The [Flock] camera’s logs also show the camera struggling with storage. Its logs recorded more than 27,000 “no space left on device” errors while trying to save full-resolution images, along with tens of thousands of related errors, crashes, and reboots. At the same time, about every two minutes, code checked that the camera was still running and logged the message, “Who’s a good boy?!” More than 12,000 of those messages appear in the recovered logs.

When the camera did restart, another service left a final message in the logs: “A reboot was requested! ¡Adios Amigos!”

May your stupid debug messages never appear in an investigative journalism article. 😌

#Programming #DevLife

I'm finally working on my first microservices project of my career, and so far most design decisions have been aimed at centralization (monorepo, central GraphQL API).

I'm starting to believe microservices sounds good in theory but has absolutely no business being implemented in its purest form.

Also the Make command to build the local Docker environment can take up to 15 minutes to run on a M1 Macbook Pro. And because the environment uses an AWS token that expires every day, the command needs to be ran every day you may be working on the project. This is such an incomprehensible waste to me, have I already reached the end of my career in software development?

#DevLife #Programming

For several months now I've been the only one left working on a project at work and for several months deployments issues on this project have increased. Coincidence? I think not. Since I'm the only one left programming, there hasn't been any meaningful code review for a few months either. It's not enough to have another pair of eyeballs looking at your code if they aren't familiar with it.

Still feels bad to have end users bear the brunt of this though.

I love feature removal tasks, it feels very Mary Kondo-ish.
