Banking regulations prevent you from assuming more debt than you can payback. In software, there are no regulations. You will bankrupt your systems by continuing to take on more technical debt.

I’m a huge fan of infrastructure as code! I’ve use CloudFormation and Terraform the most but my favorites are quickly becoming CDK and Pulumi. Code vs configuration is more enjoyable to me.

My friend @mattjmorrison once told our team: "If it's hard, do it early and do it often" I've said this so many times since 2013 that I'm sure my colleagues are tired of hearing me say it. Doing it often (manually), especially if it's hard, will lead to the desire to automate.

The first step in embracing DevOps: Source control Being able to version changes to your system, peer review, and built in notes for changes is huge. Don’t worry about automated deploys. Just ssh to the server and clone the changes.

CVE-2019-5021 reveals official `alpine` docker images since :3.3 had a NULL for the root user password. cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvenam… This is a great reminder that Google distroless base images help you build images without a shell & smaller than alpine. github.com/GoogleContainerTo…

One of the Principal Engineer tenets here is "Respect What Came Before." Principal Engineers are grateful to our predecessors. We appreciate the value of working systems and the lessons they embody. We understand that many problems are not essentially new.
Some of the biggest mistakes I have made as an engineer come down to not treating legacy code with the respect it deserves. These days I make a point of calling it "legendary code" instead.
