"This is what DevOps is about: running Ops like you're Developing an app, not letting your devs run your ops."

This is a very common attitude of sysadmins who think that configuration management is the only thing they need to do to "become DevOps". Sadly, years after DevOps movement has started, the majority of people who are "doing DevOps" are those sysadmins who just added Puppet or Chef to their toolbox.

Security is a very difficult subject when it comes to DevOps practices, but the approach given in this presentation is definitely something I would not want to be part of. Unless what they are securing is a nuclear reactor control center.

It seems they are trying to reinvent Brainfuck language

That's what you get when you let JavaScript into the server side.

How to pull this through when you are paid by the hour?

I thought the same until I actually tried working on big projects with other, simpler languages. Threading can be replaced with process forking in those GIL languages, and everyting else is just so much better. 4 years after ditching java I will never ever want to write code in it again.

It's already hipster activity, and all hipsters deny they are hipsters.

That's the beauty of git. You can pack your bags and leave any time.

10x engineers exist, and this post was submitted by one. Hi admp :)

And use mutation testing to make sure your tests are correct. Oh, and have integration tests too, along with tests for your infrastructure. How can anything go wrong if you have all that? Well, it can and will.

HN needs "collapse whole thread" feature. Badly.

Yes, we run pronto when our Jenkins builds GitHub pull requests, so we get all those comments along with peer code reviews. And no separate web app is necessary.

Take a look at https://github.com/mmozuras/pronto - does the same, has many adapters.

Sounds better than keeping your money in bitcoins

This makes a perfect illustration why startups are shit. Instead of working on something useful, people either produce crappy javascript games, or play them. Now massively downvote this comment, write 100 replies explaining why I'm wrong and how retarded I am for trying to say something like this, then go read something by Paul Graham and play more clones of 1024. And then write a long essay why your startup failed.

It's dial-a-joke, you just don't realize it yet.

There is way too few upvotes on this.

1. Why is this so heavily upvoted? 2. How do you, startup people, find the time to write a novel in the comments of this "I didn't mean it" post? 3. Would you lick dirt off Paul's shoes if he allowed you?

Go write some code instead.

Wake up at 5 AM regularly (even on weekends). And go to sleep early as well. Sometimes I do more in first few hours early in the morning than throughout the rest of the day.

Zed, you are my fucking hero. Seriously.

ROFLcopter was first - it runs on plain text :-)

400 EUR per single pop...

It's a pity to see that Windows haven't died off yet and things like this are still happening. Using Linux / Mac for years, never looked back.

And for those who say "my mother can't use Linux", don't be a cheapskate, get your loved ones a Mac - they will definitely know how to use it.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but could it be because it runs out of batteries before hitting the test wall? :)

I'm living happily with this:

"relative number switches - show numbers in insert mode, relative in normal

autocmd InsertEnter * :set number

autocmd InsertLeave * :set relativenumber

Naming variables in national language is typically done by students or otherwise inexperienced programmers.

When choosing a license, I always remember this rant by Zed Shaw: http://zedshaw.com/essays/why_i_gpl.html

This time was no exception. :)

Great news, michalmior nearly got it up and running on Heroku: https://github.com/spajus/hubot-control/pull/2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but GPL protects free software from being converted from free and open into proprietary shareware, and you can use it anywhere.

Why would Apache or Modified BSD be better?
