tangentially related- does anyone have a good recommendation on an external CD drive that works well with macOS and has a good form factor and build quality?
I have an ancient thinkpad that I use a couple of times a year _just for reading cds_ and and have considered retiring it. But all the CD drives I see on amazon look like disposable crap.
I've been doing DevOps for a while now and have been struggling to put my finger on why at scale it turns out to be so...complex/underestimated/hard. This blog distills it down to an essence that rings true to me:
>To successfully get an application into production, you need to be an expert in the application itself, the deployment target and the deployment methodology.
I disagree that all that expertise only needs to reside in one person, but you've got to have a well functioning team otherwise. And the more facility each team member has with each of those domains the better your odds of success.
It's a matter of when not if some issue is going to show up in production that is going to require more than a proverbial reboot. If the team lacks, or its dysfunction negates, expertise in any one of these areas then the service is living on borrowed time.
