2017: year in review
Best year at work yet! # I worked on a project (with a several members of my team) to migrate our apps onto Kubernetes cluster since the beginning of 2017. We’ve been using Kubernetes in production since. Convince and guide other teams to follow our initiative to migrate to Kubernetes. 💸 Significantly reduce our AWS bills with the use of spot instances / spot fleet while maintaining high availability of the system.
A better way to go through terminal command history
In the past, I used to use Ctrl+R to search my terminal command history but it’s unreliable. I couldn’t wrap my head around how it search sometimes.
Thanksfully, I was introduced to fzf and it’s has been a wonderful little gem. The power of fzf is much more than just searching through command history, depends on how creative you are.
The one I show here is just an example of how powerful fzf is.
Traits of a good leader
Found this on HackerNews. Very much on point, though I don’t quite agree with the last item.
You have to have your people’s back, this is the most important thing… be there for them, insulate them from problems and management stupidity and always fight for them.
Lead by example, never ask them to do something you won’t do yourself.
Communicate, I have booked on afternoon a week from 14:00pm till 16:00 and more to just talk with my team and discuss everything from work, to weather, sports, to bitch and moan against the company, etc…
