Unexpectedly enjoyable. Types of interchanges and their efficiency ratings.

The surgeon’s hand is visibly trembling.

The scalpel’s blade glints as it catches the light.

I’m a medical student, scrubbed in on the case. I’m not going into surgery, I know that. I’m here for him.

He glances at me and notices I’m holding my breath.

He grins.

@rothgar Can we get a live stream of the infrastructure team on launch day 😄

[Brandon Potter @BrandonPotter]

@rothgar Was sorta talking about this the other day. For every benefit of a microservices/container boundary, you create at least one more distributed systems problem to solve in your design. Container orchestration is the easy part...

I used to dread Sunday night because it meant on Monday I’d return to a job I didn’t like.

Tomorrow, I’ll fly to Portugal with my wife to speak at a global conference for entrepreneurs.

My weekend has totally summed up software development:

2-3 hrs: setting up Unity scenes / game / VR framework

4 hrs: modeling and texturing objects, mixing audio

Make VR button clickable that seems to be set up the same way as working sample project: 9 hours and counting

🤦‍♂️

I saw this video of Boston Dynamics' testing facility 5 days ago and I'm still thinking about it.

Any place that doesn’t tolerate deep questioning of previously blessed practices or “best practices” is not safe. Get out.

Today the stars of Avengers: Endgame visited the Disneyland Resort to launch Avengers Universe Unites, a charity event that supports The Walt Disney Company's signature philanthropic commitment, Disney Team of Heroes: https://t.co/dc3GnNtplD

While the Docker / container world where we can run many stateless things is amazing, having to solve every problem as a distributed systems problem gets old real quick...

After 3 days with 6 of my 9 grandchildren, all I can say to the cast and creators of #WaltDisneyWorld is congratulations for improving the parks and imagineering brilliantly so that storytelling and technology remain siblings 👏 @DisneyParks @WaltDisneyWorld
