"I miss G+"
That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear in my life.
I also miss it, because the people that voluntarily used it would fill in all of their PII (for google to harvest) and then leave it all visible to the public as some sort of weird flex. Made it much easier to avoid them IRL.
 
This is absolutely trash advice. You never test on Prod, and if you do, you are fucking amateurs LARPing as a company. There are three stages of environments. Dev tests the functionality of the code, dev environments are unsuited for testing at scale but don't need to be. Staging environment is one of two things: a) clone of your production environment down to the hardware, or b) an actual node in your production cluster. Once validated it gets promoted to being a live server in your production environment. Rinse and repeat for each node in the cluster.

The costs of not adhering to this best practice are catastrophic eventually. All it takes is one bad deployment where noone knows the fix to cause untold damage to the company. Every second a site is down causes exponential damage to it's reputation. In the event of a serious app like a payment processing tool or an e-commerce store, every second down is also lost revenue.

Being a shitty developer is fucking hard, and being a good developer is much harder than even that.

To circle back, the regular costs of multiple environments far outweighs the benefit of not.
Yeah, this generalized stuff being sperged at conferences right and left. We don't test in prod, we have 3x environments, we use hotswap for every our env. And once again, it doesn't work for every scenario. I can name a dozens out of top of my head when adhering to those principles does more harm then good money-, time- & effort wise.

Also hard disagree. 100% of my experience with talented network people says the talent is too busy to seek certificates. A ton of them have very informal backgrounds, but years of experience solving WTF problems. Their achievements overshadow anything else on their resume and that shows in an interview.

Staging environment data can easily be set to a point in time copy of the production database. This solves the problem of not testing with real data. Sophisticated test environments use scripts to randomize PII columns in the db. All of these stated problems have been solved at a corporate level.

Lastly, most corporate networking is on the cloud these days. The idea of ridiculously expensive hardware is nonsense unless you're a moron; the computing resources scale and can be (relatively) quickly changed in a cloud environment.
When you have 5000+ network sockets in a building they needed to be connected to physical hardware first to be reachable to any sort of cloud management solution. Guess what used for that? Right, physical hardware on site, dozens of it. And it needed to be configured by somebody who knows how to do it because they done it before on live stuff. And no, it's not a couple mikrotiks you setup by using google. Expensive hardware used just for that. Try to build staging for that using maybe just 5 of them. Once again, nobody does that

My brother's thesis, back in the day, was developing a way to simulate complex network topologies so that you could test them before investing in the physical hardware. If I recall correctly, he ended up limited by the dearth of available performance data, so he never tried to pursue it beyond an academic level. Shame really.

Turns out networking shit is hard. Elliot also clearly doesn't understand that, given the way he treats networks as somehow equivalent to platforms. He's used to a world where you can just fart torrents of packets between abstract, ephemeral devices without worrying about the stuff in between. Bandwidth is functionally infinite and bottlenecks are just brute-forced by expanding horixontally, rather than optimising performance. He's emblematic of the reason why the internet is so shit these days.

the only free speech Elliot seems to care about is prostitution lmao
 
I truly believe we've won by now. The only reason cloudflare and others dropped us was not because of morals, but were afraid of keffals, specifically what they perceived as a large number of his mindless lapdogs that attack at his command, even if they were mostly bots and the few that did participate eventually gave up. now that he's gotten bored there's no reason for anyone to take those who remain seriously. Do you really think any company is going to care about the complaints of some chink that USED to work at google, or some random twitter users that are looking for their daily outrage? No. If 8chan can stay up after being blamed for a literal terrorist attack, i think we'll be just fine.
Knock on fucking wood

Well, that's the point, you can't really build any reliable network solution for testing without using actual physical hardware, and yeah, networking shit is hard. You can use emulators like Eve-NG or Cisco Packet Simulator, but it won't help you much when you touch real stuff

ive been fruitlessly dilating
im a wimp and a coward who cant deal with pain or stress
i cant stop dilating

- Elliot Fong-Jones, poet

I ... I don't even know where to start with this picture.

It's so weird. I have never seen someone lying in a bed with a laptop like this. Do people really do this? Am I this old and too much detached from life or what is this? Noone can tell me that this is comfortable. Or that it doesn't look completely retarded. What the fuck is this. He is crying on Twitter bc of his eyes rotting from inside because he spends too much time in front of screens and scanning the internet for mean words and then he is lying in bed like this? Are you fucking kidding me?

And the fucking head. I can't stoping looking at it. Jesus Christ, is his head big ... and like a brick. His head is literally a brick hahahahaha It's like a car crash. You know, you don't want to see it but you can't stop looking at it.

And the stuffed animal ...

And the fucking big brick head.

And the fucking uncanny face.

And his dead eyes. I bet he his watching some depraved porn shit.

And his fucking frog voice.

Imagine going to your bed room, seeing this lying in your bed and starting quacking at you hahahahaha holy shit.

Good Lord. Elliot hahahaha just look at you hahahahaha

Too bad Chairman Cow can't have an orgasm anymore, LOL. And also good to know that tumblr is going to be the hive of autism and degeneracy once again, just like the good old days.
 
I'm retarded, sorry. Their username was already found.

Being a long time EVE player I could never stand Of Sound Mind, they always came off as overly pretentious PC woke space cunts and in no way shape or form am I surprised to find that Elliot is June Ting LMFAO, IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Today's a great day, another tranny alliance confirmed in a dead game hahaha. Old news but I only have so much room in my head for stupid Internet shit
 
What this degenerate hypocrite fails to realize is that making fun of troons and mocking them mercilessly just happens to be MY fetish. How dare he judge me for my fetish! It's who I am! It's MY IDENTITY!

Has he considered that we might enjoy this? Null even makes his living from it. It was just a fun day at work for him before you came along determined to ruin it for our entire MARGINALIZED community!

Stop oppressing us you troon colonizer!
Lol my fetish is hanging outside of Liz Dong Gone's shitty flat with a crowd of people with signs chanting "no more eyes! No more eyes!"

He wouldn't want to kinkshame me, would he?? 🤔
