When hiring Juniors, we expect to train you on the job, so the most important point your application has to make is that you're interested in the subject. Do you toy around with NixOS? You run a homelab? Put it on there!

Reliability engineering also factors in the probability that a repair will make a system function again.
I'm reminded of this because I built and sold a firewall that booted off a CD and loaded its configuration off a floppy. I thought it kinda jank then, but… solid state stuff fails in weird ways.

In this link you'll see a StackOverflow post where a developer of Vagrant helps describe where Vagrant sits and how it compares to docker. They're not the same. Vagrant is more like an orchestration layer with an easy way to get prebuilt images to rapidly develop against. Need a LDAP, grab it.

Vagrant and a beefy laptop is a powerful tool I've used to create small mockups on my laptop. I love the other tools mentioned here but vagrant is the one that I rarely hear others using.
CI jobs for my ansible playbook have been broken for months due to some changes with GitHub Actions. This took me down a rabbit hole...
Long story short: Self-Hosted GitHub Actions runner, running on Proxmox with nested virtualization to run molecule tests using Vagrant against VirtualBox VMs.

This is brilliant titling. Wish I could have seen the presentation!
Another fine session, "Securing a hipstershop, a DevSecOps journey about container security", by first time speaker @DavideSellitri at @KCDOslo where he's dropping first hand knowledge about #kubernetes security and even live demoing policies in action with project Calico!

ah, but what is the “right” thing to do, you ask? Now that’s where real fun work begins, discover the answer to that question
I’ve been building CI/CD platforms for eight years 😱 and my philosophy is basically the right thing for developers to do with system should also be the easiest thing to do

The level of rigor needed in your integrations will be dependent on the importance of the service, but this is a short and good video that explains many options to improve your API quality. #SLISLO #KPI #SRE
Testing is (also) about confirming expectations. We call an API, for example. It needs to do something. But does it really?
There's a video for that.

A good business study on how basic UX design hasn't been implemented in one area. And it's written humorously so if you're needing a smile, give it a go.
I hope they release your packages from purgatory soon!
I share this link about DHL being horrible in hopes it brings you at least a small laugh: builtformars.com/case-studies... And here is a small snippet of what's in the article.

DHL collected my parcel, took it 40 miles away,
and through customs for a security check.
At this point they would have been confronted with
a very strange sight. In each box, was a single Weetabix.

In computing, especially in realtime systems, we have what's often called a watchdog timer. It's a sort of latch that triggers an interrupt that then causes things to happen after an elapsed time.
Resetting the timer is a thing. Those of us who like dogs will call this "petting the watchdog."
