  • It’s a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I’d be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it’s never “I’d never thought of doing it that way!” levels of amazing.



  • No yaml, no helm, no operators? Using Pulumi as a layer of abstraction but not using ingress because its a layer of abstraction?

    I don’t know the equivalent in GCP, but in AWS this would be treating EKS like ECS. Missing out on 90% of the benefits of kubernetes by ignoring that 90%.

    But also, small company. Kubernetes is a better base to start from and expand from there.

    From one person’s experience (mine): They don’t read CVs that closely. I’ve got a couple of 1 year jobs (not contracts) and they’re more interested in what I did rather than why so short. If they ask I tell them it’s because I didn’t like the position but gave it a go for a year. I also have a 2 year gap in employment none of them are interested in for 4 jobs now, they don’t even spot the missing years and I’ve had to point it out in interviews because it’s a story of how I deal with big tasks.

    If they are that petty that they’ll pass me over because of something like that then that employers policies would raise more flags than I’d want to deal with anyway.

    When hiring you have hundreds of CVs pass by, I’m looking for experience, we’ll sort out these other details in the interview.

    Caveat: I am older now, more senior but never had issues finding work.

    Im pretty senior now, you’d pass me by and the most valuable thing I’d do is to reduce that learning time.

    I don’t know what you do, but in my IT jobs I’ve seen  long onboarding times are due companies not focusing on their product, eg: a finance company writing their own authentication system, or maintaining someone’s vanity project who has long since departed. Get rid of that and you can bring people in off the street.









  • Yeah I mean things drop through the cracks. Humans is humans.

    As a foreigner in the same city as LMG the work culture is to never say no, I get in to a bunch of professional trouble when saying no. So turning down work to make yourself less busy is hard for some here. I’m just suggesting that this may not be mallace and pure evil, the situation is a product of the work and office culture there. It would play out differently in different parts of the globe.



  • It’s probably overwork, rather than a malicious lack of integrity. Guy left a to field empty and moved on with his day, well probably was sending 900 emails a day and can’t keep track. Sexual harassment in the workplace? Can’t think of that we have deadlines!

    (downvote edit lol: not defending Linus, not defending the actions, or those involved in it all. Just pointing out that mistakes are made when overworked rather than tainting everyone at LMG with the unethical / lack of integrity brush)
