I don’t think I want to buy used hotdogs

Wait, cyber trucks hava a liver?

It’s not innovative anymore, but it sure was when it released. But they kept it near its peak instead of making it utter horse crap.

You aren’t wrong… But everything with extended use needs to be maintainable. Making a change in 5 places sucks.

Plus, that’s what open-closed principle is all about. Instead of adding additional functionality to current working code, you extend and modify.

My 4 host machines run debian (proxmox). I have a lot of different guest flavors running though, debian, fedora, rocky, one old guest still running Ubuntu and even a mint sandbox machine.

I probably have a bit more complicated self host than others because I am using it both for my useful internal services (jellyfin, git, pihole, etc.) I also run a whole lot of services for learning, such as kubernetes and dns. Plus a whole lot of other mostly useless stuff that I only use to test different architectures or automations that come in handy as an SRE.

The thing to think about is reusability. Are you copying and pasting code into multiple places? That’s a great candidate to become a class. If you have long lived projects (i.e. something you will use multiple times over a lot of years) maintainability is important. Huge functions and monolithic applications are very hard to maintain over time.

Break your functionality out into small chunks (methods and classes). Keep it simple. It may take a while to get used to this, but your time for adding additional functionality will be greatly improved in the long run.

A lot of great programmers were terrible at one time. Don’t let your current lack of knowledge of principles stop you from learning. One of the biggest breakthroughs I had as a programmer is changing how I looked at architecting applications. Following SOLID principles will assist a lot in that. Don’t try to understand and use these principles all at once, take your time. Programming isn’t what you make your living with, it’s a tool to help you be more efficient in your current role.

Realize that becoming a more effective programmer is different for everyone. Like you, I was self taught. I was a systems and network engineer that decided to move into software development. I’ve since moved into a role that takes advantage of all the skills I’ve learned through the years in SRE. like you, a lot of what I write now is about automation and analysis.

The NFL is a non profit, the teams are not. It still doesn’t make it right, though.

I’d just go be a bard in a tavern. Drink, sing and play instruments.

Hey you, you’re finally awake…

I call it d-bag for short.

Is 24/7 the newest version from Microsoft?

Docker is just a lightweight container that has the app and OS all in one package. It uses the underlying kernel of the host system. No where near the same as electron apps.

Well, I was… But dual 700w power supplies running a whole lot of VMs was a bit too much power draw.

Sweet Baby Ray’s?

My power edge R630 was eating way too much power… It’s off and being replaced with a second consumer grade PC to be my second host.

I don’t really have anything that takes enough clocks to justify that pig of a machine.

Yes, Midwestern USA. 46

I haven’t driven one in years, but I can and will.
