25 year old me is looking in horror as I read explain output and seem to understand what is going on. 25 year old me did not like the internals of databases that much. Hence, running for stuff like MongoDB.

Happily, postgres is approachable and pretty tolerant these days, and even a poor, ignorant distributed application engineer like me can figure out what's going on with queries and do some voodoo to make things fast. PG loves memory. Load all your indexes into memory.

For the lovers of infrastructure, here's a bit of whimsy "Kubernetes the Hard Way: Compute on the Cheap With Longhorn, Tinc and friends: 4 part series" daviddawson.me/guide/kuberne… Will drop the articles every week for the next month, probably on a Friday.

After several years of absence from social media, blogging, conferences and user groups, I've got a fair few things back in the pipeline over the net 6 months. App design, event systems, Kubernetes, Kafka, NodeJS, JVM, Groovy and some soldering. Looking forward to it!

Hey @SamsungMobile The latest security patch (October 18) has broken bluetooth/ BLE. Stuff won't connect in the background any more. As a T1 diabetic, I was using my phone to monitor my blood sugar, guess what I can't do any more?
