Comrades, good evening!

I’m writing from Western Europe. The USSR collapsed the year I was born, but I was raised by a father who had a photo of Stalin and a statuette of Dzeržinskij on his bookshelf at home.
So, let’s just say I grew up with the myth of the USSR, especially when it comes to the Great Patriotic War.

I’ve been reflecting on my view of Russia today and wanted to share my questions with you.

In my mind, I see Russia as one of the main enemies of the United States and Western “culture.”
In this context, for me, “enemy” is a positive word.

For this reason, for example, I’ve always justified Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
When I think of Ukraine, the first thing coming to my mind are the nazi banderites.

In a sense, I view today’s Russia with the USSR still in the background.

I wanted to understand if this is a common sentiment, or if I have a distorted view of reality.

So, what's Russia today?

Hi everyone!

I recently started a new role, shifting my focus away from pure software development.
To be honest, it’s a relief: I never felt coding as something fitting for me.

Currently, I’m leaning into SRE and Architecture tasks.
I’ve done similar work in the past with AWS, but now I’m diving deep into Kubernetes.
To give you some context: I’m currently helping design and implement an architecture for processing satellite data.
I have a lot of freedom in both the design phase and the implementation.

In the near future, I will also be responsible for building and managing the observability stack. Since I’m really enjoying this new stuff, I want to improve my theoretical knowledge.
I’m already taking online courses for the practical side (Kubernetes and Helm), but I feel like I'm missing the theory.

I’m looking for book recommendations on:

• System/Architecture Design: I need something that teaches best practices for designing resilient and scalable systems.
• Observability: I’m looking for a book that covers the best practices of observability, not just a manual on some specific tool.

Do you have any "must-reads" for someone in my position? Thanks!

Ciao a tutti!

Ho aderito da qualche mese a Cometa (mettendo il contributo minimo e avendo quindi accesso a quello datoriale) e sto valutando di cambiare comparto, passando da Reddito a Crescita.

Nell'ottica della tanto agognata pensione, per cui mi mancano almeno 30/35 anni di lavoro, credo che passare al comparto Crescita sia la scelta migliore.

Il mio problema è che vorrei tenermi aperta la porta anche al riscatto fra 8 anni per l'eventuale acquisto della casa: non è un obiettivo di primaria importanza, però mi piacerebbe poter usufruire di questa possibilità.

Questo ovviamente cambia le carte in tavola, perché un orizzonte temporale di 8 anni potrebbe non essere il migliore per il comparto Crescita.

Di conseguenza non so cosa fare: non so se correre il rischio e andare comunque nel comparto Crescita oppure se giocare in modo conservativo e restare nel comparto Reddito.

Stavo anche ragionando sul fatto che forse sto sbagliando approccio, nel senso che, con un unico strumento, sto cercando di conciliare due obiettivi completamente diversi, con necessità differenti.
Forse dovrei scegliere un unico obiettivo e agire di conseguenza?
Voi come mi consigliate di muovermi?

Un grazie anticipato a chi risponderà!
