I’ve written thousands of lines of untyped python code for a system (still) used daily by hundreds of users, handling time critical as well as financial data. It made the company I worked for millions and it worked. Was it bug free? Nope, bugs would appear in production from time to time, but they were very easy to detect, and very quickly solved, especially because of the fact that python is an interpreted language. In 7 years of working on that application there was only one bug that caused data corruption and required us to reprocess some data that took a day or three. That was the worst thing to happen in the entire lifetime of that codebase. I totally agree that if you structure your code properly, log properly and give your developers the trust and permissions to actually solve stuff in production quickly, you might even get a competitive advantage.

2·2 months agoHow did you solve the problem that phone IP addresses are essentially all NATted? I was looking into this myself, but the fact that phones don’t have a public IP address stopped me.

The nicest people I know are nurses and teachers. Although I think there are genuinely nice people in all professions. I know nice people in HR and IT too.
It’s also used to offer cheap sms service to shady aggregators or mobile network operators. These phones will have a free sms subscription and they send incoming otp SMS s through to end users for say half the normal price of an otp SMS. 100% profit.
My work apparently. Other people got promoted for solving problems quickly. I didn’t have problems. At least, I did, but I solved them without help or advertising them enough probably.
One thing not mentioned is that if you ever want to “de-Google”, you will have to go to all websites and services where you logged in using your Google account, and (try and) change the authentication method. Avoid it if possible.
I assume you have heard of An idiot abroad?
It’s a comedy, I think a lot of the misery is acted, but fun nonetheless.
Probably because they’re from the U.S. where SMS is still used extensively for messaging.
121·2 years agoAnything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.
I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.
I don’t want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it’s YAML) everything is borked.
Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.
Not all, but a lot of coaches. Like the 23-year old just out of school “executive coach”, or the “lifestyle coaches”, “energetic coaches” etc.
Honestly, just ditch Instagram already. And convince your friends and family to do the same. It’s better for your time, your privacy and mental health. The demise of these platforms starts with people like you and me never visiting these places all together.
