You're describing reaper. Super great for scripting

I hate max so much. I wish this could extend to the push 3, I've been working on an orchid clone.

It would be TRIVIAL in any other language, but noooo, I have to write a fucking max patch and deal with their trash visual syntax and runtime.

There are a lot of people who are not in unions who do no work.

It is a plague in the programming field.

Not having unions is not a silver bullet for that problem. So maybe it is a false attribution/bias on your part

we have had several manhattan project in the last 100 years, but they have all been for stuff like:

- creating a new addictive form of entertainment we can use to brainwash people

- Creating expensive data centers that MAY end up being extremely useful in the long run

and never for saving the lives of the people on our planet.

Humanity is doomed. We deserve it.

ISPs and OSs should be the ones providing these tools and make is stupid easy to set up a child's account and have a walled garden for kids to use.

SEGA has lost it's shine over the years, but IMO they are the greatest game company of all time. Their arcade output was STELLAR, their game dev teams were the most elite all through the mid 00's.

Seriously, look at their list of output. Just banger after banger. Not to mention their arcade hardware was top notch and was widely adopted.

Rest in peace David! Thank you!

My parents made me do everything, and were so fucking mean about everything, I ended up missing out on the things I actually enjoyed b/c I didn't want yet another thing to get yelled at about.

Specific: guitar and music

To be fair: part of it was to be rid of me and to not have to watch me.

Beauty pagents? Go take a good long look in the mirror. That is pathetic. Is that what you want your kids to value? Passivity? Whatever the fuck beauty pagents encourage?

At least dance is a skill.

reads like an edgy high-schooler jerking off at how much better they are than everyone else.

Its like reading Rick Rubin from a loser whose opinions I don't value at all.

Hicks with overpriced trucks don't want EVs, shocker!

They are a status symbol for middle class workers with no taste

I would honestly not mind 2-3 days a week but PDX is dead for tech jobs, and the pay is trash.

Can't wait to have to move to SF and pay 5k for a shoebox so I can work in an overcrowded office in a boring, crappy part of town.

This isn't a conspiracy theory it is just a fact. They already invested in the offices and the people who own everything have a lot of money in commercial real estate.

Yea! Start over my career, work way longer and harder hours, and make 1/3 of what I currently do! Sounds great!

The one thing I would like to preserve from microservices is stuff about database table hygiene.

Large, shared database tables have been a huge issue in the last few jobs that I have had, and they are incredibly labor intensive to fix.

Meanwhile PDX is letting homeless people ride certain bus rides for free.

It is a fucking nightmare. I'm a liberal guy but the amount of bums make the transit here unusable.

Helm sucks.

Helm, and a lot of devops tooling, is fundamentally broken.

The core problem is that it is a templating language and not a fully functional programming language, or at least a DSL.

This leads us to the mess we are in today. Here is a fun experiment: Go open 10 helm charts, and compare the differences between them. You will find they have the same copy-paste bullshit everywhere.

Helm simply does not provide powerful enough tools to develop proper abstractions. This leads to massive sprawl when defining our infrastructure. This leads to the DevOps nightmare we have all found ourselves in.

I have developed complex systems in Pulumi and other CDKs: 99% of the text just GOES AWAY and everything is way more legible.

You are not going to create a robust solution with a weak templating language. You are just going to create more and more sprawl.

Maybe the answer is a CDK that outputs helm charts.

What is Charts v3? Please tell me it is LUA support.

Yes, this is the key. Helm charts should basically be manifests with some light customization.

Helm is not good enough to develop abstractions with. So go the opposite way: keep it stupid simple.

Pairing helm with Kustomize can help a lot as well. You do most of the templating in the helm chart but you have an escape hatch if you need more patches.
