How I'd like the AI revolution to go:

- Company lays off employees for AI
- Every developer laid off buys AI subscription, and creates the product that fixes "that one feature" their product/customer needed
- Customers leave Company for small start-up with the fix they need

Dear @SlackHQ I still hate who you handle clicking on notifications, especially when I have a pop-out for the conversation already... bring that pop-out to focus, don't bring the main app, switch workspaces, and then switch active channels... that is dumb. kthxbye

@iamdevloper If they won't tell you the budget, then you have to guess. That is the art of the deal. Always go high, and negotiate down.

What shell are you using?

Deploying k8s using AWS EKS
There is a desire to move teams to AWS accounts to reduce blast radius.

Do I setup each account with a cluster, OR each account just spin up node-groups and add themselves to the main cluster (through transit-gateways)?

@UDOTTRAFFIC your sign about camping was so close to perfect... here's my edit:

The left lane is not a state park, no camping.

The last hold out for my wallet being fully digital (besides a little carry cash) is my @Costco card for pumping gas. They really need to get it into NFC or optical scan.

Why not use their visa? Because I don't do credit cards, plain and simple.

@JordanGundy Scream at them, full volume... Then leave, because you're wife is embarrassed
