I've set myself a challenge to write an article on my site for some of the Kubernetes concepts I never really got to explore. Today's was preStop lifecycle hooks and working with SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals. Powerful tools for keeping your app stable during updates.

@Caperious usually does the trick :P

@QuietFSoftware The extra cup of coffe helped!

How do you power through on the days you dont feel like it?

I can't stress enough to get your CI/CD process figured out early. It doesn't have to be complex. But if all you have is one pipeline that builds master and someway to deploy repeatably without issues, you'll thank yourself later.

I'm convinced the best way to test something is to use it yourself. If you put yourself in the shoes of your user, you'll find a lot of the big usability issues before they do. Not all of them, but many of them.

Don't get stuck watching tutorials. Whether it's game dev or any other discipline in tech. if you build it, you'll understand it better than if you watch every tutorial ever made.

@CTRbI0LGXO5571 大変そう 😔。でもまだ頑張らなければ行けないですよ!

@QuietFSoftware 今の所楽しさを見つけられてません！

No reply guy, no intern, no bot. Just a keyboard and a dream. POV: Auntie replies.

@maseylia Digging the art style! I'll keep an eye out for it!

When I started my indie game, AI honestly discouraged me. Every small step I made… Generative AI seemed to take a giant leap. I kept thinking: “By the time I release, there’ll be dozens of games like mine.” So why should I keep going? Because I’ve been dreaming of this since I was 12. I grew up playing games, and I wanted to create my own, inspired by my experiences and my favorite titles, not by what data says will sell the most. So I kept building. It takes time, it's not perfect, but it's mine! This one’s human 👇

I'm convinced imposter syndrome doesn't really ever go away. It may be quiet for a while but then you'll be working on something you think "should be easy" and it will come back louder than ever. Don't listen to it. You have come this far because you aren't an imposter.

@traversymedia I usually read while I drink my coffee. But sometimes there are too many ideas in my head and I just get to work.

What is the first thing you do in the morning? Do you get right into work? I have a guilty pleasure of playing video games that relax me (like Minecraft or No Mans Sky). I know it isn't very productive, but it helps me get into a relaxed state for the day.

@Bioinfo_Kimura うん大変ですね。でも毎日まだしてみなければ行けないですね。

やりたいこと、作りたいものは山ほどあるのに、やり切れなさそうで人生つらくなる。 #個人開発

@AnupamHaldkar Every. Single. Time. 😤

It’s always a config issue.

@uday_devops Could be a number of things. Might need better caching of code dependencies or Docker layer caching. Might be some tests that are extremely non-performant or just straight useless. Could even be the CI machine being under powered if you run your own.

Real-time scenario question: CI pipeline taking 40-45 mins. How do you reduce the CI pipeline time to 15-20 minutes?

@gouthamjay8 To your original point, I'd argue it is freeing because you can make the choice. But whether it will be beneficial or not depends on how well you know yourself.

@QuietFSoftware yup that compounds over time

solopreneur math nobody warns you about: hiring a part-time marketer = 40% of your MRR AI agents doing the same job = $200/month so you set up the agents. they work every day. no sick days. then you realize the reason you never shipped consistently wasn't time or money it was you idk if that's freeing or depressing

To a new day, May your coffee be strong and your CI/CD pipelines be stable.

今日沢山事を終わったのに充分難しい事も起こったから負けの感じです。でも進歩は進歩です。明日も一度やってみよう。みんなゆっくり寝てて今日の仕事に頑張ってください。おやすみ

Today was a day of amazing progress and yet enough downsides to feel defeated. Progress is progress, I'll take it and I'll try again tomorrow. Remember to get some sleep everyone.

@AlxTurovski Glad you got it launched. You have survived :)

Didn't feel like posting at all today. We launched our product (my day job) at a big corp today. And it was close to chaos. QAs, analytics, DevOps, something was off everywhere. It wasn't catastrophic, but we definitely didn't crush it. Then I opened X, saw the usual "consistency is key" and "code is not the hard part" posts, and weirdly, it made me smile. So here I am, posting a survival story in case it does find its reader.
