The production environment was so badly managed a disruption was less an incident and more a bout of feng shui.

10 USD donation to #AdventOfCode is just over 8 British Pounds. Much more worthwhile than a blue tick box.

I do miss the endless chaining of methods in ruby calories = totals.sort_by {|k, v| v}.reverse[0..2].to_h.values.sum #day1 #AdventOfCode

Anyone know of a sample MySQL/PostgreSQL Database schema with unoptimised queries / no indexes etc suitable for a junior to play with and view the result of changes? Feels like something that should already exist

Never thought of "If your log has a duration then it's a span" as an approach before.

Just been reminded that the job titles "Senior Lead" and "Senior Principal" exist here and now I hate everything again. Thanks @tomnatt

Saying "It depends" without giving any indication on what factors you think it depends on, or would be useful to know and discuss, is something that irks me way more than it probably should. Help move the conversation along

Such a shame to hear about the passing of @RealKevinConroy the voice of Batman for many of us. Every bit as distinctive and important as Bales growl. I'm so glad he got to play him in person in Crisis on infinite earths in the arrow verse.

When you're financially struggling being able to juggle bills, don't pay this one this month, pay it next month and don't pay that other one instead, is one of the few flexibilities available to you. Prepay or no service kills that. Should people need to do it? No. Do they? Yes

I love Google Meet because it lets me see who's already joined, so when I'm low on people energy I can avoid being sat with someone I don't know attempting to make awkward small talk for 3 minutes.
