And yet, I still love computers.

<sarcastic, joke, maybe..> JOB OPENING NOBODY EXPECTS THE JOB OPENING. Role: Take some of my building and maintaining work, because if you ain't first, you're last, and I'm tired of being both. Looking for: Me. Also acceptable: a shrubbery, a man with a duck on his head, or anyone willing to look me dead in the eye and say "shake and bake" without breaking character. Also, Me, but younger, hungrier, and contractually obligated to laugh at my jokes. Cloning is on the table if anyone has a friend in biotech. Pay: With all due respect, almost none now, maybe when this blows up?. I pay in exposure, experience, and the warm feeling you get when the build finally goes green. If you require currency, we have a coconut you can bang together. Benefits: Learn things. Real things. The kind of things that make you go "well, that's not supposed to do that, is it." Hands on tech. You will touch the server. The server will touch you back. This is the circle of life. the GPUs prefer cool temps so dont touch them. Shape the future. The future is mostly on fire right now, so honestly any shape would be an improvement. Unlimited Monsters and bourbon, because I wanna go fast and I cannot do that sober and hydrated. Free access to an existential crisis, brought on weekly by the standup we don't have. Location: HackHaus. In person. No remote. Remote is a myth, like the Knights Who Say Ni, or a 40 hour week. Open desk: The Fantail Patio. The cigar patio. The bourbon lounge. The place where, at approximately 11pm last Tuesday, someone said "help me Jesus, help me Tom Cruise" out loud during a code review and we all just nodded. (we meaning me, myself and I) Humor: Dry. Sarcastic. Pythonesque. If I tell you production is down and you respond with "tis but a scratch," you are halfway through the interview. If you can deliver "this parrot is no more, it has ceased to be, it is an ex parrot" while pointing at a crashed Kubernetes pod, you are hired and also, frankly, a little scary. Disqualifiers: You think you're first. You don't know what to do with your hands. You enjoy meetings. You were expecting a Spanish Inquisition joke earlier and are now disappointed it was the opening line. Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and disappointment. Our two chief weapons are surprise, disappointment, and a ruthless commitment to the bit. How to apply: Pigeon, since the parrot is now an ex parrot?

I gotta say this is probably one of the worst possible takes I’ve seen in the subject. Imagine saying “poor people aren’t smart enough to cook” 😂 Nobody is forced to door dash, Taylor. It’s a convenience. I grew up dirt poor and we went out to eat maybe once a month. 🤷‍♂️

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10 years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored). If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update! I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it. Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

Another #nix convert @leothrix

copying path ‘/nix/store’ until the end of days it feels like 😒 #weekendhomelabhacking

👀

Long live the Warthog.

Even the @usairforce can’t kill the A-10

Up to 4 nix flakes checked in at $day_job repos. Preaching the good news and making converts one repo at a time…

Love my X1 carbon for lightweight computing, but I'm regularly OOM'ing these days between nix builds and too many agents doing too many things at once... 😅

Less than a year ago, the Air Force unveiled a new PT test with a two mile run. Airmen took to social media to complain how the new increased length would cause injuries. This weekend, an Air Force Colonel, more than likely in their mid to late 40s, ran 5 miles up a mountain to escape the enemy. Running matters. You should do more of it.

Hey @EricVictorino you sold me a strata album out front of the big easy in Boise Idaho in 2004 for $5 when yall were van life, touring with chevelle and crossfade. You came back the next year and I got the shirt. Spawn0 just found it and has acquired it.

We’ve reached a point where so few people know a veteran or active service member that that there is zero desire to understand what real sacrifice looks like. Everytime a financial podcast drops with a veteran on it, people rush to scream “fraud.” But, according to the VA Office of the Inspector General, the fraud rate with disability claims is less than 1%. There are a multitude of conditions that are not physically visible: Traumatic Brain Injury, burn pit exposure, PTSD, gastrointestinal issues, etc that veterans deal with every day. America just came out of the longest war in our history. Medical testing has gotten better. Documentation of medical issues has gotten better. You can’t ask America’s sons and daughters to go to war, and then turn your back on them when it’s time to take care of them.

WHOOPS! We made too many Moka Pots ☕ If we don’t move them by Friday, we’re legally obligated to open a cafe. Enter JAVA at checkout to claim your FREE gift! We even might throw some free coffee in there, too. If it arrives in holiday wrapping, no it didn’t! checkout.sentry.shop/product…

We're throwing an event in Boise, but Idaho anyone there. Do you? More of that, and some actually good content expected. It's my first event in an eSports arena. Gonna be epic! Come hang out! luma.com/j16efhuy

Fantastic read, thanks Tyler! Also, cosign.
