I love this topic and could read an article about War2 development that is 3x the length of this article. A lot of nostalgia coming up from this original article.

All the large datacenter/cloud companies do not let hard drives leave the building.

Love my Ubiquity setup. Nice post OP showing people at of the possible. Have fun learning the setup!

Datacenters are expensive to run, for many reasons. That is the appeal of the Cloud right there, before we even start talking about the people aspect.

Love coming here too and seeing what the community is talking about on a given day.

Given how surveys work in the real world, D would be done.

You realize phones can dnd everyone but the people you want to disturb you in the middle of the night now right?

This is being built in my hometown. That hangar is amazing every time I have visited it. There are even stories of it raining inside and having it's own weather systems [1] . Really great to see them building more blimps again, and pushing what has been done before.

Until the minute I want to play a video game, or start using some non standard device with my PC. Then it turns into a 3 hour session like I'm back in college again.

Herman Miller Embody, worth every penny. Call wholesalers or office furniture suppliers in your town to see if you can get them at a discount.

This was after years of doing the normal 'buy $200 chair from local place every couple years' routine. I've had this chair now for probably 12 years with no issues at all, no wear either and I sit in it for 8-16 hrs a day too.

So OP created a product very similar to Caffeine, with an edgier name and now it's becoming an issue. Where I think you chose the name just to help get into a similar space as Caffeine in the first place.

This whole article reads like the person that wrote it owns a datacenter and/or develops monolithic apps still.

Yes, you will need to front the bucket with CloudFront and use the AWS Cert Manager to manage your own cert or to get one through AWS (free) and apply it to CloudFront.

17/20 But I'm in AWS all day every day. I also question a one or two that I missed :)

People suggesting that they follow Adobe's lead. That's all well and good, until you release like 1000 products a year. You tend to run out of two letter combos for your icons.

I thought the same thing until I actually used it. Turned out to not be that big of a deal.

This is what happens where I work as well.

I am talking about VSCode, but you make a good callout about the two products because many people may not realize the differences. I agree that VSCode and Atom are similar, but you are right, and I feel like many people, end up using plugins to the point that push VSCode to IDE levels.

I love Atom and use it as my default text editor. There are all these people talking about IDE wars in the comments. I feel like Atom is an enhanced text editor at best. But the comparisons to VSCode and then eventually IntelliJ...not even the same ballpark.

Homebrew installing Python and installing virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper makes life easy.

All of these methods people are listing that requiring me to do more than manage one file (requirements.txt) is sort of missing the point.

I get that a lot of Node developers are coming to Python to do things, and that's great. But the environments don't need the exact same tools. pipenv seems to fix a problem I never encounter with pip/virtualenv during daily development work.

So you want a better readme on most projects?

There are arguments against doing anything against system python installs in the first place.

ML tools are available in Anaconda and is where we direct our data scientists until they are comfortable customizing further.

This is very very similar to what I do and it works out great!

Things are much different in Columbus now, also you can't run from ignorant people. They exist everywhere, even in SV.

This is nice, but having the ability to get prompted for all the authorized roles for a user in an account is nice, as is done by the aws-login node app.

Use the Console to spot check things. But beyond that, the majority of your work in AWS should be scripted using the various APIs. At that point, using federated access or a proper IAM strategy makes that fairly painless.

I finally broke down and moved away from Sublime. I love it, but I couldn't justify the price. I'd rather invest in an IntelliJ IDE that I use every day and use Atom instead.

Amazon are starting to push 'new' features and services to Ohio pretty quickly if you still need a non-Virginia AWS East Coast location.

Self hosted bitbucket and the like really. Or AWS CodeCommit. We are currently using both of those in our build pipelines.

DevOps role is different because it assumes full product ownership. Typical system administrators are focused on just the infrastructure portions. In a DevOps role you are more focused on the things running on that infra, as well as the infra. It's a more encompassing role than the traditional 'sysadmin' role.
