Obvious to anyone who's had to look after physical desktops and servers, but probably not to end users. Please be patient with your local IT team as this will take time to sort out. https://t.co/S2Dv3YBZbJ

@kelseyhightower @signalapp I suspect I am not the only user who continuously refreshed their username until they got two digits they liked

K8s is an option for workloads that fit it. That’s not all workloads; that’s probably not all of YOUR workloads. Learning and respecting that boundary is way more valuable than performing an acrobatic display to fit all workloads on your platform of choice.

I see a lot of remote roles for senior developers. But not that many for mid and juniors. Especially juniors.

Is there a reason?

@FamedLoser @SoVeryBritish I doubt I've heard that jingle since the mid 90s but it still crops up as an earworm now and then

@deepblue1990 What? You're telling me you don't trust a chain of email servers with that information?!

Sadly, a common microservices anti-pattern is (a) to have too many services and (b) test those services together.

This approach defeats the purpose of using the microservice architecture to accelerate software delivery.

@deepblue1990 We had quite a kids knock at the door, so I assume you did too. Cleared me out of the mountains of sugar I bought for them (though David helped too)

@deepblue1990 Brilliant movie!

I don't think people realize how cruel it is to tell people to "learn to code". You are basically saying that if you want a comfortable life you have to start saying things like "I think a regex will work here..."

Is that the kind of world you want to live in?

@JackEllis If you have the time to write it up, I'd be really interested to read about your technical journey and decision making process. Thanks Jack
