Doubt is always present in engineering roles, but has an outsized influence in more senior roles. Doubt lingers.
How you handle it can define how good of a co-worker you are.
I wrote a little more on doubt here: amyunger.com/blog/2021/12/09…

I recently went to #rubyconfmini, and with vaccine, testing, and masking requirements, there have so far been 0 reported positive covid cases after the conference 😎

So 6500 dead migrant workers is fine because they were paid more than a pittance. State homophobia is ok because European colonialism happened. And Infantino understands because he was ginger. FIFA corruption is ok because colonialism. Contemptible man.

LOL. Looking forward to the era of "finding out" that will follow this "fuck around" craze.

"A few tech startup CEOs in my country (non-US) had started saying Elon's methods are fine, site is not going down, what is the problem etc. They were saying with a tight job market, this is how more companies will finally operate and were thinking of following."
Good luck.

When the first engineer said "it depends" for the first time, the complexity broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of tech debt.

Hey. Before Twitter goes away, maybe help me find my hero?
On Dec. 27th, 2020, my husband passed out while driving, and our car crashed at 70mph on I-10 near Jacksonville, FL.
A driver headed the opposite direction saw the crash, exited the interstate, and got back on- 1/6

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready for this, but who knows if my network will still be here next week. I'm putting myself back on the job market.
If you're hiring or intending to hire SRE/Ops/devops/Platform managers in the next few months, I'd love to chat with you!

A week out from @bigbadcon. Here's our COVID report so far:
- 1 person tested positive on Saturday 10/29 (caught on the flight to the con). Quarantined immediately. Used contact tracing to alert attendees.
- 0 cases reported since then.

I'm begging you to not believe CEOs when they tell you you have to work yourself to death
