Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
The site name’s a play on “The Onion” so it’s gotta be satire, right? I couldn’t find an about page to confirm.
Yes, it's satire.
The page is run by one author https://www.theolognion.com/about and no description or goal described
Runs on "substack" platform (standard software)
The story reads like a story, and the mentioned company does not exist
Some on here once described the idea of an innovation budget. Basically you can do about 3 new things at once before you forget what the hell you are doing and that has made so much sense to me.
It's not that you forget what you are doing.
It's that all the unknown problems start interfering with each other, so you can't manage to do anything.
That is probably most common! The forgetting what you are doing part probably only comes so far down the road of trying to make a system that works despite all the interferences.
Looks like you also ran over your sentence budget.
I'll honest I was so tired that I barely got out that last sentence as I was typing.
You're still on cooldown for some words it seems.
Lmao, why use many word when few do word do trick /s
I’ve got 20+ years of professional experience at all different levels. I can take an idea and turn it into a Docker image with fully automated CI/CD on myriad cloud platforms.
K8s is still black magic to me.
Re: your username,
You're a Godling of Semi Trucks that have a Hemi?
Lucky 10000: It's a pun. A quaver is a duration of a musical note in the UK, equivalent to a USA eighth note; a semidemihemiquaver is a sixtyfourth note, used to notate e.g. certain kinds of trumpet trills.
It's both of those, and a reference to Moana where the shiny crab calls Maui a "semi-demi mini-god"
I enjoy K8s, even though it adds a lot of things that can (and will at some point) break. But at a certain scale it becomes worth it because some things become so, so easy.
I can absolutely see the benefit for really huge deployments or complex, highly-available systems. I've even sort of used it in my job working with those things. But I'm still just running commands I don't understand that some sysadmin gave me.
Just a system that deploys, injects configs, mounts dies, handles the networking based on configs and scheduling.
It CAN get more complicated since it enables more advanced deployment types, but it can be simple.
I run k3s on every computer of mine as a single node cluster now as an alt to running podman or docker.
I'd love to learn it, but my biggest hurdle has been getting a cluster actually running. Could you recommend a good tutorial?
RancherDesktop if you want a dead simple way to spin up a k3s cluster with a GUI. All of the kubernetes tooling works on too. Works on Linux, Windows, and Mac (Intel and Apple SI).
Rancher.academy had, at one point, been a really good resource, but I honestly just haven't watched tutorial in a while for k3s/rke2 so I would be lying if I said I knew one.
I don't have a tutorial to recommend but starting to play around with Minikube myself, should skip the need for an actual cluster
Kubernthrees?
K3s is a k8s distribution built to be easy and light weight
K3s is a distribution of Kubernetes that bundles in a few commonly used convenient tools. It’s fairly lightweight compared to vanilla k8s, and it’s simple to setup. It’s a great choice for experimenting and learning and also production ready when you’re ready to push it farther.
I too am puzzled on why we changed subjects.
kubernetes kloud klan - they ride around discriminating against other types of infrastructure
Its black magic that takes docker images so its actually a pretty simple once u got all ya shit dockerified
Yeah it's like docker++. Somehow networking between pod is also easier than between container. Also with k9s and argocd it's much easier to see the entire cluster.
I read somewhere that Volkswagen has about 900 K8s clusters. I feel that there is a direct correlation between this and the quality of their shitty cars.
That's not unusual, my company has an internal K8saaS product as well, so there are a lot of clusters
Seriously curious here, what cars would you consider not to be shitty?
Mostly the non German ones.
Interesting, maybe I'm just used to living in south America where even the crap German cars are better than the "premium" Brazilian and Indonesian cars we get
Down in Costa Rica I’d definitely take a VW over the invasion of Chinese cars.
But in the United States? I wouldn’t touch those overly complicated POS. The ones we get aren’t the simple cheap ones for outside the US market.
Honda
Toyotas, mostly.
Mazdas too.
True, just not the rotaries ;)
The CEO now seeks help from Phutar Afrayughum, a psychic and extrasensory perception specialist who allegedly helped Google increase their marketshare in the messaging app market, and was also involved in developing the Material Design framework.
Seems like a legit article :shrug:
Yeah I thought it was satire until I read that. I can't think of an explanation for Google's product decisions in any other way
I think they're describing my company's upcoming GCP -> AWS migration.
Hope you are getting a rebate on those egress fees.
