@HotpointUK is our new washing machine supposed to have 2x Start Delay buttons? The manual indicates one should read “Dry Only” - is this by design?

I am seriously doubting the competence of this company, and ability to deliver on anything when you need to call support 3 times to postpone an installation and each time they have no clue about the previous booking. Such a waste of my time. @Hyperoptic #hyperoptic

[Dino Fizzotti @dinofizz]

@HyperopticCS I call to postpone an install orig for today and agent booked a new date. Recvd text to say orig install going ahead. Called again and they can see I called prev. but can’t see the new booking. Furious. Postponed again. Guess what tech calls today me he’s on his way

Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day. Biggest crash in history.

I have a barcode debugging story.

I was working at tier-1 supplier to an auto maker. Our customer started complaining that they couldn't read some of the labels on parts we were sending them. Can you see the problem?

Alex made the mistake of trying to be neater and now she can't find anything.

My mother started this quilt 20 years ago, and just finished it today. I can't imagine spending 2 decades working on one project like this.

I remember boxes of fabric strewn about like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

She had a vision.

It's extraordinary.

An update to an earlier 2019 post, I have created a walk-through on how to setup and run a man-in-the-middle proxy on a Raspberry Pi 4 (not too many differences, most things have stayed the same thankfully). https://t.co/GizORLibD0

What many sw engineers don't realize:

The majority of jobs do not hire you to write the highest quality code or produce the cleanest architecture.

They hire you to solve their business problems very efficiently. Sometimes this means high-quality code. Sometimes not at all.

@alexrbarlow This person is frequently reprioritized to feature work when deadlines loom. Business thinks “Hmm we’re behind on X and there’s a whole extra person just floating around!” The position needs to be protected really well, and hopefully has a champion which can make the ROI visible.

@RameezKhanSA Epic, where is this?

What happens when you make an http request in #go?

res, _ := http.Get("https://t.co/0jOniCE9wG")
io.Copy(io.Discard, res.Body)

Below is a sneak peak my new function call tracer for Go🕵🏻‍♂️. Note time spent on TLS / Cert Loading.

Want to know the secret to blogging more often?

Lower your standards!

A post which you don't think is ready yet is a LOT better than a giant folder full of drafts that no-one ever gets to see

(Your readers won't ever know how good the thing you wanted to write would have been)

@ashtonshudson Yeah rust looks interesting too. I was just really drawn to Go’s simplicity. It seemed a lot easier to learn, especially if you’re already familiar with other c-style languages and have some familiarity with pointers.

Continuing my exploration of Go, Kubernetes, NATS and Cassandra: I built a sitemapper CLI tool & extended this to work as a distributed crawl engine using Kubernetes Jobs.

@ashtonshudson I ❤️ Go! It has a really small “surface area” of keywords, great std library, amazing concurrency primitives. Compiles to a native binary, and can compile to different cpu architectures and OS’s. I also love that idiomatic Go code is flat, simple and biased towards readability.
