Hello, I’m interested in an engineering position using these languages. Is going fully remote possible for engineers or is this option only for designers?

Thank you so much for your kind words. We've linked to this thread in our internal slack channel and I know this kind of feedback means a lot to the team. We're really excited about creating useful, approachable content, and hearing about how it has helped others is great encouragement.
I want to second the praise of DOs tutorial pages. I used to use stack overflow for all my tutorial needs, but I'll always pick DO when I can. Just in case you doubt their value - It's a big part of why I use DO for my hosting needs and recommend you guys to others.
I applied for a community role at Digital Ocean and got a generic "background doesn't match" response. Would be great to chat to a real person about if I might fit another role better or what I should focus on if I want to apply again in the future :)
I love Kipling, especially his more humorous work. Case in point:
I go to concert, party, ball --
What profit is in these?
I sit alone against the wall
And strive to look at ease.
The incense that is mine by right
They burn before her shrine;
And that's because I'm seventeen
And She is forty-nine.
I cannot check my girlish blush,
My color comes and goes;
I redden to my finger-tips,
And sometimes to my nose.
But She is white where white should be,
And red where red should shine.
The blush that flies at seventeen
Is fixed at forty-nine.
I wish I had Her constant cheek;
I wish that I could sing
All sorts of funny little songs,
Not quite the proper thing.
I'm very gauche and very shy,
Her jokes aren't in my line;
And, worst of all, I'm seventeen
While She is forty-nine.
The young men come, the young men go
Each pink and white and neat,
She's older than their mothers, but
They grovel at Her feet.
They walk beside Her 'rickshaw wheels --
None ever walk by mine;
And that's because I'm seventeen
And She is foty-nine.
She rides with half a dozen men,
(She calls them "boys" and "mashers")
I trot along the Mall alone;
My prettiest frocks and sashes
Don't help to fill my programme-card,
And vainly I repine
From ten to two A.M. Ah me!
Would I were forty-nine!
She calls me "darling," "pet," and "dear,"
And "sweet retiring maid."
I'm always at the back, I know,
She puts me in the shade.
She introduces me to men,
"Cast" lovers, I opine,
For sixty takes to seventeen,
Nineteen to foty-nine.
But even She must older grow
And end Her dancing days,
She can't go on forever so
At concerts, balls and plays.
One ray of priceless hope I see
Before my footsteps shine;
Just think, that She'll be eighty-one
When I am forty-nine.
I love this poem. It's also one of my favorites. As a non-religious person, the poem inspires me to always look for hope, no matter what. Thanks for posting!
Oh cool - that's a neat program you folks have going! This might be a good excuse to dig into this for myself, rather than hoping someone else does it for me :)
This was useful, as I couldn't figure out how to add the cloud-config files I use for my Vagrant-base CoreOS cluster.
Here's another question:
If I have a droplet up and running already, anyone know how I might change it from Ubuntu to the new CoreOS image? I'd rather change it than create a new one to maintain the same public IP, or else I have to have my DNS records updated, which takes time, and is outside my direct control.
CoreOS is not a drop-in replacement for Ubuntu; migrating to it requires re-deploying your services inside Docker containers. I would think you might want to run your service implementations in parallel and then cut over later.
Can you not move IP's between Digitalocean droplets?
Similarly, I created a new coreos droplet just to play around, neglected to add the cloud_config yaml configuration. I couldn't find a setting to add it to the droplet afterwards.
Semantically, cloud-config is really not something you can add after. cloud-config comes from Ubuntu, but the semantics are a virtual clone of the ones of AWS's cfn-init; the point of both is to inject your config during initial instance bring-up, when system config files are first being generated by the instance provisioner. You can't really run them again once you've already brought up the instance, since they'd just messily trample over their previously spewed configs without removing the previous ones first.
With cloud-config, you're basically expected to be using ephemeral (or nearly-so) instances, particularly within the context of an autoscaling group or equivalent. The lifecycle is supposed to go "[scale up], provision, configure, start services; [crash or scale down], terminate, repeat." CoreOS adds to this soft reboots for upgrades, but definitely still assumes cattle, not snowflake, instances.
