You can’t run vmalert without flags

Running grep without parameters is also pretty fucking useless.

500 words in to the over 3,000 word dump, I gave up.

Claims to have a Unix background, doesn’t RTFM.

Nobody really uses Kubernetes for day-to-day work, and it shows. Where UNIX concepts like files and pipes exist from OS internals up to interaction by actual people, cloud-native tooling feels like it’s meant for bureaucrats in well-paid jobs.

Translation: Author does not understand APIs.

Want an asynchronous, hierarchical, recursive, key-value database? With metadata like modified times and access control built-in? Sounds pretty fancy! Files and directories.

Ok. Now give me high availability, atomic writes to sets of keys, caching, access control…

I’m ashamed enough that I can’t really apply to these jobs

This reads as “I applied to the jobs and got rejected. There’s nothing wrong with me, so the jobs must be broken”.

Back when custom ringtones were a thing and people still called each other frequently I used to have that as my ringtone.

I remember using QEMM for the first time and finally being able to load games and applications that would otherwise not work.

I remember having to fiddle with IRQ settings to get sound working.

I remember the C64 emulator and finally being able to play Ultima 4 without having to constantly switch disks.

I remember the experimental OS and hardware explosions: QNX (still alive as an automotive OS), BeOS, MenuetOS, Transmeta Crusoe.

The Voodoo graphics cards!
