I never had luck with that to be honest.
I’ve tried all classical playlists including all “Classical for Sleep”. It’s just too emotional with a lot of peaks and crescendos. A lot of treble. Demands a lot of attention to itself.
“Sleepy” jazz on the other hand is often comforting, muted and warm.
Sure, one can break anything, but our anecdotal experience is we’re now focused on actually delivering code rather than fretting about node failures.
eksctl create cluster --name mycluster --region us-west1 --with-oidc --fargate --external-dns-access --asg-access --full-ecr-access --alb-ingress-access
Anywhere I’ve worked business always prioritizes high availability and close to zero downtime. No one sees a random delivered feature. But if a node fails at night - everybody knows it. Clients first of all.
We’ve achieved it all almost out of the box with EKS. Setup with Fargate nodes was literally a one-liner of eksctl.
Multiple environments are separated with namespaces. Leader elections between replicas are also easy. Lens is a very simple to use k8s IDE.
If you know what you’re doing with Kubernetes (don’t use EC2 for nodes, they fail randomly), it’s a breeze.
I felt like being at a bazaar where a stranger talks to you like a person they know all their life. Which probably sounds appealing for people tired of Western sugarcoating and is probably great at a party when drinks flow freely. But at workspace it just feels unprofessional and disrespectful.
Local friends explained to me that this is cultural. Workplace in Israel is catered to locals and they rarely hire outsiders or expats. People have very short distance, they serve in army together, go to parties together, hide from bombings together. So hierarchy and workspace mannerisms make little sense in that context.
People never schedule meetings, they just ask for your phone number and call whether it’s appropriate for them. They interrupt you in the meetings, tell your solution is bad.
It may sound refreshing on paper, but honestly you feel treated like a low-skilled worker in a laundry or a kitchen. I’m not a Westerner, but I do come from a background of working with an English company and the difference in respect to boundaries and time is night and day.
