@Nextdoor My neighbor read my mind!

It’s been interesting to go back and fix recent perf issues in a #golang project I worked on 5 years ago. On the one hand I’m proud of what we built and how long it lasted but damn did we go overboard on using channels.

@Yellowcard @smackinyc @AcaciaEvans @EastmanStrings @eastmanguitars @smackinyc Seattle show was a blast! My wife (who’s learning violin) made an observation that when you get accompanied by the guitar the violin gets drowned out. I really hope we hear more of you in future (in the direction of Childhood Eyes ep where I think we hear you more).

@Yellowcard @smackinyc @RyanMendez @williamryankey @equalvision This date will be equally special for my now fiancée (soon wife 🙃) and I. Also an early date in our relationship was the last show in Anaheim. Anyway, super excited for the EP and can’t wait to see y’all at the Seattle show!

@IslingtonJames Can’t wait for my copy from @Bookshop_Org to come in!

@IanColdwater You want the big model unless you want to make single servings

[Slava Markeyev @stlava]

@CircleCI could you make it easier and add a UI element to show when a env var was last updated?

[Slava Markeyev @stlava]

@IslingtonJames Super excited to see what you have in store for us. I just made my preorder!

@inancgumus I use “select” but don’t write sql

@antirez We used it @Nextdoor for our primary cache cluster last year until switching clients. While it worked well and I may bring by it back, for us a dumb local cache client and zone aware routing were plenty good.

The best engineers are usually the most outspoken ones. So good luck with making Twitter “hardcore” when you’re also firing talent.

@dsiroker This is the first product in a while that I think did something new, useful, and insanely cool

[Slava Markeyev @stlava]

@Snubs Can't wait for the reunion episode. Hopefully we'll learn she found someone worth it.

Also, I learned while preparing for this talk that we have an official policy that "incident responders are encouraged to expense meals for themselves and family during an incident", which just fucking makes sense once you think about it.
