Clojurians Log v2

Yeah, definitely. I'm in Hobart, away for the rest of this week, so how about next week sometime? Tuesday lunch time? I'm free most of the week if that doesn't work.

I'm cheating, in that I'm contracting out to the company I worked for in the UK before moving out here.

Cool. Actually on holiday next week. How about the Tuesday 8th Nov. Salamanca suit? I'm flexible.

> Morning.. I woudnt mind working with clojure.. maybe we should start a project? Actually I'm working with a friend on a side-project that uses Clojure. Maybe you're interested in joining?

Afternoon all. I hate azure. That’s my day summed up

The only one of the big 3 I don't hate. Purely down to not having used it mind you.

Sure, what’s it all about?

Unfortunately I'm off to the mainland for 5 weeks on the weekend of the 5th. We should definitely do this in the new year though.

Would suggest not trying it. You’ll hate it faster than the others.

You’re using websockets in an app service? Azure decides to handle all the control frames itself and won’t close the connection properly

Just constant MITM crap that we keep stumbling on, and takes weeks to figure out what we’re doing wrong

oh yea, the company I work for spends I think $500k on Azure annually. When really we can, in theory, go with something like Linode and spend 1/10th

Also, we stay away from App services, worker roles etc. It's easy enough to just use plain VMs isn't it?

It's a type of Language Learning Platform Similar to iTalki, HelloTalk, etc

To a point, but I wanted decent CD without reinventing the wheel

Docker + CircleCI/Harness/GithubActions/etc + VM is not reinventing the wheel, is it?

The last part is, when the app service has automated deployment/replacement from a docker registry

Plus https wrapping and other things like that which were really fast to get off the ground

(Yes I know nginx exists, but this was still quicker than having to spend time on the infra as a solo dev)

Anyways, it’s not just limited to the app service. Almost everything in the azure ecosystem has some weird catch or thing it’s doing they don’t describe

> The last part is, when the app service has automated deployment/replacement from a docker registry Yea I suppose, if it just works

Yeah, there are a lot of pitfalls in Azure. For instance, some things you can change after creation, but other things, you can't

Have you tried other providers like AWS or Google Cloud?

We're moving to aws at the moment

Ah ok

Ah well. 2021 works for me!

Cool, been using duo lingo for quite a while, and old friend and I thought of doing something similar.
