@me_sagar_utekar @outofofficedaku Any advice here? Already 2 rejections so what would be the chances of a 3rd rejection and any long term impact on visa history?

@rutu_3 I have seen it on some government websites. Right click is disabled and i guess they bind the shortcut keys to void() or something. Not sure but have seen it happen. For console also they did something weird. I can try to find it if you are interested

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@burcs Wait what? It looked so good. I was a bit busy yesterday and couldn't really explore the page properly and today its gone. I liked the design y'all keep trying something fresh and brave

I had to build a Slack alert system on my first day on a new job. I really felt helpless and tried to do more and more instead of asking for help. This was 3 years ago, and I wasn't a senior yet. This really hit home and reminded me of the transition period and the ramp up.

new post: the senior engineer death spiral

https://t.co/xzgU1jVBRh

a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

Canada: BC, Alberta, NWT, and Manitoba are staying on permanent daylight time from 1 November. This is going to break a lot of systems around the world. I did a small write-up on how time zones work in different languages and runtimes. https://t.co/BOzvkljQDm

@arpit_bhayani Sounds like inspired by the Disjoin Set Union data structure. Though I don't really get the full rebuild. Compression would work well if it is similar to DSU but maybe it's different enough that it requires a rebuild

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@VicVijayakumar Lmao i had built something similar for our database lol. Neo4j had a memory bug and enterprise support said give it 64gb of ram. I built a watcher that restarted any pods with >80% mem usage outside of business hours

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@zenorocha Blog post coming soon on why and how?

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@mattzcarey Yeah i had claude clean up 260gb once. 180 of it just from cargo clean. Man I really wish rust ecosystem wasn't so bad

Spent a couple of months on multi-region routing for our AU and US Kubernetes clusters. The interesting bit is that Cloudflare Workers runtime lets you swap the origin a request goes to while keeping the original Host header intact. Wrote up a blog post: https://t.co/zDSVYT2DL1

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@ChShersh Ricemaxxing lol

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@dinasaur_404 @Cloudflare Can't wait for the release

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@Hi_Mrinal You can check this out. MIT lab for building RAFT with a goldmine of test suite. https://t.co/6TsXp2KJIp

@BenjDicken Showing up everyday consistently beats the let me optimise this and grind it out. Def better than burning out and quitting entirely

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@sameenkarim Maybe allow naming the stacks rather than showing Stack #174. Could get very confusing when you have a bunch of them

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@bluewmist Yep definitely. Sending that cold dm or publishing that blog is infinitely hard. But life begins at the edge of the comfort zone

[Vatsal Patel @vatsal_64]

@damian_b This one is on my list. Have heard the test suite is a gold mine. Will be doing this one after finishing the sql database i am working on currently
