@johnkonrad One time we were steaming into a narrow channel in the Bahamas on a small craft (20m sportfish). Had some drunk guests on board, and one guy all the sudden runs to the starboard railing and dives over.

My dad (captain, I was mate) put him on a plane back to the states that night

Customer service matters. @Delta & @airfrance cancelled my flight out of CDG last night because crew over hours. Delta didn't auto-rebook me. I'm stuck in Paris, out of pocket for hotels & different flight home. @Chase SR no help either. Will be canceling both when back in USA.

@editingemily Sigh, I guess.

Don't waste your money on the @Chase #Sapphire reserve. They'll leave you stranded in Paris and expect you to get yourself home out of pocket when your flight cancels.

@gordonbrander What if intelligence is maladaptive on an evolutionary scale?

a lot of our problems [as an industry] , technical & emotional, would be solved if more people knew Erlang.

“Did you have tests?”

Yes! As always the integration was unit tested with all possible API behaviours *at the time of building the integration*.

“Could have you not failed closed vs failing open?”

Of course we should have. It’s the morale of the story from consumer side.

@johnkonrad Ha have you ever seen what an interstate does to the groundwater nearby?

[Spencer Pitman @AlcesBull]

@kaseyklimes These are less distinct in production engineering/design disciplines outside of software

[Spencer Pitman @AlcesBull]

Might as well tweet something this year I guess.

@kaseyklimes @gordonbrander Aspen if you’ve got $3-5mil for a studio.

Come visit my area of Denver sometime. I’ve been surprised. Only drive like once a week, even during winter (to the ski hill). It’s not euro or NYC but a lot better than I was dreading.

[Spencer Pitman @AlcesBull]

@WFG_DEN Rock solid facility to visit!
