BREW

Professionally awkward, dangerously mundane.

@Ben_7_Ben I’d say watch Saltburn except I respect you

@MalcolmSheppard @krishnanrohit And yet the people who will undoubtedly vote for Pollievre are the same ones screaming “deport them all” in the comment section of every single 6ixBuzz post

@ayushunleashed Astronomically bad take, you still have time to delete this

How are you going to boycott the Olympics when Gojira put on the most iconic opening of all time?

I don’t understand why energy drinks use athletes for their advertisements and not me—someone with a full day of work whose toddler decided to wake up at 4 AM with the energy of a collapsing star

@thdxr I only order ginger ale on flights and I have no reason as to why

People ask me how I reached an eight-figure net worth after only 5 years in tech:

Year 1 - $65K (1st job)

Year 2 - $72K (asked for raise)

Year 3 - $137K (switched jobs)

Year 4 - $35.67M (lawsuit payout from Google commuter bus hitting me)

Year 5 - $146K (promotion)

How many microservices am I supposed to split my todo app into?

Once again I will repeat: The value of tailwind is not inherently the inline utility classes (though, I am a huge fan), it's the underlying design system and API to access that design system in a common sense and predictable way. It makes doing the right thing easy.

@toddbarriage I’ve been checked out for like 8 months, but I’ve still been following along & so fuckin’ stoked you’re starting to get the recognition you deserved. 100k is just the start

I was in a big data program at college & a prof gave an assignment to spin up a single node Hadoop cluster on EC2. No one but me had cloud experience. The prof told them it wouldn’t cost them anything, but I taught everyone how to set up billing alerts, which went off a day later

A concrete example of how AWS creates friction:

"I want to try Postgres on RDS"

Create an instance, use many of the defaults (including the default security group) and try to connect from a DB client.

Connection times out.

Spend 30 minutes reading the docs, StackOverflow, and more to finally find out that I need to adjust the default security group or create a new one with the appropriate inbound rules.

Nowhere along the process of creating the instance does it say something like "heads up! you won't be able to connect to this instance with the current SG settings".
