I’d get in the car and start driving. I’d go and have the conversation I’ve been afraid to have for years
… or I’d be paralyzed with fear like I’ve been for the rest of my life.
… or if I’m being honest, I’d most likely grab a bottle of tequila, fall off the wagon, and find out what I actually want to do that way.
I go with New personally, though I don’t subscribe to all that much - I imagine that it would be a bit less pleasant if you’re on a hundred different communities.
About 15 years on, I’m still so happy I got good coursework marks for the route-finding equivalent of a bogosort. Picked a bunch of random routes and pick the fastest. Sure, that guy who set up a neural net to figure it out did well, but mine didn’t take days of training, and still did about as well in the same sort of execution time.
Aah, DevOps as a separate role… Now that’s a dream I can get behind…
Is this a surprise? User retention is hard, and I’d expect this to hit even harder as time goes by. It’ll keep going up until the point where user growth matches attrition and I’d guess in the early days of a social platform, it’s going to take a while for background growth to increase that much and attrition will be pretty high given the lack of attachment.
That’s 102 stars more than my best… Nicely done :)
I really want the Vim/VS Code one - as someone who professionally devs in an MS stack, but would choose Vim as a primary text editor otherwise… it speaks to me deeply.
Up until now I’ve been using docker and mostly manually configuring by dumping docker compose files in /opt/whatever and calling it a day. Portainer is running, but I mainly use it for monitoring and occasionally admin tasks. Yesterday though, I spun up machine number 3 and I’m strongly considering setting up something better for provisioning/config. After it’s all set up right, it’s never been a big problem, but there are a couple of bits of initial with that are a bit of a pain (mostly hooking up wireguard, which I use as a tunnel for remote admin and off-site reverse proxying.
Salt is probably the strongest contender for me, though that’s just because I’ve got a bit of experience with it.
I’ll get QA to update the test plan
Accidentally hitting reply-to-all on a company wide email and more or less stating that I wanted to be transferred to another team.
There was a new team forming elsewhere, and in fairness, it was a great opportunity in a lot of ways. But… I didn’t get the transfer until another batch of jobs opened a few months later.
That… was a long few months.
