Fiedler posted:great, you've figured out that you want to write developer tools. now immediately go apply for those jobs. worst case is you're not hired and you try again in 6 months. yeah there's a fair amount of these jobs out there. just look up some tools that you've used or thought about using and see if they have a careers page. if they do, apply for one that looks interesting. if you don't get an interview, re-apply in 3 months. if you interview but don't get the job, reapply in 6 months

uncurable mlady posted:imo effective logging and metrics are almost more important than being able to use a debugger if you’re working with distributed systems. this is very true putting in effective logging ahead of time will save you many, many hours of pounding at the problem with your debugger if your system has more than one process that said, the debugger is still a great way to gently caress with the state/force pauses in one node to trigger a failure in another sometimes and ofc if you can boil your problem down to something you can reproduce in a single node then debuggers are great

Corla Plankun posted:(please remember that this is a safe space for terrible programmers when you read my question, im sorry) very often production software is complex enough that you can’t hold every execution path in your head at once, and interactions between components are the source of way more problems than bugs within a single function/class/whatever. integration tests help but you’ll never cover every scenario my top use cases for debuggers: 1) doing things I *could* do with logging, but with a 100x faster turnaround and less info to sift through 2) poking state at runtime to force a failure 3) figuring out what the gently caress type a variable is. mostly in dynamic languages, but sometimes in Java if there’s an interface or inheritance tree that has more than like 2 things in it

Blinkz0rz posted:running it on aws, pumping hundreds of thousands of log-lines per second through it, then losing a node and/or having a shard/shards reallocate if you're getting downtime from that i suspect you are substantially underprovisioned this is one of the problems with es: it's actually pretty good at handling more steady-state load than it really should, then people get surprised when it gets a little bit more load and it falls over, even though they've been redlining it for months. sizing is hard that plus the whole "the jvm gets fucky if you give it too much memory" thing, which effectively limits the size of each node, which is really easy to cut yourself with
