Professional software developer for the last 16 years or so. Solving more problems than I create. Usually. He/him.

@deniseyu21 Just saw this (3 years later), but this is amazing. I would buy a poster of this. 😃

@rtg0nzalez I realize this is *years* late, but my daughter and I just found https://t.co/lBXB93vzud and it is by far the best explanation I have ever seen of this. It is actually sticking in my brain now after many failed attempts over the years. Thank you!

So apparently if you make a Playstation kids' account, you can never change the online ID until they're 18 even though regular players can do that whenever they want. Is that accurate @AskPlayStation? Seems nuts.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@ouddin Thanks man! Hope all is well with you 🙂

@KaloTheBirb @ShhteveActual @AWSGameTech Relentless 😂

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@b0rk Thanks for this! I've been looking for a new one to try out.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@TheGerardTaylor I realize we don't know each other, but that's really cool man, congratulations! :-)

Is there a domain/DNS equivalent of a network telescope? I have an empty domain fronted by CloudFlare and the visitor breakdown is always fascinating.

@engineering_bae I really liked the bourbon I had from Malahat Spirits in San Diego (no clue how widely available it is though).

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@kvlly 💯 Had a similar thought while job hunting recently. I feel like every job change before this last one increased my salary and decreased my contribution to society. Trying to move back in the right direction, but it’s tough to make that trade sometimes and not everyone can.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@engineering_bae Also grabbed this from a @Werner tweet and keep it on my phone for reference.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@engineering_bae For me what helps is:

- focusing on operations that change relative to how big the input is

- focusing on loops and how deeply they nest or traversals and how many things they touch

- the rest is pretty much noise and ignorable

HTH. Lots of good stuff in this thread.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@laurieontech Probably just good life advice tbh. Inside tech and out.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

I love iTerm on Mac, but it’s very much become Chrome for shells for me. Which of these 26 different SSH sessions was I using again?

[Brent @brentwritescode]

Nothing like that feeling of putting in a bunch of time and effort to optimize a piece of code and then discover that it somehow runs waaaaaaaaaaaay more slowly than the original.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

Granted if I assume the first digit is always 1 I can get my 2 pixels back, but then the clock can only be accurate until May 17, 2033 (i.e. 20000000000 in epoch seconds).

This is probably one of those times the logical engineer in me needs to overtake the engineering purist.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

In my ongoing quest to construct or program a hardware clock to display epoch seconds, I thought https://t.co/tGQoQi93k3 might've been the answer, but the horizontal pixel dimension is too short by 2 pixels. 😭

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@getlametric Any plans to release a 39 pixel wide version? 😅

[Brent @brentwritescode]

@temilaj 💯 The closer you get to a human in the process (especially one you know or knows you), the better.

[Brent @brentwritescode]

Hey @codingcoach_io , I just signed up as a mentor and would love to talk Python/Java/C++, backends & AWS or anything else that interests people at any level.

Thanks for providing a place I can hopefully do that and learn some new stuff myself too! 😃
