Yeah no. Database server? Sure. SQL server could mean Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server since they all use a varaiant of SQL. Good try, yet so far ...

Coke flight. L to R:
Gingerbread Float, Coke Cinnamon, and Maple Spice Float. Maple Spice was amazing, Cinnamon was delicious and better than the one from a few years back, but Gingerbread was the sad trombone.
Also a pic of a perfect snack.

Decades later, I'm still learning from @SQLHA
More than just HA/DR stuff, I learned about running a business, music, and just living an amazing life

The Dodgers through 5 innings tonight:
Saw 85 pitches
Swung at a total of 6 out of the strike zone.
Was that an inning’s worth of chases by the Phillies against the Mets?
Pretty sure you know that answer

Having a moment where I fully recognize the magnitude of my decisions...
We have many internal discussions between PM and engineering about what we can do, what we should do, and why. Folks may not agree with every decision we make, but we are doing our best.
