In my last installment on porting a huge mess of java spaghetti without comments or even a readme into python, my boss gave the go-ahead to spend time on it as it's critical for business files. Today it's not worth the time. I mean that happens sure, but at least don't be mad at me for giving time estimates that might be accurate (or at least not overly optimistic). This working at a startup poo poo-show in general is getting to me. Business needs are made up on a whim, then changed on another whim. Our partner in France is either incompetent, doesn't make enough from our business for us to be worth their time or both. Today, after asking in writing about an assignment, my boss put it in writing that he found me provoking. The silver lining I guess is that I can keep it, show it to his boss and say: "This poo poo is why I'm out".

What's the rationale for porting from Java to Python?

redleader posted:There's AWS in Plain English. I agree that AWS names are meaningless, but many of these are somehow worse. Like, S3=>"Amazon Unlimited FTP Server" is loving crazy. VPC=>"Amazon Virtual Colocated Rack" is confusing. Lambda=>"AWS App Scripts" is sort of OK in that "App Scripts" seems equally meaningless. RDS=>"Amazon SQL" is terrible. Etc.

Handsome Wife posted:Are you dead-set on using Cosmos? It is expensive but there are other options for hosted DBs on Azure. The "basic" tier Azure SQL instance is like $5/month, and if you need a document store you could use something like this to get Mongo running on Azure. Oh no I'm not like IT HAS TO BE COSMOS, I'd prefer MongoDB tbh. I didn't realize you could install it on Azure. Is it just as pricey to run though?

Munkeymon posted:This applies equally to AWS, FYI. You're probably just used to it because you've been using it long enough, but we just started using it recently and it's not that straightforward. I'm thinking specifically about a ten minute discussion we had about which storage option was right for a new workload I was going to saddle a service with. Much of that was synchronizing knowledge about what the various options are supposed to be for.

You could even spin up a Mongo Docker container on an Azure Container Instance, but the pricing on that is more complicated to figure out. If you look something like image I linked to from the Azure Marketplace, you can spin up a basic VM with 20 GB of disk space for ~$14/month.

That's sounds reasonable if it's only available in the local network where the application lives

I think it’s just that integration with a lot of services is them hitting your public endpoint, so it’s tough to develop and test that integration on a local machine.

That's almost like a parody of the software industry in 2018. I have no idea what all of these moving parts do, how they work, or what third-party services they use so it's best to just expose it all to the internet so it "just works".

To be fair, I think they reasonably assume anyone running a weird NAT punchthrough HTTP proxy development tool will ensure they isolated from the real internal corporate network.

Today in "bugs that should have taken 15 minutes instead of three hours", Chicken Wing spends a long rear end time trying to figure out why hibernate isn't persisting an object to the DB despite every possible combination of .save(), .persist(), and .flush(). After furiously combing google, even more furiously combing through library code, and roping in the local hibernate guru, he says "hey maybe I should check the DAO that's throwing the error instead of the DAO that's 'not saving the object'"code:

My belief is that relations are not objects, so if you're using an ORM to manage things in a way that lets you treat relations as objects, you'd better be getting some really powerful magic to make up for the pain you'll experience at the parts where things don't quite match up.
