We're hiring for our Platform Engineering team in the US (New York) and Poland (Wroclaw). We're a diverse set of technologists working together to reduce the friction of building, testing, deploying and operating infrastructure and software at scale. We've recently completed a large-scale migration to a popular cloud vendor, and are now on a journey of rebuilding our platform from the ground up to take advantage of what it has to offer.
We're a reasonably autonomous team (rare for financials!) and are looking for a good communicator with an eye for detail, and obviously someone with good tech skills. We're not fussy about people that have previously worked in financials, but someone that's up-to-date with their knowledge of the DevOps and cloud ecosphere is a must.
There are Facebook groups that offer reviews in exchange for reviews. You will see very new recipes, that have had zero chance to rank and be cooked, with comments like:
For anyone thinking they want to start a BBS, or just noodle with some software for nostalgia's sake - this is written in node.js and a lot of fun: https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs
Maybe you've never worked with someone that sucked at shell scripting, or packaging.
Ansible is awesome for enabling people to do reasonably complicated things in a consistent manner, at scale, without having to write all of the boilerplate code to be able to do so.
This is forgetting the fact that Ansible is reasonably opinionated, which is great for lowering the barrier to entry and helping devs/admins to be productive quickly.
When I just need to Get Shit Done, Ansible is awesome.
No need for an Ansible vs. Docker argument when you can combine them both!
I run a similar project called Ansible-NAS - https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas - which originally came about because I fell out of love with FreeNAS, and felt I could do a better job with Ubuntu, Ansible, and a bunch of Docker images.
Sovereign is awesome, I've been watching it for a while, but I'm not keen on everything being installed directly onto the system which is what I tried to solve with Ansible-NAS.
Yep, it took me a little while to realise and appreciate it, but you're right. Now my son is a little older he wants to do things with me too, and that would be horrible to miss because I'm stuck in front of a computer instead.
I don't know where you work but as others have said - if you have a commute that's also valuable time you can use. I used to burn all of it on Netflix, but have recently started reading about stuff I want to learn/get better at.
Great question, and a situation I've been through/still going through myself. I have a 2.5 year old son, and another due at the end of this year. We're not fortunate enough to have parents nearby, so all care is 100% on us or nursery.
When they're really young it is tough to have time for anything, especially when there's no nap regime instilled into them. I was in such a daze from learning so many new things about being a parent, that projects/hacking/downtime in general seem to take a back seat for a while.
In writing (and rewriting) this reply I've realised that in the past few years things have changed a lot for me, and when I can squeeze in "my" time has changed too. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer of "when", but my number one piece of advice would be to not be selfish. You'll kick yourself later if you miss time with your children because you wanted to learn a programming language, or that you're so tired from killing yourself with long hours or sleep deprivation that you're rubbish to be around.
Communicate with your partner too - agree when they're ok with you taking your time, and vice versa - insist that they time their own time too.
I have no idea what'll happen for me when number two comes along...but I'm looking forward to it :-)
