The last 9 months have been wild. Eng advisor -> interim head of engineering -> wrapping up first week as the permanent head of eng.

Back in edtech, where I pretty much belong lol.
Now focused on research-validated literacy software for K-8 students. living the dream.

after watching this video (https://t.co/jZ1SwbcqLf), I am now inspired to build a custom circuitboard for my smart mirror.

@RealMamaEagle Nah, no blocks here. I’m here for the celebration - you one of the most real fans I know of any sport team.

@hinotesnharmony My deepest condolences 🙏🏾

Somehow, I now have two network racks in my office (my closet is height and depth limited, so I can't use a single 42U and call it a day).

plus side, LACP over multiple 10Gbps links is proving very useful for NAS access to multiple clients.

Time for a new blog post?

[Jayson J Phillips @_jjphillips]

@hicksca_ I did. Ended up ordering some parts.

@hicksca_ Framing up some blog posts about this journey, happy to share notes

3 day weekends are good for building an in-house machine learning lab.

[Jayson J Phillips @_jjphillips]

@hicksca_ Oh, might need to look into this

@juiceboxheroic Happy birthday!!!!

But *if* you do, or you see that as you grow/mature your product, or using these tools allow you to invest in other areas that help you best meet your business needs, go live in the clouds!

Just because it works for one product/workload, doesn’t mean it works for all.

[Jayson J Phillips @_jjphillips]

As with most things, the question on what your software needs (on-demand compute, virtual compute, containerized workloads, dedicated resources, bare metal, etc) is always about *the right tool for the job*.

[Jayson J Phillips @_jjphillips]

Some will say, “don’t start out with [insert cloud compute], it’s overkill”. It *can* be overkill. If you don’t have PMF with a global user base, maybe you don’t need the overhead of S3, global CDNs, and edge services.

I also hate the pompous idea that everyone is poor at delivering features just because we are using different programming languages that sometimes enable us to tackle our largest or most problematic customers and workloads a little easier.
