Cloud architect. I like containers, openstack, terraform, ansible, and black espresso.
I am not speaking officially on behalf of my employer, everything I say is as a private individual.

@damsdri that may be possible in some cases, but a lot of times there will be less fluidity between the different environments. For example, at a company that publishes internal apps for its employees, there will often be a separate URL to go through the dev environment.
@hillsy open source is a peculiar system. Idealistic volunteers are not enough on their own. For a project to go critical, I think it takes companies who view an open source alternative to their competition as an advantage, and hire professional development teams to contribute.
Open source software, like all software, requires certain types of work less likely to be done by individual contributors. Documentation and bug fixing for example. Individual volunteer contributors are more likely to build new features.
@archiloque case in point, windows!
@hillsy sometimes those proprietary tools started off as open source.
@lwpembleton in my experience, the risk of losing something to a laptop hardware failure outweighs the latency concerns. And as a bonus, remote development can scale :)
@jan I think we play the same opening word, but I’m far less ambitious and had too many viable options for the second word so I took two extra tries
@jan how are you making that graphic?
@archiloque i’m missing context… Which movie?
@bagder often, the person with an urgent need for help is not the person who can get money spent. Those two may rarely speak.
