Well, if they are doing the same jobs you are, then they aren’t reaping any of the benefits.
They should be able to do some jobs that you aren’t prepared for. Personally, I would say anybody not to do one unless they have an specific job in mind… Most people I know that did one while working are quite happy with the result.

Around here, it’s probably because people are deeply aware of all the problems and unaware of all the gains.
The neighbor’s grass is always greener…

A medieval star!
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 2 days ago:
Just to add because nobody mentioned that yet… But you can always push stuff faster than the speed of sound, it will just stop being a liquid, and probably explode, but there’s no law saying the material can’t go faster.

Well, one of those is “easy”, the other is really hard.
- Comment on Can I lick it? 6 days ago:
Get a bottle of pure oxygen and open it over a tongue-simulator¹ to see what happens.
People usually use a hot-dog. But with oxygen, even a piece of wood is close enough.

Surface tension doesn’t tell you anything about the cloth-water interface.
- Comment on It’s the little things 1 week ago:
Without surface tension it would stick to whatever thing attracts it more. And a normal piece of cloth attracts water way more than a normal non-carpet floor.
But it also wouldn’t flow freely as the GP expects either. Some oils have almost no surface tension, and they are famously a nightmare to clean up.
As a positive, the water would evaporate faster.

Go ahead and lick pure oxygen. Nothing wrong with that, sure.

Just to point, but the hairs appear wherever you put some electrical current on the metal or not.
- Comment on xkcd #3115: Unsolved Physics Problems 1 week ago:
Everything we know about the way metal crystals grow is against they growing up hairs.
- Comment on holee shiet 1 week ago:
Well, if you add enough water quickly enough, it should cool down.
And if you add it slowly enough, it should just go out after “just” a “short” while.
- Comment on UwU brat mathematician behavior 1 week ago:
Switch it with a summation operator and see if it makes sense. The problem isn’t the operation by itself, but the fact that the operator implies an argument application, like a function.
- Comment on UwU brat mathematician behavior 1 week ago:
Nobody on your link is treating the integral “operator” as multiplicative.
- Comment on UwU brat mathematician behavior 1 week ago:
Hum… I don’t think the integral “operator” applies by multiplication.
You can put the dx at the beginning of the integral, but not before it.

It’s the only plan form all the teams that the company actually executes!
- Comment on xkcd #3114: Building a Fire 1 week ago:
It’d rudimentary.
- Comment on Caption this. 1 week ago:
The ear part is. Whatever is happening to the eyes isn’t.
- Comment on Brazil will respond to Trump's 50% tariff with 'reciprocity,' says da Silva 1 week ago:
Just to point out that the law that Authorizes Lula to retaliate allows the “reciprocity” to have several formats, some what are way more healthy than imposing tariffs back, like removing patent and copyright protections from US companies.
- Comment on Now accepting pre-orders on kickstarter 2 weeks ago:
Well, it seems to be always the case.
Either that or 9/10, but this time it’s that.
- Comment on xkcd #3110: Global Ranking 2 weeks ago:
Of all the games that I would expect to have a global ranking, that is the absolute last.

And you can get 1F capacitors in bulk from China for a few dozen dollars each.
Those things are still dangerous and scary. The 1T magnet way more so than the capacitor.
- Comment on xkcd #3106: Farads 4 weeks ago:
I remember reading about their names in explainxkcd. I think the only one never named in the comics is Cueball.
For a while, there was a blog, but I don’t think it named any character.
- Comment on just beat it 5 weeks ago:
And now interplanetary percussive maintenance is a thing too.
- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 5 weeks ago:
It’s called “shut up and calculate”
- Comment on Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me? 1 month ago:
Yes. They did that years ago.
The ad-blockers are constantly working into evading the ban. You may need to update your ad-blocker of your browser.
- Comment on Health of Brazil's ex-president Bolsonaro has worsened, doctors say 2 months ago:
He was in the process of using medical excuses to evade a judicial notice right before he “worsened”…
But he got notified in a hospital, because the judge decided that if he can do his political campaign from a hospital bed, he can receive the notification there too.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 3 months ago:
If this is about the US, notice that they used to have intra-party elections as a strong cultural requirement before going into the main election. They only stopped requiring that very recently.
- Comment on Backups: Am I doing this right? 4 months ago:
You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.
It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.
- Comment on Backups: Am I doing this right? 4 months ago:
I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.
If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.
Then I started reading about backing up databases
Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.
now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container
What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.
Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.
