Senior technical leadership across AI/ML, data, and Platform Engineering in general - for SaaS companies large and small.

Been enjoying my AI morning briefings from @gethuxe - but it's pretty jarring how the speakers flip-flop between mostly-US accents to randomly-heavy-Aussie accent for a few sentences, then onto a generic-light-NZ accent, and back to US. 😂

@rowansimpson That's note _entirely_ fair...
they also have a lovely sketch of a train! </s> 😆

In May 2022, 5,000+ #DevOps professionals shared details about their teams and practices, and the results are in! Check out @GitLab's #DevSecOps Survey here. Interesting read for my DevOps mates 👍 https://t.co/lQHEz4Twrm

@seancresswell We've had Google but wouldn't recommend. Now have TP-Link Deco (there are various models). Not as flash/feature-rich as Ubiquiti but works well for us.

We're hiring again!🤖 Looking for another .Net engineer to join our Platform team. Do you understand cloud infrastructure, love writing solid code, R&D'ing new platforms & services, supporting other devs, etc? ➡️https://t.co/BoTwWxC1nC

Screen bug update: the 🐜 has (I think) expired and wedged itself near the middle of my monitor. Annoyance factor; a solid 7/10. #bugreport

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@DeeMickSee

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

Now *this* is an annoying bug. 😫

Yes. It's behind the glass, and won't sit still. 🐜🤬

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@Arowin Bug update: Good news; it’s stopped running around. Bad news; it’s sitting right in the middle of the screen. 😐

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@Arowin At this rate I might "accidentally" and rapidly disassemble the monitor. Wonder if ants are covered by warranty? 😬

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@MartyCatherall I've tried recompiling, no change 🤔

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

Why in the name of all that is holy is this still a thing?! #nopaywave 🤬

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@nzscoff @Arowin @Timely Just coming up with the next iteration of platform architecture to keep up with this incessantly growing business 😁

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@rowansimpson Off the top of my head, or more accurately "the way I'd do it" is using Azure Event hub, and Stream Analytics job(s) for the analysis/alerting.

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

Just a few days until applications close for our Database Specialist role here @Timely! Help us to take our #azure #sql platform to the next level of scale and performance, as we (continue to) take over the world of salon management & booking software! 🚀https://t.co/5uDFMx19DE

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

@Arowin Yes. *points and nods knowingly*

[David Curlewis @databasedave]

It's interesting to compare the shape of the COVID-19 economic recovery in different regions. This is data on bookings being made in the @timely appointment software platform.
