Kubernetes is extremely well designed.

>> I just started writing a summary of our standups and told them they didnt have to do it individually any more, >> it was appreciated and mgmt still get the info they need.

I'm skeptical that management would need a daily status.

My approach is to learn the stack (read books, sketch/prototype).

Get the team to whiteboard the architecture with you. This is better than existing documentation because you will get the full commentary and start building a mental model of the software.

Ask the team about problem areas.

Don't push on major stack/architecture changes until you know the stack/architecture.

Make sure the base engineering practices are there. You should have a seamless workflow from pre-merge code reviews, testing, and deploy.

This is a fantastic book-- but it's hardly news. It was released in 2015.

The + operation is evaluated first, and + coerces nulls to zeros. This looks like:

(null + null) === 0

(0) === 0

true
