My point really wasn't about discussing grey-area NDA stuff in an interview or with my family. It was about contributing upstream, publishing my research, and interacting with the communities of projects that we use as components of ou

This is still hugely frustrating to the people working on it. I build high pressure distsys architecture and I've worked on some incredibly cool bleeding edge tech that nobody will ever hear about and I can't even put on my resume

Losing the ability to rent PC games when I was about 8 rocked my world. I'll never forget the last game I ever rented, SimTown. Going to that rental store was almost as exciting as walking through a computer expo.

I had a linkedin birthday pop up with a buddy I used to go to lunch with every day about 2 jobs ago. We'd hop into either of our cars and just go bitch about work together for an hour and eat cheese burgers. I loathe being in most open

I feel like everyone in my remote company is a total stranger and it's the strangest feeling waking up every day and working with total strangers. Feels like every project I have to prove myself and it's been making my impostor sy

Oh trust me I know totally what you mean, I'm usually the first ops person hired at a startup once they've gotten the budget for one. My goal when I work with devs is to get as much of the infrastructure frustration out of their w

You're using S3 for the first time. Twilio has the capability to hire Ops staff that have used S3 for 10+ years. Throw a penny down the street in any major city and you'll hit a DevOps person with AWS experience. It's amazing

I did a pickup order a few weeks ago when of all things Tmobile SMS went down for 3+ hours. I couldn't go in the restaurant (covid) and I couldn't text them the parking # I was sitting at in a packed parking lot. I got a flood of

Every company rushes to report an outage when they can blame another vendor, well that might be hyperbolic but it's sure a lot easier!

I went to an Allergy clinic in a hospital and just got the entire test where they prick sample sites into your back (it doesn't hurt at all). I don't have my paper near me but I hit something like 80-85% of the allergens they test

I started my career in 2008. Millennials had to go where the jobs where, and they weren't in low COL areas. Hopefully covid opens up the market for far more remote work. I'm remote now, finally, but in a high COL area, which feels

I'm not sure what you're trying to really portend here but this is a huge, huge part of that article considering it's almost the entirety of the current working class parents; Sixty-eight percent of adults 70 and older are mo

I mostly follow people who work in/around my specific engineering niche and it's amazing for that and really the only way that I stay in contact with them. It's a lot like reddit, you can stick with the terrible default subre

Could anyone recommend an easy/good way to quickly mass unfollow a ton of accounts based on the sort of things they post? Is there anything I can use that will just unfollow all the political accounts, or checkmarks or anything like th

Have you been allergy tested? I found out last year (midway into my 30s) that I'm actually allergic to half the foods my mom used to prepare for me. Like tomatoes/nightshade fruits. I would always get itchy, confused and generally

In all honesty they're typically just banking on people not noticing it and are trying to make it as little of a fuss as possible and get it up before it gets to twitter. The problem is when it's not just a small blip and they hav

Meditation helped me out with my ADHD way, way more than I expected. It took about a month of daily 10-20 minute practice but it gave me this control over my racing thoughts and shiny distractions that felt completely foreign to me. Like oh

I greatly appreciate this, as someone who has had a very difficult time avoiding distractions (slack, email, meetings, etc) and tries to convey that I need time to not context switch constantly. I know I'm not the only one because othe

Yeah I actually stopped doing water cooling (usually Corsair AIOs) this year and went with this HSF just for ease of complexity, not that I ever had any problems with my AIOs. I should note it's WAY louder than I thought it'd be a

I admined slack long long before it had any Enterprise bolts so I'm sure it has stuff like that now. Teams makes it front and center so you can track your employees interactions and chats, calls (not emails like I thought). https:&#x2

Ok now that I'm reading I'm wondering if I'm wrong, but I'm seeing some posts about it having an idle tracker and that lurkfromhome website exists which is what really solidified my decision. I'm looking around more

I learned that Teams has idle reporting recently. Now I don't trust any of these collaboration apps.

It's very common if you're not at some big FAANG or group that is in all the partner groups (CNCF, etc) and pays to get tickets every year. I do this a lot for a few foss projects I contribute to because even though I'm alway

Wow that's interesting. This makes total sense as to why you can't change URLs then (which I just posted my use case needs), I suppose to maintain provenance on the original documentation. I hadn't considered that.

There's a style of management I encounter still that is very unsupportive of it's employees. Untrusting, thinking they're always out to leave just to make more money. It's interesting because the engineers I know tend to

I spent most of my career with what I now consider abusive bosses. I didn't even start to realize it until I lucked into a few good bosses. You go through that for years and you become so anxious about asking for things, taking vacatio
