apparently abolishing the central bank and switching to the dollar

this comment made me feel the draw of dillusional thought, it felt good to read those fake headlines and I didn’t want it to stop

ok then just use salt water. You’re welcome nerds!

and we’ll dance off both our shoes, singin’ the war crime blues

server serves a protocol on a port. I would rather it not include logic like that. turn off the http port of you don’t want to serve http.

a dev can build a thing, an engineer can build a distributed modular thing with more complexity around non programming parts like infrastructure. Take the thing and design a machine of parts and each can be maintained, observed, and optimized as needed. For example we can use topics for backpressure and consumer lag for auto scaling pods, but then you have to consider the distributed processing for duplication, out of order, throughput… there is no exact line in the sand between dev and engineer but that’s how I think of it.

lots of tutorials in different languages, a base project that you start to rewrite over and over forever whenever you aren’t motivated to do something else. write scripts to start new projects with a readme, git, a logger, and a unit test or two. You should be able to run a command to have a new working project ready to test any new library or idea. don’t be afraid to write code and not use it. writing is the point itself.

SQL scouts credo: I will never use indexes, I will always use column names.

disk is cheap and it’s easier to test exact versions of dependencies. As a user I’d rather not have all my non OS stuff mixed up.

I got pulled in after hearing the term “copyleft”. Red hat 6 was out (version numbering scheme has changed since then). I was a teen and into skateboarding and punk so I was attracted to this legal document that used the system against the system. I became a Linux evangelist to fight back against Steve Ballmer and big bad Microsoft. Felt good to have a glimmer of hope.

I tell myself that I have to forgive myself so I can do better, otherwise I’ll stay upset and have bad reactions. Also think of yourself in third person and see how that person is trying to be better and they need help.

Mineis still downloading at about 600kb per second so it will be a while. I got pathfinder kingmaker super cheap so playing that for a bit.

exactly! it happened this week, it’s ok to talk about it
