebase off you go.

Territorial people don't last long here.

I can't remember the last time I was really blocked by an other team. It's incredibly rare. They either help or get out of the way.

If your stand up chat updates in slack are on auto pilot the process is working.

If it's not, there should be something to discuss in retro.

Use it as a signal, not the signal.

Rule 1.

It depends how much you value your time outside of your 40. I value it at time and a half. If you want me to work those hours at time and a half or you want me to sit by a phone both is fine but that's how much it costs.

More than happy for the market to eat my lunch. I'll eat mine, uninterrupted.

> While I agree with your sentiment, I don't think 1.5x for 48 hours for being on call over a weekend is a sensible or reasonable ask

I don't think me being asked to work weekends is a very reasonable ask either so here we are. Pay me or find someone else. Pretty basic.

> Personally I'd be happy to ...

Personally I won't. That's my point..

> Don't risk being mis interpreted as being a money-grubbing mercenary by pretending you'd be happy to do it for a high enough price

That is exactly the situation though? I'm not working for you for feels. If you pay me enough I will work weekends on top of my normal 40, but it will cost you.

"Fuck you pay me." Comes to mind.

> then PIP you out for being a jerk

Mate, if you were to suddenly ask me to work weekends without pay you wouldn't need to pip me I'd already be interviewing.

I agree and if I thought I got any value out of communicating extra to them I would. Fact is, this is open source, I'm doing this for fun. I'm not here for you and I don't owe you understanding or complete information.

If my boss tried to tell me I had to keep my phone on, carry it around everywhere, and carry a laptop around and couldn't leave cell range I'd ask how much he was paying me to do that and for a new contract that laid out my new time and a half rate.

Software developers aren't special, were not even operations staff. Just build stuff that fails gracefully and deal with it on Monday.

That sounds like a them problem.

"Pull requests welcome" if you want the feature. "Fork off" if you don't.

Didn't Orkut actually have a good organic following in Brazil before they axed it for G+?

So much stupid.

I just don't really run into these problems anymore or at least the feedback I get would be mostly useless affirmations.

Once upon a time coffee breaks and after work drinks was the most common time these discussions took place.

Java got type inference? I need to see this!

Is it still really verbose with lots of too small classes?

Wow that's pretty cool.

More? Less? Interesting is just how far I checked out of that language years ago.

WordPress is great, they maintain backwards compat forever. Same reason I like PHP and can't stand working with NPM.

I'm sure the other CMS are fine but I want my site to auto update itself and all its plugins for the next 20 years with me hardly touching it.

You need to make sure disk writes are against mounted volumes and not against the CoW filesystem in the container but that's a docker thing not a WordPress thing.
