@kellabyte They way we implemented it was, at ingest each event gets assigned a tracing id. That tracing id is stored and it’s known where that data should go. When received at the desired destination(s) that trace id is marked as delivered. If not there is an automated replay from DR

@awilkinson After 20 years in engineering, I realized that Tech is the easy part. It involves machines, and they are predictable. You get exactly what you tell the system to do.
Sales, marketing, and management are all problematic parts as they involve humans, and humans are unpredictable.

@setheliot (I always used that for “Bazel” but it also works here)

@setheliot What resonates the most to “Bringing an 18-wheeler to go grocery shopping for a carton of milk“?

@NicheSiteLady I’m on the same boat with USD -> CAD

How do you do the exchange itself? Through the bank while transfering or you tranfer all in $ then use an exchange bureau? I found bureaus having MUCH better rate especially for larger amounts.

@JamesonCamp I have been using the Pomodoro technique to do exactly that.
I (used to) estimate the amount of Pomodoros a particular task would take at the beggining of the day, then measure the actual amount it took and compare the two. It helped me to get better at estimations.

@NicheSiteLady You don’t need to reveal either. Your content is your credibility.
Although it would be useful to provide examples unrelated to yours.

@ashleyabright @dvassallo Indeed.

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@ashleyabright @dvassallo Thanks for the response, Ashley. After trying many apps and tools coming to realizing that plain pen and paper does it the best.

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@ashleyabright @dvassallo How do you keep track of the daily small chunks and progress? Recently trying to re-evaluate mine, so I would appreciate any input.

@sil @jesslynnrose @DanielNewns @MegaSlippers Nothing beats writing with a fountain pen. I also started with Lamy Safari and moved up to Faber-Castell Ambition with pear wood handle 👌
Been going back and forth between Notion and Pen & Paper. The feeling of actually writing something is incredible.

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@davidwalshblog Faber-Castell has some nice pens. Ambition series come variety of wooden bodies. The pear wood ones are 👌 Writing, thinking and brain-storming with it is very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

@arvidkahl Beacuse people like yourself are.

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@gjohnson391 Indeed. I want more pictures please 🙏

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@LenaSesardic It will indeed be educational.

@lesleychestrman They want the immigrants to be gone too.

I was very happy for Nik when I heard he started his own thing.
I enjoyed reading his journey.

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@nkotov @atomizedhq Great piece, Nick. Thanks for sharing it.

[Majid Fatémian @majidfn]

@searchbound Thanks for sharing this, Peter. Very motivational.

@BobLovesData For me the paper has been the golden ticket as you put it. Immigrant, international student in 🇨🇦, working in 🇺🇸. Without the degrees, it would have been IMPOSSIBLE for me. But someone who had a bit of better luck in their place of birth, I don’t think the degree will change much
