My take is different. I think DevOps was wildly successful, most of our infrastructure is now software that can be managed by Software Engineers. The goal posts have shifted, we now have major software challenges where as before we had hardware and operational challenges.

Well written tools and cross-functional teams that do both operations, feature work and security are still the path forward IMO, we just need to refocus on developer experience.
> the entire point of DevOps was that "operations" shouldn't exist, and that operations is a task that should be done by the developers.
Ergo, if you even have operations people to comment on it, or if you are hiring dedicated "DevOps" people, you aren't doing DevOps and have already failed.

This. My first thought when I was reading the article. Spot on

It doesn't help that, at least in my experience, a lot of "pure" software developers absolutely want nothing to do with the ops side, preferring to work on new features and just code, and vice versa.
I can't read the article, but it's about California, and in California, zoning isn't the issue. The issue is abusive planning departments.

It routinely takes over a year to get through permitting. During that time owners have to pay interest on the new place, insurance, and are also paying to retain architects, engineers, etc.

Homeowners are randomly bankrupted by nonsensical environmental restrictions (examples: banning modern septic technologies, and tightening requirements for old style installs. Once a plot is subdivided and sold, declare it unbuildable. Demanding trenches being dug to test soil suitability for leachfields, then denying applications because the trench disturbed the soil.

Some of this crap was recently banned, but just for accessory dwelling units (aka. mother in law cottages), so it's possible to reform the system, and there are even laws on the books that provide a blueprint.
I hated that movie the first to I saw it. I was bored with it.

Now I love it. I really enjoy how much time they spend establishing the atmosphere and characters. It all feels very real and has depth.

I loath the speedy sci fi that tries to touch on atmosphere and then hurries along with their paper characters and so on. So much sci fi I encounter now feels little more than a long trailer with no idea how to end.
Thinking about what was possible to make in 1982, it's pretty amazing. It's an absolute classic, up there with the best of the noirs (the actual film noirs), such as The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and The Third Man; the logical answer to the Neo Noir Body Heat the year before. It's like a legacy moving onto such things as Ghost in the Shell and even The Matrix.

DevOps was the name of the conference.

The actual job title was meant to be “Agile Systems Administrator”.

People got the conference confused with the “10 deploys a day” talk from Flickr.

DevOps is a failure because it’s a meaningless term that changes depending on the bearers own understanding: the issue is that everyone is right. It’s a nebulous idea.

I wrote, rather frustratedly, about this. I even did the research and learned something new myself at the time.

http://blog.dijit.sh/devops-confusion-and-frustration

Someone on hackernews responded to me once that: “devops is how sysadmins get respect for their role” and that resonated with me.

Sysadmins today are what helpdesk was 15 years ago now though.

I mean, a couple paragraphs down, the article says:

> The solution here is to have a dynamic tick so that when the CPU is idle, the timer interrupt is either deactivated or reprogrammed to happen at a point where the kernel knows there will be work to do (for example, a process might have a timer expiring in 5 seconds, so we must not sleep past that). This is also called tickless mode.
Whereas your use of “a group of people from multiple ethnicities, genders, sexualities and creeds” is code for:

> People who agree with my political ideology.

A woman of color that held heretical beliefs contrary to your orthodoxy would be no more welcome than anyone else.

It’s telling that you argue that your opponents are “people who want to silence, suppress and destroy anyone not part of the dominant group”, and then immediately turn around use that assertion to justify the necessity of silencing and suppressing those not part of your dominant group.
I think your text is clear enough, sorry for hijacking the tread. Both look like good submissions, anyway.

I don't think DevOps can really be a failure anywhere as it isn't old enough or solidified enough to have a universal definition and any group of activities itself can be mis-performed regardless of what you call it. That includes being a bad webmaster and having a system operations department that isn't able to actually deliver anything.

If Development and Operations intersect for some activities, and sharing responsibilities for those activities helps, then it's a win. That includes developers not having to wait for some resource to be provisioned because they are "not allowed to click the button themselves", and operations people not having to do the same "create resource" task all day long.
They are definitely future planning things. IF you don't go for a run now you won't notice tomorrow, you won't notice in a week. You won't even notice in a month. But compare a person who is 50 who was active for his entire life and one who isn't and the differences can be stark.
> I just don't get the hype.

IMO, much depends on when you were born.

When it came out, Blade Runner was truly something else and rode in on multiple deep cultural vibes of that era (e.g. Japan, Vangelis's synth music, etc...).

Second, the book it was based on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_...) was also quite unique in the SF genre of that era, as was the author (Phil K Dick).

The thing is : on top of that, amazingly enough, the visuals / art direction has aged rather well, going from what was a futuristic vibe at the time to something that now looks steampunk-ish.

I must confess to being boringly average when it comes the Blade Runner: I do love the movie, and it is certainly in my top ten sci-fi movies list.
“Dedicated devops” is not devops, never has been. Devops is a culture where, super simplified, you run what you built. “Dedicated devops” is just ops

Not even a word there in the note devoted to goddess Daryl Hannah.
The point of the DevOps movement was to unify Dev and Ops, not rename SysOps to DevOps. The Devs aren't the customer of DevOps, they are the people who are now doing Ops as Ops and Dev were to be merged into a single DevOps, with developers simply coding the operations in the same way they code everything else in the product.
Shouting random things is not the same as lacking the cognitive capacity to EVER learn to tie your shoes. How on earth are you making that comparison?!

Wait, weren't those humans cultivating the Yahoo directory also just random internet strangers?
sorry - its me thats past tense. didn't want to presume that things are still done that way. fwiw i don't why more environments don't have the same flexibility.
I did learn a bunch, I went on a bit of a dive refreshing what I knew about the MPI and Heisenberg. Interesting stuff.

But back to your point. Your point was made using two examples. Bad examples, in my opinion, since the first doesn't apply (consumption of work vs collaboration) and the second one also doesn't apply (building on others work vs collaboration).

Your further point about watching what people do vs what they say they do is a reasonable point, but doesn't have much to do with the value of a code of conduct. I'm pretty much in agreement, that's the best way to proceed when collaborating with a single individual - but communities are more than the sum of their parts. If there are three people collaborating on a project, and one swears a lot in their commits, and one prefers a lack of swearing, and one doesn't care either way - how do you resolve that conflict? Nothing you've said offers a useful tool to navigate that situation.
During the Rubik's Cube craze of the early 1980s, people would gather round to watch a skilled person solve one. I seem to recall even seeing it on TV. Behavior is the same, technology has just allowed a change in scale.
I really enjoyed the aesthetic of it, I enjoyed the tone and even many of the major story elements but I found it so hard to track the story.

It's unfortunate because the show had the great thematic elements (Mithraic vs atheist war -- mother as a godlike angel etc) and had amazing small details but lost itself somewhere in-between. Why was there a giant worm and why did everyone forget about the giant worm in Season 2 ?

This might be a Ridley Scott problem, because, everything I said can also apply to Prometheus.
Lol. It goes both ways.
How was live music and entertainment though?

I mean, stuff that wasn’t available because the technology didn’t exist was obviously not as good.

And none of the channels you’ve mentioned are counter culture. 3blue1brown, Mathologer, etc are a combination of being able to do stuff because animation is easy and cheap to do, but they are hardly long tail at this point.
While I would never agree to this particular Code of Ethics, this document isn't intended to be some license you agree to in order to use SQLite. See "2.1. Scope of Application" -- It makes it clear that this is intended to be the developer's promise to the user, not the other way around.
I think it still holds up. Very few films are as bold and original today. Everything is CGI focus group contrived garbage now.

There's also the difference between building stuff in a desert and building it in a more moderate location...

I figure the only reason this stuff is being done at all is because somewhere there is some margin to be made. Sadly, that doesn't magically create more water, but money doesn't care about that.
>You're sea-lioning, or what the guidelines call cross-examining. No set time period was specified. Even the per-annum numbers already cited add up to thousands over a decade or two.

Claiming that no time period was specified makes the statement true, but also makes the statement so weak that it doesn't really mean anything.

>Also, you seem to be demanding precision when you haven't even specified a threshold you would find acceptable. Is it OK for you that "merely" hundreds of women die needlessly? Instead of trying to make others chase your ever-receding goalposts, perhaps you should try making your own persuasive argument.

I already have, in my previous comment.

>2. even if you accept that there would be "deaths of thousands of young women", I doubt those deaths would sway the opinion of someone who thinks each abortion is murder (ie. 629,898 "deaths" from abortion vs "thousands" of "deaths")
Development Integrated Security Container Operations

Quite common to hear comments like this, from people who have never worked at the scale in which the annoyances of monorepo are eclipsed by its advantages. I'm not saying anything particular to you, but it's quite hard to get to that scale in the first place, say global top 50 in big tech, so it's natural most folk can't understand why X company "still" runs monorepos.

At that scale, anything reducing complexity is a bonus. At that scale, monorepos are great for that.
I have one of the small Proxxon screw cutting lathes, PD250/e.

It’s great, I love it.

If I was more serious I guess I’d move to CNC[1] but to be honest I really enjoy working by hand as an alternative to IT work.

It does kind of lack power compared to a bigger lathe but with HSS cutting tools it works fine. I do have carbide insert tooling too but save that for softer materials like Al. It would probably struggle a bit with titanium but if I stick to brass, Al, silver-steel or 303 stainless all’s good.

I wondered about their little tabletop tool grinder/polisher but I do worry the motor is a bit too weak to be useful. Anyone tried it to know for sure?

1. Proxxon themselves actually sell CNC versions of their lathes and mills.

Therr might be confusion between being allowed to remember information and passing on information. The private address book can contain entries. But giving apps access to that supposedly private data may be passing on data of others without their consent.

Just an incredible film. Even the slow parts, and there are a lot of them, have so much rich setting to marvel at.

The love scene comes across as nonconsensual and it makes me uncomfortable every time. Whether that's intended discomfort or an artistic regret, I don't know.

Other than that, it's one of my all time favorites for the reasons others are mentioning. I recommend the 2007 Final Cut.
My classic C programmer curmudgeon take is that the root of the problem, as with everything else in this industry, is bad software built on top of bad software built on top of bad software... and on it goes.

The systems in your 2022 world are hard to test and maintain because they are bad, and the tools we built to test and maintain them are largely built on the same foundational ideas and technologies, so they are even worse.

We're going to have to rip everything back down to the foundation in order to make progress beyond finger-pointing (X is DevOps but Y is software engineering and Z is IT admin).
In the 20th century being a "web developer" was a reasonable thing. One person could pretty much do it all without much of an issue, at least for smaller sites. Today, with the countless frameworks and stacks, mounting complexity, and sprawl of code across dozens or hundreds of files... it no longer seems realistic.
DevOps is Dead! LONG LIVE DEVOPS!
Yeah, well ... very interesting series, with lots of unusual/interesting ideas and really creative visuals, but sorry to say, the storyline was a complete mess and unexciting and depressing.

Does the Kelly criterion apply in this case? The Kelly criterion tells you what % of your bankroll to bet but the problem here is deciding how much of your net worth is in your bankroll in the first place.
Appreciate the distinction here. My POV may be outdated because most SaaS founders I know were building companies with few IPO reference points for valuation vs today. Still seems the psychology/argument for rejecting significant multiplies on rev hasn’t changed even though the facts on the ground have.

I’m concerned a generation of founders may underplay their hand while VCs benefit from overstating the impact of current market conditions on future valuations.
> Individual projects should be able to upgrade dependencies separately.

No, that way lies sorrow and despair. There should only be one version of any dependency being used in your company. Any deviations should require like VP-level approvals or something.
This is so absurd. Zoning involves so much central planning that it would put the Soviet Union to shame.

Suppose you want to add an extra room to your house on your land that you ""own"" in this system. You would need to go prostrate yourself before some bureaucrat in city hall. Who then inevitably declines that variance because some busybody somewhere thought that it interferes with the ""neighborhood character"".

How can we even say that you own your own land if you are not allowed to build on it as you please? Where is the freedom in any of this?
Some things survive this process, though, and some don't. For example, I didn't see Alien until after I saw Blade Runner. I see Alien as more influential and copied than Blade Runner, yet I still think it's great.
I'm the other way around. I loved the atmosphere and the slow pace when I first saw it. But ever since I read the book I can't enjoy it the same way. I feel it just doesn't do it justice.
> We can make an analogy here to UTF-8. Let's pretend that "character" means "valid multi-byte UTF-8 code" and "code point" means "byte".

That's not the usual terminology. For UTF-8 the "valid multi-byte UTF-8 code" is the "code point" and the byte is the "code unit".

Absolutely, hehe. (I love the old Blade Runner, not at all the new one)

> I had a professor in college who was obsessed with Blade Runner and had us watch it in class.

To balance that out, our religion teacher showed us The Exorcist ( https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9552-the-exorcist ) - sounds hard but to be fair anybody who did not want to watch it was allowed to leave the room & come back later.
> But this push to take away the freedom of people to not live on top of each other is another form of classism

This sounds like a ridiculous straw-man; who's pushing to take away freedom of people to not live on top of each other?

People advocating for suburbs to pay their fair share of taxes, and for less car subsidy, and for less restrictive zoning are not restricting freedom but increasing it.
I work in a team of 45 devs. We develop, deploy and maintain our code. Maintenance is done on rotation, everyone is responsible for deployment of their code all the way to prod and we maintain the CI/CD pipelines ourselves. K8s is the only managed service we use on aws. On Azure, we manage our own K8s. It's not "a single person" but as a team, we all do it.

It's usually always a solution with an overly complex chain of tools that only do a small part of deployment/security tasks because it's a food chain, where each vendor can eat a part of the company's budget consistently, based on a problem that really isn't consistently solved...

Apps are still no more secure because there are several points where they can be compromised, rather than just a few involved in a less automated, but more easily replicate-able process. Also, I don't need "flavor of the month" skills to get things done. There is always a revolving door of fly-by-night-hype tools and brands that regularly rise and fall in the IT world... I avoid them (new hyped products) like the plague. I'm fine with being the stubborn middle aged IT guy now. :P

It's all a food chain based on making money. What matters to me most is whether money is being made from the product that is deployed, and if it's simple, reliable, and secure enough to be worth development. I don't do my job to make a bunch of companies money by using their DevOps tools.

Screw impressing other engineers with solution complexity every time. Functional reliability always wins at the end of the day. Leveraging a massive list of Ops tools only creates a huge backlog of update work, designing efficiency and simplicity in most of my solutions is what ultimately pleases most of my clients.
Thanks. The same for you.
