Dev No-ops

@ce3Freeman This week had a P1, dev worked 20 hours straight, eventually crashed to go to sleep, they fired him cause he didn't rejoin call after 4 hours, and told the devops engineer to just copilot the fix. In front of my own eyes, crazy crazy expectations now

@scubzero They basically want us to make prototypes for new projects within a week

They working us like dogs at work due to AI

@freedisch @vivoplt ok but... This is just separate databases with async data replication with more steps. Better to just say microservices arch with independent data stores not valid for this scenario

the solution is pub/sub Instead of the main service asking the other 3 for data directly (which creates tight coupling), have the 3 services publish any updates to a message broker like Kafka or RabbitMQ. The main service simply listens for those events and saves a local, read-only copy of the data it needs.

Interviewer: One microservice needs data from 3 other services. How would you design this without creating tight coupling?

@vivoplt Question is wrong. Microservices is wrong for this. You are reinventing 2008 web service from first principals. The app has its own database cache that is sync out of band... Is same as 2008 servicd with own database synced via replication

@oku_yungx Why would you even need to respond if you are truly nonchalant. Just move on.

I need a nonchalant response to “I hate you”

@NigerDeltaEngr @oku_yungx @BlessingAndyson This is the only correct answer.

@oku_yungx @BlessingAndyson K.

@JeffBohren I mean ultimately if there is a issue in production at 3 AM, if the AI cant figure it out, it's not the one that is going to get fired. If you can reach a point where your comfortable the AI can figure that out then go for it.

There is a lot of debate about whether developers should review AI generated code, or treat AI code generation as a "higher level of abstraction". I have two problems with the latter view. First, I am responsible for every line of AI generated code I introduce into production. If I am going to be responsible for it, I am going to check it. Second, AI code generators are simply not reliable enough yet to trust their output. I find errors frequently. Now comes the chorus of "Skill Issue" and "You are not using the same tool/model as me" comments.

@kenwheeler Think most people kind of put it on their 'mental' spam filter at this point. Second it looks like might be AI folks eyes just move over it similar to ads. Don't think most people I know mind if it's actually AI if they can't tell immediately

hey guys in your experience do people tend to enjoy ai generated content?

@vvcnzvv You accept that your not physically compatible. Move on and pursue different options that you are physically compatible with.

What do u do if the butt so fat your dick can’t get past the cheeks

@djvlad There is no logical business man who takes a 20 million dollar loss to maintain 'honor amongst thieves'.

Pooh Shiesty could have gotten away with forcing Gucci Mane to sign over the contract if he had met him in private and pulled out a gun on him. Gucci probably wouldn’t have told the police and quietly took his L. But instead, Pooh bright his dad, Big30, and 6 crash outs who started robbing everyone Gucci was with and posting the stuff they stole on Instagram as soon as they got their hands on it. I wonder if they ever had a conversation beforehand on what would happen after the robbery.

@DannyStrozier What are you even talking about. He refused to die for bodie's psychological hangup, in the belief that 'ownership' of a corner that he didn't actually own. This was the correct decision shown by the fact that he lives and bodie died. Period.

@Habeeb_903 @shazcodes It's not a real story. But hey nothing on Twitter is and we are still here

@shazcodes How do we even know if this story is real.

Our ceo fired the entire 12 person QA team last month and replaced them with an ai automated testing pipeline to save $1.2M today, we lost $6M in orders because a bot hallucinated a discount code that made everything in the store 0. The best part? he asked the lead dev to hop on a call with the fired QA lead to see if he’d consult for free to fix it. corporate greed is a mental illness

@rushicrypto Used to be 2 kinds of food trucks: cheapish (not actually cheap) ones that serve regular (blue collar) workers close to their work and and trendy ones located at 'event' locations. Trendy ones took over the whole business... But yeah 20 dollar hamburgers ain't holding up

Don’t fight me, but I feel like food trucks need to find a way to go back to being cheaper than dine-in restaurants.

@polidemitolog this isn’t school of thought, china just historically factually is not a global super power. they are predicted to become one in 20 years, but in no factual way are they considered a superpower. They are a manufacturing superpower sure.

There are two schools of thought on China. According to the first, China is a genius empire doing mostly nothing because that's a brilliant strategy. The second school of thought, which I adhere to, explains China's inaction with a simple fact: it is not in reality a global superpower, and can only bully its immediate neighbors to no end.

@romanhelmetguy I mean anything possible but Europe, I don't think the math really mathing. Seems like amongst the least beneficial alliances possible for USA and Russia to click up in 2026.

I’ve warned Europeans about this before, but if the US stops seeing Europe as a partner to help contain China, it will go looking for a different partner to support. Maybe a large country that borders China, with nukes and oil. The worst case for Europe isn’t merely a neutral US.

@robertlasagna1 Jazz was the most popular form of American music for 50 years. Most people who listened to it had no musical knowledge. What your saying is just not factually true.

The jazz question is simple: it's very fun to play, it's not very fun to listen to. To enjoy listening to it you must have a combination of technical skill and vivid imagination and be able to imagine yourself playing. It differs in this way from other high skill genres, which can be passively enjoyed at any technical level. You can train passive musical appreciation and get more out of classical music, or other complex styles, but not so for jazz, because jazz is an inside joke

@Chris_arnade This doesnt really make sense, and isnt really historically accurate. Many plants became common in europe, but the ones that couldnt grow there efficiently did not. its a tautology.

Possibly ignorant question: I’ve read extensively about the spice trade and its importance to ancient and medieval Europe, and its centrality to the Age of Exploitation and other things. Given Europeans had these spices, that some were claimed to be as valuable as gold, and that both periods were sophisticated in farming and botany, why didn’t anyone figure out how to grow their own — even in small amounts in greenhouses, which they had in various forms? Alchemy was supposedly a big deal. Was there an equivalent systematic attempt at spice cultivation? Why didn’t it motivate greater greenhouse innovation?

@paulg @JedKolko It's an expensive city without the job market to support the expense. A lot of other reasons but this is the fundamental bedrock issue.

@JedKolko Why are people leaving Miami?

Miami is the new San Francisco, with the highest out-migration rate of all large metros.

@JedKolko Florida as a state has a situation where the people who grew up in Florida can't afford to stay in Florida. A lot of remote workers moved in and now remote work is ending and as these people have to find local jobs they can't afford to live the lifestyle they expect.

@thdxr I don't think Miami has most of the structural components needed for a tech huh. Their isn't a robust labor pool, or much of the legislative support that allows SF labor pool to move between jobs quickly. Not much STEM education or even focus on that.
