Fundamental no but mechanically yes. GCP is more abstracted IMHO so you are in some areas "higher" level, AWS has lots of super deep stuff like all those policy configurations for IAM, etc. are VERY different. You are already ahead of the game because you are using Terraform and not vendor locked in to something like Cloudformation
How about the reverse of this? Had to let go of 2 people because I do not know how to hire (apparently) as the people I hired looked good on resume, did ok in interview (but I may also be bad at that) but could not really perform the work ("simple" LEMP stack)
I’m curious, what were your interview strategies? What was it like when relatively simple work wasn’t getting done? Was there much communication, clarity, or accountability, or was it more opaque and drawn out without much communication or transparency around what was getting done?
I’ve worked with teams to address those problems in the past, especially in a remote context. It’s really hard, but it’s certainly possible to make it work. In many cases we managed to turn around “bad hires” and get people fairly productive with the right strategies, but it took a lot of work.
I wonder if it could be that with so many layoffs, people are applying to and accepting offers for jobs they don’t actually want out of desperation. Perhaps they’re perfectly capable of the work, but they aren’t engaged because they aren’t where they feel like they should be. No intrinsic motivation, thinking about other jobs (maybe even still searching for other jobs), burned out on being unhappy, etc. That’ll turn down performance for most people.
It’s hard to say! Having a bad time hiring is legitimately tough to deal with. For you, for the other employees, for the people who end up being fired… It can be turned around, though.
Digitalocean Spaces uses Ceph as their backend and it is NOT stable (at least with s3fs), had to migrate away from it and could not do a full-stack on DO (aka "no AWS") and had to swap in Wasabi.
I think this is mostly true but depends on the industry and "critical mass". If you have enough people, then letting people go and then filling in with OT hours (remaining people) is still more cost effective all things being equal (some people may actually welcome the OT hours here and there) and not chronic understaffing
This is most likely what is happening is the shopping website and AWS are now trying to make you create at least 2 accounts and the captchas will start showing after that
Specially for regulated industries and if the company you work for has clients in regulated industries and up the chain of clients. What if somebody steals your laptop with NPI/PII data. As with a lot of things, a lot of stuff only matters when things go bad (like somebody stealing your laptop)
