This, 100%. I like closing my lid at the end of the day and knowing that when I open it again the following morning it'll resume without a hitch and i'm straight back to where I was.

For slicing and dicing text, nothing is faster. It's a learning curve though. I'm 16 years along the curve and still learning things.

From a recent count I saw, Elon could afford to loose $100B and still be the richest person on the planet.

As an Architect, i'd say my role is more Principal/Staff Eng these days. I spend at least half my week coding (which is great!) Whilst i'm ultimately accountable for the Architecure to c-suite (i.e. ensuring it meets NFR&#x27

I don't perceive an IDE crisis. We've never had it so good! There are multiple options, most of them are "free" and they'll all get the job done. Each of them has their own particular quirks, but I wouldn't des

Curious to know how you thought it effected them negatively. Wondering whether I can see any similar signs…

this is the same in the UK. Childcare costs are abhorrent. As a sample of one, I have twins at ~2yrs old. We pay ~£3,000 per month between private nanny and private nursery. It's literally 2x our mortgage cost.

Wondering what your issues were with Pulumi also? I'm leading the engineering at a startup based in the UK and we actively chose Pulumi over CDK, TF etc.... Been going 12months now and we're really pleased with the decision so far

yep, exactly my experience too. Never had an initial 6 month contract turn out to be "just" 6 months. Shortest duration during my stints was 18 months (2 renewals).

find the strength brother! When my kids are my age, i'll be 80. My father is still going strong so i'm trying to do everything I can to maximise QoL as I age in order to be there for my kids in future.

I spent 8yrs working as a contractor in London for rates between £600 - £950pd. Architecture roles - which to some companies meant spending time coding (yay) and to other companies spending time on non-coding activities; aligning teams, str

I've found that nothing lights a fire under your ass to get yourself into shape quite as much as having kids, especially as I was on the older side when I had mine.

This is a great example, and feel the concept has "clicked" with me because of it. Thank you!

I think what a lot of people forget to mention / misunderstand about LtdCo contracting is that, yes you can choose to draw a small PAYE salary and take little to no dividend and pay next to no tax in a particular tax year, if you so ch

This is great, thanks for your post. Is a cross-region copy and a re-share better than rebuilding the AMI in the new region I wonder? Penny for your thoughts?

Building and maintaining Amazon Machine Images (AMI's), if you need to customise them over the ones Amazon provide. If you have a workload running across n+1 AWS accounts in n+1 AWS regions, then you need to build a production and dist

Sadly, all flavours of UK government have had their grubby mitts on IR35 and failed to do anything meaningful with it. Labour introduced the idea (thanks Gordon Brown), the Lib/Con coalition did a "review" of it and then the

My personal approach, after a decade in such roles - "Everyone owns and is responsible for the Architecture" you're just "Accountable" for it. Let the team drive Architectural decisions - you just ensure the ship to

Seeing my kids (non-identical twins, 2yrs old) playing together now, I can very much believe this. We didn't set out to have two at once, but we're really pleased with how it turned out for us. To the OP - Congratulations. Becomin

Whilst the VPC itself is free, they get you on the NATGW - which you probably need along with the VPC in most cases.

It really depends on how complex your solution is and how AWS savvy your team are. I'd argue that if your team is writing business logic code, it's not going to be a huge time investment to get them up to speed with the various AW

I'm in a very similar position (2 kids under 2) and i've been over-consuming coffee just to feel functional on a daily basis. In order to cut down a bit, i've been mixing decaf with caff when making Cafetiere coffee and it&#x

"Yerba Mate Straw Cancer" are the terms you need. Seems to be quite a bit of noise about it from various places. No idea whether there is any truth to it though.

The saddest thing of all (for me at least) has been the rise of the "tech celebrity" on Twitter and the other social media outlets. For context, i'm generationally Xennial ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X
