@cemart7 Do you use any configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, Salt, etc?

This news might make me come out of Twitter retirement — interested to see what changes are to come 👀

[The Verge @verge]

Twitter accepts buyout, giving Elon Musk total control of the company https://t.co/oPwAgAAs6S

[Daniel Raad @danraad]

Given how quick and convenient it is to research certain topics, I think "give it a google" is a major low hanging fruit that society should spend a lot more time plucking.

@maik4l Wanted to see if anyone was paying attention 🤣 sent 🤑

[Daniel Raad @danraad]

This is one of the dangers of relying solely on facial recognition. Who decides when a match is “close enough”?

It's important to acknowledge design problems, especially when teaching. Learners are new to the topic, so they rarely have enough context to analyze designs critically.

Anyway: watch out for systems design. It's the sort of thing that can make you massively succeed or completely fail, independent of how well you write code or run your company, and that's scary. Sometimes you need some boxes and arrows.

No one was ready for full-time distance learning. We’ve yet to see the long-term effects of this unexpected year.

[Daniel Raad @danraad]

That’s just cruel. Imagine thinking you’re getting a bonus and then finding out it’s a phishing “test” and you aren’t actually getting anything.

27. Discipline is superior to motivation. The former can be trained, the latter is fleeting. You won’t be able to accomplish great things if you’re only relying on motivation.

Apple’s electric car is reportedly on track for 2024 production. Elon must be very glad that Tim wasn’t interested in Tesla when he tried to sell it. 👀

"Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification" – Martin H. Fischer

[Daniel Raad @danraad]

We need to acknowledge not only that our ability to respond to change is crucial, but that how well we do it (time, cost, quality, reliability) is often a dimension of our competitiveness.

Focus isn’t just stubbornly saying “I’m going to say no to more things,” it’s studying all the options you have until you can say with conviction, “this is the right one for me."

Weren't airlines claiming they have some of the best air filtration systems a few months ago?

"To assume you’re below average is to admit you’re still learning. You focus on what you need to improve, not your past accomplishments. Many people are so worried about looking good that they never do anything great."

Don’t underestimate the power of bash.

"We’re simply not wired to monitor an ongoing stream of unpredictable communication at the same time that we’re trying to also finish actual work. E-mail introduced this problem of communication-driven distraction, but Slack pushed it to a new extreme."
