For those on platform or DevOps teams, what does your planning process look like?

We have no problem writing docs and roadmaps for product features, but it doesn’t always feel like it aligns with the rest of the business.

Do you have Product Design Docs? Technical design docs? Quarterly roadmaps? Or is it mostly just tickets? Curious how other teams handle it.

I feel like every time I try to do structured planning it just gets blown up in numerous ways.

I’ve been back and forth on opening a self-service cold plunge/sauna spot with my background in SWE to write software to also sell to enable others to do something similar and my biggest hold up is a lack of knowledge around building out a “retail” space. ChatGPT keeps telling me it’d cost hundreds of thousands to build out some simple rooms and simple rinse showers.

Can anyone explain the costs around building out a space a little better? Are estimates really that high?

I’ve got a griddle that I love but it always feels like a hassle to cook on with all of the cleaning and prep. How do you make it easy?

Is it possible to just get wood at Home Depot or do I have to go somewhere special to purchase it?

I guess galvinized nails too?

Is it a waste if I only build a 4x4x8 ft tall sauna in my basement or will I still get the benefits?

Is there a preferred sauna heater brand for 220v? The prices with a controller seem all over the place, for hum it was like $2k.

I’m (32m) looking to start my stack to supplement my fitness and weight loss journey.

I just had a blood test and the Dr wants me to start taking vitamin D as well, and it seems like the consensus is D3+k2 (3000 is what she said).

It seems like there’s just so much going on, I’m struggling to keep track of not only what to get but even where to get it. Apparently Thorne has sold out now and is no lo

It seems to be installed correctly, it’s just ~20 years old, only done halfway up the wall in some places.

Do I tear this out for the purple R-7.5 or do I leave it and just frame it out?

My network closet is going to be under my stairs, can I just add some ducting and connect the cabinet to my houses return or is there more to attempting this to prevent the return from filling the network closet with the warmer air?

Hey all, I’m looking to surprise my wife. Right now she has a small, fake Kate spade wallet that holds a few cards. What would be a good step up for a wallet to swap between her purses?

What’s your lineup tomorrow to clinch the playoff spot? Do you bring in Greene or Lodolo on short rest?

Do something a bit odd and mix your starters for short innings or put it in Singers hands with his 14-11 record?

It feels like we don't get anything close to $13,500/mo in value out of AWS Enterprise Support but maybe I'm just cynical.

We pay an exorbitant amount of money to get 10 minute response times on downtime chats every few months; to run into obscure issues and then be met with generally slow support or problems. We get access to experts sometimes but it just never feels like we really get the value out of it.

How do y'all feel about Enterprise Support?
