At my workplace, we use it for East-West traffic, especially the central Identity, Authentication and Authorization service which every other service needs to access, and it works great for that use case (Since it allows the downstream services to fetch information however they like). REST can do that too, but it will be cumbersome to say the least. Although GraphQL performance has come under scrutiny lately.

Yes that’s good advice. Thanks.

Which keyboard is it in the first picture?

I feel if I’m switching things often, even trying out a distro and going back to PopOS, ansible should save time in the long run. Plus, I can make my ansible yaml configs install software depending on the distro and package manager, right? I’m learning ansible as I go.

Do you know a good beginner friendly tutorial for NixOS, I could try it in a VM first.

I just want it to get to a usable state pretty quick on a new distro, and also to go back quickly to pop-os if I don’t like the new stuff. That’s why trying out ansible for this.

Elixir is such a beautifully designed language, my favorite language BY FAR.

(I want an Elixir job too 🥹 )

Sometimes #6 happens right after I press enter asking my teammate for help on the issue. The universe humbles me like that every other day…

Your friends who are treated like crap, are they in a company where software is the main product, or in a company where software is a support department (and their actually money earner is some other product/service)?

For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.

For work I use macOS because forced.

Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife’s Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!

For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.

Linux all the way!
