    When a thing seals itself against its own destruction, it merely dies a different death.

I can map most of the list but I can't recall what would be the "review environment setup" What did you mean by that?

Any recommendations on a rowing machine?

Came into this thread looking for a mention of Steve Mann! Man was ahead of his time. More on his 'Visual Filter' and more here http://www.wearcam.org/ieeecomputer/r2025.htm

This sounds fascinating and absolutely alien to me, a Python dev. Any good books or other sources to learn more you can recommend?

I apologize this is not directly related to OP, but if you, like myself, get mad at all the "Suggested" posts LinkedIn is pushing on you, you can use the following ublock filter to get rid of these posts:

    www.linkedin.com##:xpath(//span[text()="Suggested"]//ancestor::div/div[contains(@data-id, "activity")])

Combined with carefully managing who I actually follow, it made it for a much more pleasant experience.

> whereas managers are seen as useful in different domains, giving them practical mobility

And this is exactly my problem with becoming a manager. You become fungible, easily replaceable, movable and fire-able.

I worked for a medium size company that served, and still is, ~150 clients (some Fortune 500 included) by deploying prod with docker-compose. It can be done.

> the QA env was not actually setup to mirror the production env

As senior QA, this alone is going to end me one day.

> Is the ansible vault password in the repo too?

No no, this is one of those secrets we share among the team and save to KeePass or whatever.

We use Fernet[1] or Ansible vault[2] with the encrypted secrets committed to the code repositories, but I guess we can do that because the code is not public.

The rest we share over a secure, company approved, channel, and save them into local KeePass-es (KeePassXC)

There is also Red Hat and SUSE. And I am pretty sure smaller companies like that exist too. I started my career in just one like that!

The already mentioned The Pragmatic Programmer, 20th Anniversary Edition is so far the best I have read. It's not overly specific to one single thing, it tries to teaches general principles and good practice.[1]

I also have a personal recommendation for when you want to better understand testing, QA, or want to/have to work with QA people. [2]

Trying to service, or even just open up, any appliance at a workplace is against the Occupational Safety and Health regulations in my country.
