mind you, I placed this little application in k8s not because I expect to scale out to a level that needs it, but because I expect someone to ask me "how does it scale"? there's a whole category of problems we bring down on ourselves because we're over-anticipating unnecessary "scaling"

I think bit of documentation I just wrote illustrates the complexity burden of Kubernetes nicely. `go run` vs `docker run` vs `kubectl apply` to perform local testing

least expensive high quality meal in Boston at Harvard Business School. I’m content piggybacking on billionaires subsidies for now. Just have to grab the free parking or walk over the bridge. They’ll probably close the building to outsiders once they finish building those Allston apartment towers

yall pass by too many people with two second encounters and you walking with your head down in your phone. spend 30 seconds telling someone TODAY what is happening in their own fucking city. i’ve been out here a week and people don’t know what’s going on in their own town. you don’t either.

seen talk about post Reconstruction starting with President Hayes, and peak Jim Crow with President Wilson, but I haven’t seen much about the counter Civil Rights movements during Nixon. I don’t understand Nixon era, as many programs dismantled by Trump started then. And Biden was there back then

Dodgers have my favorite collection of current ballplayers and I want them to win, but I just can’t call myself a Dodgers “fan”. I’m keeping my Chi Sox hat… a record’s a record 😂

here’s something special. An accordion lead rock song, with a rhythm and bass line reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac “Tusk”, about Damballah, the great loa or god of Haitian voodoo or did Fleetwood Mac incorporate the rhythm into their song via Louisiana creole? open.spotify.com/track/69DolE...

a cli that runs a build tool that wraps docker that builds a container to push to a service abstraction over kubernetes that runs a process which ultimately… makes an HTTP POST to trigger the actual code. I’m over this shit. Give me a systemd unit file please.

I’m not sure what irks me more: the performative vulnerability or the performative empathy (in response). Both make it close to impossible for the genuinely vulnerable and empathetic to be heard, and believed.
