  • Cloudflare has been pretty bad too lately. Its like the big companies are not even trying anymore. And if a real war broke out…their facilities are all centralized and VERY easy to target. Keeps me up at night sometimes since a vast majority of services at work are all on central servers.

    In theory the internet self corrects. But in practice, if AWS/Cloudflare/MS/etc…goes down, a LOT of other services you dont even know about are effected. Last AWS issue took down Azure as well as people were scrambling to get servers back up and running (among other things).
















  • It helps! Ive seen it with two jobs completely change the culture around code review.

    • Instead of you/team lead being the bad guy, its now the code/process.
    • Code becomes more stable and releases actually become more frequent.
    • If something goes wrong, your VM/docker/box/etc… can just be re-spun up by the same process.
    • Easier to onboard since the same build process is in the CI. And is constantly being used rather than relying on the README (that may not have been updated in a while).

    Mind you its not perfect of course. You can still “Vibe” test and/or remove tests that dont work. And make the project more brittle. Or go overboard with lint rules (I actually had to break up a fight with that one). But its much better than the old process of merge and pray.
