don't join an incident if you arent sober. there is only one exception: the company will not exist tomorrow, and you disclose your intoxication when contacted. dont argue bac or number of drinks or grams of weed. this is common sense. #devops #duh

fantastic user engagement! the timer is imposing; the action the user takes is clearly rewarded. together, everyone feels an accomplishment. everyone is pulled closer to the community, or into it for the 1st! you can make engagement transactional and rewarding without begging for it! #ux #dev

What are things you really like about Windsurf? And what do you dislike / stuff that could be better? And how has it changed how you code / build software? (Asking as I'd like to get a more well-rounded view: will be later talking with the Windsurf team. Feel free to DM also)

I’ll just be asking my dog the most unanswerable existential questions all day long like “are you the best boy?” and “how did you get so scruffy?” and “what are these little teefies for?” and then wonder why he needs to sleep 17 hours a day

I just wrote a piece called "In Praise of 'Normal' Engineers". (partly paywalled) When people talk about world-class engineering orgs, they usually have in mind orgs that are top-heavy with the most experienced and pedigured talent. This gets it exactly backwards. refactoring.fm/p/in-praise-...

if you think monitoring your own code is "for the devops team" and logging is the first tool in your own prod debugging toolbag... you probably also believe "its qa's job to test." listen: you are the problem. work harder, or go do something else. please. you are not an engineer. #devops #dev

Excellent news! If you do nothing different, your AWS bill will be 10% lower for February than January. No need to thank me, it’s what I do.
