Think I've posted this before but my employer paid Elastic for the official training - and even that course included everything on how to set up, run and tune ES but applying any security was only covered in the advanced course that you had to pay another $x thousand dollars to attend.

So even doing official Elastic training still leaves you with a nice footgun.

Kind of more limited to a 200OK-level health check, but Structurizr does support basic checks like this (https://structurizr.com/help/health-checks) - though I do love the idea of being able to add links to an object so you could jump the log page of that service in your logging platform.

You're really going for the straw-man argument here I see, there is a huge difference between launching a space ship and creating a new way to mine the earth and destroy the environment.

I understand that they have this little catch-all:

> GSR has said it will only apply for a mining contract if the science shows deep seabed minerals have advantages, from an environmental and social perspective, over relying solely on land mining.

But I'm not going to hold my breath thinking that if they find a rich-enough deposit of minerals - that they wont suddenly discover enough "advantages" for the ocean to now be open to the same decimation as land mining has seen for many years.

You're right, anecdotal knowledge does apply to everyone's job market... HN worldviews are wild sometimes

I'm sure this gets mentioned every time, but this is great supplementary reading to 13 Minutes to the Moon podcast https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547

Even doing the official Elastic training - Elasticsearch Engineer 1 gives you everything you need to hurt yourself to set up, use and admin a cluster, but no security is covered unless you sign up for the next course and pay another couple of thousand dollars. Security really should be covered as a default in EE1.

I'm a huge fan of beginner tutorials that include security as a default, rather than having it as the thing you do last - and then commonly in actual project work all the development gets done against an insecure cluster in dev, then someone turns security on at the end, it all breaks and you now have a group of stressed-out people only incentivized to remove the thing that is now delaying the project at the very last moment. Makes for some easy mental gymnastics.
