Yesterday’s Friday 13th proved to be a lucky day for me as I became a Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD).
For those not familiar with Kubernetes (K8s), it’s the most popular and advanced platform for cloud deployments. It’s been initially developed by Google, and is used in nearly every mature cloud these days.
It also runs our once.to URL shortener, by the way.
Kubernetes is an awesome platform: powerful, flexible, and — last but not least — open-source.
But back to the certification: as always, there are nuances, which I’d like to share with you, hopefully they can be of use.
A little less than a year ago, on 22 May 2020, I released the first public version of MPD client with the strange name Ymuse.
These days we’re at a 100 stars on GitHub and 270 active weekly users of the snap package only!

The yesterday’s event has been a success in my opinion!
I’ve had a great time, and the turn-out was even larger than expected.
Reminder for those who have signed up for the event: tomorrow, 21 November I will present about Hugo and the cool things you can make with it.
So if you’re interested how websites like Let’s Encrypt, 1Password Support, or this one are built, do stop by.
Anyone who has been in the software development business for a while, is certainly familiar with the hassle of arranging, keeping track of, pulling, committing etc. of dozens of local Git repositories being used or developed.
My current project makes use of the MySQL database, which runs in a Docker container.
At a certain moment connecting to the database became excruciatingly slow, taking tens of seconds to establish a single connection. After that everything would work as expected.
The application opens a connection some hundred times, so the startup time had become really unacceptable.
I’ve spent a lot of time hunting that down, and then even more time looking for a solution as I failed to find any on StackOverflow. But finally I’ve solved this.
