Well, let's say that you have 2 physical locations, 10 racks each, and a cloud provider, the OS, the networking equipment, the smart PDUs, the iDRAC and firmware, kernel (reboot), containers, VMware hosts/vsphere, Openshift, a few windows boxes because why not, database, apache, and all the downstream. A "high" CVE has 3 weeks to be fixed.
How do your teams minimize the amount of time spent patching? It is an enormous time sink for our devops teams, even using industry-standard open source software basically everywhere.
EFS is... surprisingly cheap, as long as you don’t need heavy sustained IO for more than a few hours at a time. Great for a simple file store and some big data purposes.
We're hiring for around 17 Senior or Principal level software engineers, and we don't have any stupid tests. We are Rally Software, in Broomfield, CO. Now we're owned by Broadcom.
It's certainly not bad. The stock is fantastic, my annual bonus can be over 20%. So, with healthcare, unlimited PTO, an onsite gym and cafeteria, etc, it's not a bad deal at all.
Yes, the housing in the immediate area is expensive (Boulder County, CO), but there are many more affordable places to live within commuting distance.
I'm in Arvada and have been doing web dev a long time but don't tick some of those boxes, specifically have never worked in Java. Pretty much just PHP and its frameworks. Do you think I should bother applying?
I would take a look at all the jobs on our board in Broomfield, CO. Not all are Java or Full stack. We write the job descriptions for ideal candidates, but we are specifically looking for Sr/Principal level engineers, and will pay accordingly (10-15 years experience).
Revolvers are absolutely more popular in areas where ammunition capacity is restricted. 7 round .357 is a great option in areas where there is a 10 round max for magazines.
Places out east (NY, NJ) have extremely low limits for capacity, both in effect and proposed. When ammunition capacity is reduced, there is an incentive to go for a (typically) more reliable revolver. Many people would rather have say a 7-shot 357 S&W wheelgun vs a 9-round (maximum) semi-auto magazine.
I ankle-carried a .357 snub for most of my life, and it literally weighed less than the 5 rounds that it held.

In case anyone isn't reading between the lines:
The chief advantage of a more complicated, less reliable, more expensive semi-auto handgun is its larger capacity in a smaller profile. A semi-auto packs rounds tightly together rather than having an effective chamber around each one.
But if you don't actually get more rounds, might as well opt for a revolver like the parent.
