You Need Kubernetes?

Recorded live on twitch, GET IN

Become a backend engineer. Its my favorite site

This is also the best way to support me is to support yourself becoming a better backend engineer.

MY MAIN YT CHANNEL: Has well edited engineering videos

Hey I am sponsored by Turso, an edge database. I think they are pretty neet. Give them a try for free and if you want you can get a decent amount off (the free tier is the best (better than planetscale or any other))

I don't, but according to job descriptions, every company does.

I just love the relationship between Prime and Chat.
It's like an uncle trying to explain something to his hyperactive's nephew. That's just perfect.

Fast-to-ship frameworks are how we get unmaintainable apps nowadays:

1. Slap together a demo of the app.
2. Management: "How quickly can you put this into production?"
3. You: "That cannot be accurately predicted."
4. Management: "I need a clear time-frame."
5. You: "At least four sprints."
6. Management: "Have it ready in two sprints."

Do you want to scale? Do you want to scale across n machines? Do you want to scale across n machines and not have to baby node and service health? Then you need an orchestrator. Do you hate, “well it worked on my machine” then you want images, do you want light weight images? Then you need containers. Do you want the ability to easily move between cloud providers and onprem? You want K8s.

9:44 "complex problems sometimes just have complex solutions" - that's called irreducible complexity, and the failed software projects I have seen frequently try to "simplify" irreducible complexity, causing the complexity to be hidden and damaging throughout the whole project.

15:30 that’s not the correct use of “exception that proves the rule”. A common example is a parking sign that says “Free parking on Sundays” which implies that the general rule is no parking.

- How many kubernetes do you need?
- YES

[xeinaemm]

I migrate and modernize legacy apps including runtimes, kernels, and compilers. Kubernetes is good for building a platform to reduce the cost of managing a large data center or when aiming for multi-cloud due to scale. Most products need simple container solutions like AWS ECS. As with microservices, most products should end their journey on a modular monolith.
For now, only a few thousand companies across the globe need the K8S, but people have chosen to use it as a nail and hammer.

When you try recursion and it's not working the way you want and you start shouting profanity over and over, you're technically re-cursing.

[BobbyBasketballl]

Man reading the comments and recalling what my old coworkers say, it's like Devs never learn. The answer is almost always "it depends"... There's not a hard yes or no. I would thoroughly dislike working with the majority of you in the comments.

"You were born to deploy Kubernetes"

[andythedishwasher]

My strategy for covering every level of complexity in a project is basically to keep a Kube deployment module in my back pocket at all times for when something gets too big or insecure and the individual Docker containers in my front pocket need managed.

[logantcooper]

The hard part is when the quick and dirty MVP becomes the foundation for everything you do moving forward and management gets used to quick and dirty fixes and doesnt understand the need for a solid technical foundation.

[andythedishwasher]

3:37 Imo, if you're in a senior spot and you want to take full responsibility for the team's performance, you gotta build tools to do what those third parties are doing internally for your team. That's the only way you'll know where all the bugs came from and have handles to fix all of them. Kubernetes is stable enough to support most of the world's enterprise infrastructures. Build around that, not transient, expensive, platform-locked cloud SAAS is all I'm saying.

[NickSteffen]

I think people are confusing two things, one is understanding the concept of recursion, and the second is being able to actually use it and understand what is happening. The first is simple, “function calls itself hur, dur, easy peasy” the second is a mind melting session of doom.

[moaxcp]

I like how you mention tcp and binary protocols. I went into writing an x11 client in Java not knowing much but now it has helped me understand that all clients have some underlying protocol.

In the company I work for, Java+HTMX is eating JS/TS jobs. React and Angular devs are moving to Java/Go/Python. They seem quite happy as well.

[joshgelias]

I'd be happy to help migrate you to screen capturing in Wayland. It can be super annoying to get off x11, but it will fix that tearing. Great video!

Appreciate your transparency and candidness, hard thing to navigate these days. Keep being you dude, you're rocking the ether
