I recommend it. Try to go in blind.

Mine looks a little like that. It’s my job though. Everything’s on GitHub.

I used gerrit and zuul a while back at a place that really didn’t want to use GitHub. It worked pretty well but it took a lot of care and maintenance to keep it all ticking along for a bunch of us.

It has a few features I loved that GitHub took years to catch up to. Not sure there’s a moral to this story.

I’m a pretty good engineer. Not the best I’ve ever met by a long shot, but I’m good. But I’m very outgoing for an engineer.

Ironically, that’d describe both my parents too.

I had this one weekend when I was in tenth grade where I did nothing but write code on a fun project. Then I decided I didn’t like writing code. I don’t know why. Kids are weird.

I decided then I couldn’t make it my job. I managed not to program for three years. It turns out I’m bad at everything else. Miserable.

That was 22 years ago. That’s still all I’m good at.

Do folks still use logstash here? Filebeat and ES gets you pretty far. I’ve never been deep in ops land though.

I wonder what my last commit at each job was. I’ll bet it was boring. About 10% of my commit messages are genuinely interesting.

I think the last new instruction the JVM added was invokedynamic like 10 years ago. I believe they did it so lambdas could be called efficiently. Polymorphic incline cache and stuff.

But the JVM has grown more complex in other ways. The way to force simd instructions is pretty wild, for example.

I don’t know enough to call it a mess or not. It works though.

The sky above the port.

Although it was his first day in charge, Sliney had an over-25-year background in air traffic and management in the FAA.
