Arghh the biggest issue in current place (I be leaving before year end) is the amount of "engineers" who are pathologically afraid of relational database.
You have dozens microservices per teams, split between k8s, meso, aws, azure, physical servers each on using everything under the moon to store data up to storing files in s3
Needless to say the amount of issues due to data inconsistencies is incredible. And of course the amount of actual users of the overall product is tiny being an enterprise products, maybe few thousand concurrent users at peak.
They now want regional replication and screwed due to so many sources of data. Where postgres alone would have done
If k8s was being designed from ground up I would want a move away from yaml for configuration to a strongly typed DSL, something like gradle doing with move to Kotlin DSL from weak groovy DSL.
This would mean better integration/autocomplete in editors and no time wasted on silly things like number of indents being wrong.
This looks very good well done! Microsoft need to hire you for the team asap!
It always cracks me up playing minecraft on xbox one x and once your village hits few hundred villagers framerate (when running beta from insider it's shown on screen) drops to like 3-4fps
Name any political, cultural, economic, literature, sports achievement in last 30 years to come out of Russia. That's right Internet trolls which are an evolution on kgbs psyops
Loss of UK means 10 euro a year less per every person left in eu27. You wildly overstating UKs contribution. It's peanuts compared to what Covid has caused
Eh being from Ireland if anyone puts up a border it be Irish farmers. Last thing they want is northern Ireland being used as a backdoor into Europe with UK dumping questionable gm or chlorinated food destroying their livelihoods.
Thats the other problem with Brexit, you might not be able to take advantage of remote if you are in UK as EU has fairly strict data protection laws regarding its citizens.
As a EU citizen i would be horrified if any non EU company gets its hands on my personal data.
From our point of view UK is now in same league of "3rd countries" as Russia or India
Funnily enough a good chunk of the food UK eats comes from Ireland and other neighbouring EU countries.
During this covid virus lockdown working remotely from home with a massive farm size garden growing fruit and veggies in rural Ireland has proven to be better for my mental/physical health than being locked into a tiny apartment in a city
I would have agreed with you up to few years ago, but now Dublin has a vibrant jobs market in tech with salaries that are equal to higher than London with a less crazy (tho still crazy) cost of living.
Like I said the fall of pound has been spectacular in last 4-5 years.
* Engineer London 2020 - £95K ~€105K (5K gbp increases per year)
Both engineers start at same pay 5 years ago, both of them think they are moving up in the world with reasonable pay increases per year. One of them is being screwed by falling value of pound against just about every major currency due to Brexit and all the uncertainty.
From Ireland, been looking at shenanigans in UK for last 4 years while scratching my head at the madness which seems to have taken over.
Almost daily get contacts on linkedin for jobs both relocation and remote in UK (London and Belfast) and each time I politely point out to the recruiter that (beside the already lower salaries which have not kept up with fall in pounds value) it would not be a wise move to attach one to UK at this time due to all the uncertainty, also there has been a rush of companies setting up here opening up many opportunities while remaining in Europe.
