It's only unhealthy for your career at that specific employer. Fortunately for tech workers in the Western hemisphere, you can always move between employers

Promotions are for schmucks. One can easily get a promotion from the free market when their boss refuses to give it to them

For running applications in production, Alpine Linux is harmful and should be avoided. Getting a smaller container image is not worth trading mucl for glibc.

To a Docker outsider, to me this implies that Alpine for testing and non-Alpine for production is not harmful. Is that right? Wasn't having a unified environment half the point of using Docker? Doesn't two different base systems just open you up to a load of headaches? If so, then isn't it more of a "Alpine Linux as a Docker base is harmful" situation?

He was referring to sandboxing in terms of not polluting the installed packages/libraries on the server and not from a security perspective. But even from a security perspective, there are solutions to this problem like running containers as an unprivileged user using podman.

The utility of an air fryer. If you don't have one, you should buy one immediately. You will not regret it.

What you're using it for? I have one laying around the house, but I don't use it often. Would love to start using it more..

This is why GCP has no hope of ever taking significant market share from AWS. Google thinks they can treat their cloud customers like they treat users of their free services. Customer support and communication are essential.

As if something like this has never happened to AWS?

"like this" -- a failure of the service, or a failure of communication and customer support?

Remember that time S3 went down and the only updates were on Twitter because the status page was hosted on S3?

Yes. When the AWS status page failed to accurately inform their customers for several hours, AWS used Twitter to ensure that there was communication with their customers.

What exactly is your point?

The S3 outage duration was only 4 hours.

I don't. But thanks for sharing, that's hilarious (for an unaffected person at least :D)

Lol, is this real? If so, hilarious.

Not effecting all regions no.

I'm not sure about the market share, but I agree with the last two sentences.

...and I'm a happy GCP customer.

Yet another JavaScript project reinventing the wheel and badly at that. It seems the NodeJS community suffers from NIH syndrome more than others. This is a sign of lack of seniors and leadership.
