  hating on k8s is very in vogue currently. simpler systems like ECS exist and are really good too.

  anybody bitching too hard about the tools today isn’t remembering 10 years ago correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  this is a conversation you usually have before the technical stuff. you’re making sure your ideal pay and their band is in sync.

  being pushy early in the process is terrible advice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  even then, a position may not be for a certain level so they’re can be a fairly wide band of pay depending on how the interview goes.

  i think most folks vastly overthink it. just ask for the money you want to make. either it’s in the ballpark or it’s not. all this “don’t say a number first” stuff is bullshit imo.

  you definitely do want to know if your desired pay matches their range though. that’s very important.

  if this 4 year old is better with emacs than i am i’m going to kill myself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AITA because I (38F) don't want to take my stepson (9) on vacation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yta. your stepson is “your” family. excluding him is completely fucked. he didn’t choose to be in between 2 families. i can’t imagine how shitty the rejection would feel in this scenario.

  “MY money”, “MY family” makes you sound like an absolute piece of shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AITA For Refusing to Share a Campsite With Strangers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  nta. some people might be comfortable with this and some aren’t. standing up for what keeps you comfortable is the right move imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it just me or GitHub is turning into some sort of LinkedIn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “programming” is so broad though. surely there’s room to have it be both work and a hobby ?

  i mean, it is for me and lots of folks i know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it just me or GitHub is turning into some sort of LinkedIn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  there are tons of developers and technical folks that still find it fun and enjoyable to work on personal projects.

  i mean, how else do you build new skills or gain familiarity without stuff you don’t use at work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it just me or GitHub is turning into some sort of LinkedIn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  you can show activity without showing the details of the activity. which is at least demonstrating you’re active.
