I feel "DI" in the context of .NET Core is often the IoC container you feel forced to use. DI is a pattern, but even trying to use the logger extension without the service provider is a pain.

Really?

how much do you think it costs to "fill" your Tesla via this provider?

I find it a little heavy for log aggregation. LogDNA has been great for my K8s clusters, and is relatively cheap.

+1

Changing one "shared library" shouldn't mean deploying 140 services immediately.

They had one service to begin with forked for each destination. Of course that was a nightmare to maintain!

> Once the code for all destinations lived in a single repo, they could be merged into a single service. With every destination living in one service, our developer productivity substantially improved. We no longer had to deploy 140+ services for a change to one of the shared libraries. One engineer can deploy the service in a matter of minutes.

... 140 tightly coupled services wasn't the problem then?

You can report them to your council.

Met my fair share in London on this visa. Sadly there is rarely a way of staying after your 2 years unless your employer really commits to sponsoring you, which they never do.

Are you travelling to the UK? There are loads of SIM cards for sale in arrivals, including EE.

> A CLI framework - Used urfave/cli. Same thing with dep ensure -add. Except I realised that the last release to Github was eons ago. August 2017 IIRC. The code I needed in particular had been released in October 2017 and since then had many commits to master. I just added a constraint to my Gopkg.toml file to lock the pulling to master.

What's wrong with spf13/cobra?

That example component code is hideous. It reminds me of Backbone, and not in a good way.

Check out ZeroTier as mentioned above. Will do all this without any port forwarding etc.

How does it work well? The roads have never been busier.

I took my 9 month old 13" Touchbar Pro into Apple last night for the third time. This time it was a display fault (bottom of screen had horizontal lines and pink hue when cold) and all 4 USB-C ports were soggy with no hold.

Previously I've had a new logic board after a power fault that took a authorized repairer to fix as they were the only ones that believed me.

FINALLY I got a full refund. I bought the previous 15" model (which I should never had sold) with the proceeds in store.

I've never had such an unreliable piece of hardware. Some guy was in store with a key that was stuck and he was told it would take 5 days to repair.

The relief I felt when the genius said refund said it all.

WeWorks are great to hang out in. The offices themselves are tiny glass boxes that grind you down over time. The building I was in was basically full of suits (recruiters, intrapreneurs etc). Glad to have left after 9 months in one!

They were also pushing for 6-9 month commitments from tenants.

I've had to dump Fastmail. I was getting 10-15 very (sexually) explicit spam emails daily slipping through the filter daily even after 100's of training emails being identified. Queue weird looks at work if I left my mail client visible.

Moving back to G Suite was painful. I had to manually do it after the G Suite 'Migration' tool missed 1000's of messages. But so happy to have decent search back!

> All told, actually starting k8s cluster is probably less than 10% of my time.

+1.

I've found myself (with Azure ACS) re-creating clusters quite often - as they don't support upgrades. This takes minutes with my deploy scripts, replicating the state of the cluster you're copying is the main bit of work.

Happy with Kops but this is awesome. Especially if the controller is not billed for (like Azure and now GCP).

Are you sure Atom's was yesterday? The blog posted is dated 15 November.

Tax is only "less than 20%" if you pay yourself less than 40k. You can easily end up paying 40%+ with the dividend tax, unless you're less than honest with your expenses.

Are you doing what Gitlab claims below "We (GitLab) use it mostly as a templating system as well" or really using it to manage complex apps? I think it doesn't really offer much for normal microservices.

I do use it for things like nginx ingress but for stuff I've built a service.yml / deployment.yml are fine.

I do something similar, but envsubst does the job.

I suspect this happens in London. I always take a "Gett" (fixed price black cab) if so, and it's usually the same price / cheaper and they know how to drive.

SEEKING WORK - London, UK / Remote / Sometimes in Toronto

I'm a senior developer who enjoys translating business requirements into brilliant, reliable and secure software. I'm "full stack" but hate doing CSS if I'm honest. I've been doing quite a bit of DevOps the last few months.

Stuff I've done this year:

  * Node/Java/C#.net core backends

  * Microservice architectures

  * React/Redux SPAs

  * DevOps with Kubernetes (Azure/GKE/AWS all in 2017)

I'm consulting beginning this month and can help with small things or take on full projects - just send me an email.

> Lately I have seen a trend where people wont even ask the salary until they have interviewed because they don't want to appear rude. I just don't get it. You should provide your salary expectations prior to reaching the interview stage otherwise you are potentially wasting your time.

I once asked an internal recruiter the salary (as to not waste each other's time) and he returned a tirade of abuse about me not clearly being a good fit if money is my only focus. The guy organises a few meetups as well, fair to say I'll avoid anything he touches at all costs.

Edit: if you publish/ let me know the the range, I'm happy to interview.

I can't help but think contracting is becoming more popular in London. I've been doing it myself now since 2013. I've seen a couple of perm staff walk out of jobs due to petty reasons in the last year, both were <1 year into their roles.

Actually trying to move into more of a consulting role going forward, but there is such a demand for contractors IMO it could be shortening the availability of good developers in London.

Does Google Cloud even offer IPv6?

I found it has strange defaults (all services publicly exposed) and quite unfriendly to automate. Ended up sticking with native deployments.
