> resale value and being able to buy used games for cheap
This is exactly how I do it - I don't have much time for gaming as much as I would like to so I just buy one game at a time (~90% of the time it's used one), finish it, sell it and possibly look for another one; as the catalogue is so big there is no point of hoarding games
I used to own xbox and had digital collection of games - most of them I never even started (much easier to hoard stuff when it's digital); I don't have that console anymore and I was left with a useless collection of stuff I don't own tied to my online account - never doing that again
Overall I hate this news so much, I probably will give up with 'modern' gaming altogether
That's the spirit, I always say - _others_ will deal with AI slop during code review. Eventually they will get tired and start 'reviewing' this AI stuff with AI - so it's a win win. Right?
nice write-up! I wonder tho - did the optimization really affect CI wall time? In my experience such micro optimization rarely move the needle - it obviously matters because a lot jobs are running in parallel, but did it in the end improved dev experience? (honest question, just curious)
The only way this title could be any better is this: Github Actions is slowly KILLING engineering teams /s
Said that - every CI sucks one way or another, Github actions is just good enough to fire up a simple job/automation which seems to be majority of use cases anyway?
I think fully production CI pipelines will always be complicated in one way or another (proper catching alone is a challenge on it's own); I really need to check out woodpeckerci (drone ci fork) tho as I had good memories about droneci, but possibly it because I was younger back then xd
Oh yeah, Oracle; if you want to see where contributions come die see mysql-operator - ton of stuff broken, pull request fixes (like most obvious, no-brain bugfixes) slurped into bugs.mysql.com oblivion never seeing the light of day
If you're (speaking in general) going through such extremes - working 16h/day then farming and 'discovering' god - I would suggest looking into therapy; simply to regain balance; I also had a period in my life in my 30s where I tried to overcompensate, correct the life course so to speak
overall I don't believe neither extreme is healthy; doing A, then doing 2x the opposite of A because you realize A was not really good for you in the long term
> So something like pgBouncer together with transactional queries
FYI - it's already supported by cloudnativepg [1]
I was playing with this operator recently and I'm truly impressed - it's a piece of art when it comes to postgres automation; alongside with barman [2] it does everything I need and more
I love synology; bought one around 2018, runs nicely until this day; received last DSM 7.3 update so will be supported until 2028 but I will probably keep it running until it dies as I don't expose it to The Evil Internet anyway
does everything and more I need it to (backups, photos, storage, jellyfin, various media servers, torrents etc.)
> And finally you have a brilliant idea of hiring a second $150k/year dev ops admin (...)
in my experience you always need a "Devops team" to operate all that cloud stuff; so to paraphrase - suddenly you're spending $400k on three devops to operate $500k cloud
I think The Promise behind the cloud was you just pay for the service and not worry about it, but in practice you need some team to maintain it
