Re:Ask HN: How do I escape webdev?

I was re-invigorated a few years back after doing nothing but webdev when I was thrown into a SysOps role (on AWS primarily). Having a webdev background helped when building small applications to hack things together.

Re:Ask HN: What do you look for in a software engineering candidate?
on Sunday November 25, 2018 @12:38PM (#18527816)
Good communication skills, eagerness to learn (engineering is a career not a job), some relevant experience with the stack we use. When I pick a specific candidate, I give them a personal assignment. The key is only one candidate gets this assignment. I think it’s incredibly rude of employers to give assignmennts that take 10+ hours to complete only to reject a candidate even though they did the assignment successfully. That’s why only one candidate gets the assignment: pass it and you’re hired, fail and we reject you

I love it. Coupled with Alertmanager it's a really easy to use and powerful platform. We also started serving custom Prometheus exporters for our product usage which has been helpful and really easy to implement.

Yes. The reason why the decade one grew up in usually gets labeled "the good ol days" by said individual.
Re:What you should know as a founder of a software company

Very true. However, software engineers care about what's under the hood. And the longer your company is operational you are bound to encounter engineering turnover. Attracting promising talent could get very difficult (and extremely costly) if your software stack and/or code base is antiquated.

Re:Build a burner phone with Twilio and Kotlin

Author is building a Spring MVC application but labels it as a "Kotlin app". Is it because Kotlin is the new hotness and the Spring Framework is "old" and "uncool"?

Nice. Hope you don't mind me pointing this out, but cluster manager seems like odd semantics, wouldn't that grouping be container orchestration?
