Про раздел Links
В еженедельном формате я буду публиковать ссылки, которые мне пригодились, в первую очередь чтобы разгребать все, что попадает в мой backlog, но также и делиться с читателями.
Также мне очень нравится подход, которому я научился у американцев, считать неделями. В году ведь всего 52 недели и каждая пронумерована, так довольно прикольно индексировать.

Про редакторы и IDE
Я люблю время от времени тыкать палочкой в различные редакторы и пробовать их в своей работе.
Сейчас появилось очень много интересных и быстрых штук типа Sublime, Atom, LightTable. Ребята из Jetbrains создают отличные (но медленные и прожорливые) IDE типа WebStorm, RubyMine, PyCharm.

Ruby and Smalltalk
Ruby has so much inspiration from the Smalltalk!
Here are my findings:
- Inspect method actually opens an inspector for the object in Smalltalk, Ruby just tries to show object’s guts
- collect, select are methods for collections from the Smalltalk
- do for collection in Smalltalk is the same what’s in Ruby each
- block parameter in «pipes» in Ruby is very similar to Smalltalk
superis calling thesuperclassparent method- initialize is a constructor name for the class in Smalltalk
- keywords concept has slightly different syntax, but the meaning is the same
- « method
- Ruby object.send method = Smaltalk object perform: method
- the self keyword means the same in Smalltalk and Ruby
How to increase Kubernetes PVC size for AWS EBS
It’s quite simple to increase PVC size since K8s 1.11
kubectl describe pvc and find your storage class.
Name: jenkins

My new modern web site stack
In the age of Kubernetes and all this fancy stuff, I decided to make something really simple and as static as possible. The modern, cutting-edge tech stack.
This is a story about https://it-premium.com.ua reincarnation featured with responsiveness and saving all the functionality it had before. Though it wasn’t a simple, but very interesting journey.
Here are the specs I wanted to preserve:
- Multilanguage support, due to Ukrainian language law enforcement we had to introduce one more supported language among English and Russian
- PDF dynamic generation based on what user was chosen
- Dynamic tariff calculations with dependencies on the services of user’s choice
- Easy data management. It shouldn’t be hard to fix some figures by someone else.
- Easy localization management.
The old stack
At first, it was a Ruby on Rails 4.2 application and it used the following gems:
My recent tasks
- Create a Jenkins job for mobile application internal share to the Google Play Store
- Create a Jenkins job for mobile application automated release to the Google Play Store
- Restore Jenkins jobs for the COBOL build with Oracle 11.2 and Sybase 15.5 on the Solaris Sparc, AIX and HP-UX machines
- Debug a performance issue in the distributed power management software.
- Create helm script for the product deployment to the Central K8S cluster into staging and prod namespaces and talk to DynamoDB and put assets to the S3
- Setup Prometheus + Grafana for the performance monitoring
- Setup gradle builds for Java Spring and NodeJS
- Extend XenServer with two new HDDs for a capacity and much more.
Applescript instantly open Zoom link from the iCal calendar
This is really my little timesaver because you know, a lot of meetings happen when you work remotely.
Works best with Alfred 4 using mapped hotkey.
tell application "Calendar"
tell calendar "[email protected]"
set itemLocation to location of first event where its start date ≤ (current date) + 10 * minutes and end date ≥ (current date)
if itemLocation contains "zoom.us" then tell application "Finder" to open location itemLocation
end tell
end tell

The bad thing about Rails is that by default it suggests using own messy design patterns like fat models. I mean all these callbacks in AR, observers and everything that is good for a simple blog but fails for a big application.
You have to use a very little part of Rails to apply DDD concepts.
