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.

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.

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.

yaaaaarrr tis cheaper than eva matey

hey guys stop talking about the thing that i just made a post about but won’t name and therefore is not about that thing that i’m complaining about.

if you want to see better content, create it. you’re making it worse by posting about it yourself.

i can see it both ways. for technical folks, nothing beats a package manager. in terms of getting your emulator i’m front of the masses there is absolutely no question that Steam is the platform that makes that easiest.

fair!

respectfully disagree—this is very much a regex dsl. folks still need to conceptually understand regex to use this, which begs the question about who this is for.

the best use case i can think of is large and complicated expressions, but i’d need to see more of that to have a definitive opinion.

i mean, you can learn the basics of matching in 30 minutes or less. that core knowledge will be broadly applicable across any tool that uses regex. things get much easier once to have a handle on the basics.

…or you can learn this regex dsl and still have to learn regex. the difference is you’re learning a non-portable regex syntax.

so, where’s the email address regex? that’s where this lives or dies. there is no reason to use this for extremely simple happy-path regexes.

i’m having a tough time understanding who this is for. a beginner might think this is great, but they’re shooting themselves in the foot by adding an additional layer of abstraction rather than reading something to learn the basics.
