Great thing about k8s: you can expose all your dev env needs super fast and easy.

And adding a dex or so upfront is also super easy.

If you are a small company and need this regularly try to take a look at managed k8s.

It will be worth it

Yeah configureed it yesterday.

Would have suggested it as an alternative if you wouldn't asked for it

Totally forgot about what I really like:

Quarkus with kotlin.

Kotlin makes so much more fun than java, runs on JVM too. Unfortunately it adds a kotlin complexity layer over quarkus which can add issues

We use Kotlin with quarkus with no issues. I love it. We also compile with graalvm and deploy on AWS lambda. It's amazing honestly. But it's complicated. I wouldn't really suggest it unless it fits your use case.

Puh PHP is still super shitty.

Alone debug support on any Jim based language is so much better.

I would still recommend spring boot with normal pages (templated) so no frontend ja stuff. That should be the easiest and best supported stack.

I would also still do cloud native.

Configuring, upgrading, monitoring etc is so much easier with some cheap k8s behind it (managed by argocd).

Database: managed postgres.

Alone the fact that every stable coin created itself out of thin air when bought, makes this tremendously stupid.

What's that? '. Their cognitive decline may have altered employment opportunities for which they were qualified, but they were in no way demented. Yet.'

Who writes like that?

Also I have insomnia and ADHD and I'm pretty sure weed does help and allowed me to do more not less.

Without it I'm super tired already at Thursday.

And yes I lived long enough without it and it was like this before my weed use not after.

Interesting. I have ADHD and find that smoking weed makes my symptoms noticeably worse. Depending on how high I get, I find myself largely unable to focus, or even to complete thoughts without becoming distracted. This seems to persist after I'm no longer high -- even many hours after smoking I still find myself less able to stay on task.

If you're of the hyperactive type I could possibly see some benefits? As an inattentive and non-hyperactive type it's hard for me to imagine weed helping very much.

I find the same thing. Cannabis just makes me lose my train of thought within 5 seconds. It is very irritating.

The one thing I found to help the most is excercise. Even moderate daily walking, but the more you do it, the more benefits you get. There are actually endorphins released that mimic a high the natural way.

I'm very restless normally.

Enough weed and I'm not keeping myself awake.

But I only eat a cookie before bed

I have shaky hands, and a shot of alcohol is one of the recommended ways to treat them. This doesn't mean that alcohol has no downsides though.

Acknowledging that something has negative long term effects doesn't mean that you have to stop using it, it just means that you should weigh those effects into your mental cost-benefit analysis.

Excercise is also great for ADHD. Even a 2-mile vigorous walk every day. And it actually improves your health.

As depressing as it is, better destroying that env than the more rich env

IMO as a planet we should try to move beyond that sort of colonialism. Yes the UK is a richer country, but that doesn't make their ecosystem inherently more valuable.

One could argue that the environment in UK is already destroyed, why protect that instead of something that is still relatively untouched?

I would say more diverse because the weather allows it

You clearly/ obviously gained a better office.

It's super close and it's less populated now.

Of course I would like your setup.

Just imagine how many little code snippets you used (at least I did) to make my life easier and faster

A script which parses jaon for a specific key or transforming a table from y to z.

Now everyone has this available to them.

It's great already!

But those are the low hanging fruit that help me avoid rusting skills… and this is a common phenomenon on automation: you destroy the first rungs on the experience ladder, that no one wants to do but are essential to develop foundational skills.

That's a pretty good point. I'm looking at this from the perspective of having done this for over a decade. All that stuff feels like a waste of time to me now. Even as I was using ChatGPT for my fake data, I was thinking to myself "this is like having a junior dev assisting me". So yeah, those little micro tasks that build muscle memory are going to vanish.
