That's not a Full Stack Developer
That’s an entire IT department
Yours truly #stolen10 -
Being rejected as "unprofessional" for explaining that I don't want to rush a decision 2 days before Christmas. By the guy who, I kid you not, showed their EKS credentials on screen during a recorded online interview. Kinda glad I dodged that one now that I'm looking back...6

DevOps is a huge scam.
Whoever sold companies maintenance-free cloud is God-tier marketer, they would be able to sell fire extinguishers in hell.
First, the platform is constantly moving, keeping up with all the updates for Kubernetes/CNI/Ambassador/Calico/kube-proxy/wtf/foo/bar/etc requires a huge team constantly peddling the boat; and if not updating in time - eventually everything will suddenly break when AWS deprecates old Kubernetes version (1.23 in EKS has just 1 year and 2 months (!!!) of support) or whatever else. At least they don't deprecate services that often.
Second, all other tooling either suck, or expensive as a Boeing. DataDog/Splunk/NewRelic/Grafana? Data centers were built for the monthly prices of these tools not so long time ago. But, capex vs opex, what stupid software engineers knows (though, it's hilarious to be present on a meeting with an agenda "reduce cloud costs").
That's all really.
On the bright side, when the team is solid and really care about the product and build it in a cloud-first manner (with understanding of all the requirements, caveats and limitation) - it can be rock solid, stable and fast platform.
To bad it's incredibly easy to implement some impressively wrong architecture (much more easier than f'up single-server architecture).8 -
whhooOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHSHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMRRRRRRRRR
yepp, that's me running a GitLab pipeline on my PC and laptop (laptop is noisier, 'cuz PC has Noctua all over the case).
Turns out running a pipeline of ~200 jobs is quite network-demanding. To the levels where my DNS server in LAN is timing out. And streaming Netflix in parallel kills some of the gitlab runners.
daammnnnn.... I so don't want to pay for an EC2 or EKS at this stage :/
But then again, I don't remember when was the last time I heard fans whooshing in my lappy. I so got used to only hearing the coils whine in it...
Decisions, decisions1 -
Came across a job posting for a lead developer yesterday. One of the requirements:
"Minimum experience:
dotNET 6 (3-4 yrs)"
Yeah and that technology came out less than 2 years ago
Is this position for a time traveler or siamese twins?4 -
I can't fucking read adobe *eks deh* ever as what they intended it to be, it always seems like the author of the comment / .. is a gen Z laughing out loud about something.6

They say that runing the same command over and over again is a sign of insanity.
LIKE HELL IT IS!!!
I've been running `terraform apply` for the last hour (trying to dump an EKS token in plain-text, because my k8s-related providers failed to auth to the cluster), and miraculously the problem went away. Now the error is no more.
Insanity?
I beg to differ!

Trying to get HIPPA compliance, and wet have to put full disk encryption and anti virus software on all our servers...
All of our servers are on aws ec2 / eks. The instances we do control aren't big enough for anti virus to be running...
God help me now5 -
Hey EKS, it would be really cool of you if I didn't have to play Russian roulette with you when I try to scale down a node.
I cordoned a drained a node for you to notice, wouldn't it be too hard to let me select which one to put down instead of doing whatever you want?
Thanks.2 -
Question :
What is a better solution to host a flask application on AWS ? ECS or EKS or Fargate ?
Looking for personal experiences and opinions3 -
I cant find 1 single normal Fucking tutorial explaining how to code FULL DEVOPS PIPELINE for deployment to AWS.
A pipeline that includes
- gitlab (ci cd)
- jenkins
- gradle
- sonarqube
- docker
- trivy
- update k8s manifest
- terraform
- argocd
- deploy to EKS
- send slack notification
How Fucking hard is it for someone to make a tutorial about this????? How am i supposed to learn how to code this pipeline????10 -
Spent two days debugging a k8s config. Turns out Rancher doesn't create ingress controllers on EKS instances, and I have to do that manually.
Thank you random stranger in github issues! I've tipped you some BAT!2 -
Whyyyy whyyy can a billion dollar company be the last regarding Kubernetes as a service!! EKS has such a fat ass, damn slow to bootstrap and a pain to manage the lifecycle, while all other clouds even the small ones have figured it out. Can't just get it.6
