write a blog post about the static mirror system
I found this post to be pretty interesting. I wish I could write about some fancy new high-tech system we've built in TPA that's the cutting edge of technology, but the reality is that we're a hodgepodge collection of legacy systems we're keeping alive by a wise combination of "if it ain't broken don't fix it" and "okay, this is too horrible, let's fix that tiny piece", migrating one system at a time toward modernity.
The static mirror system is an excellent example of this. When I arrived, it was mostly built from shell servers and... Jenkins, which was hard to use and generally disliked. We migrated to GitLab and built a shim to avoid having to replace the entire system. That handful of servers is pumping out gigabits per second, it's easy to deploy and scale out (although that could be made easier).
This is mostly summarizing and glorifying the docs I've already written in the service docs.
This would be, therefore, an interesting blog post on its own, but I think it could also serve as great advertisement for the job posting (tpo/tpa/team#41542).
