Green tea (maybe others) has l-theanine which takes away the jittery feeling/anxiety of caffeine. Might be why. I really like caffeine + ltheanine pills.

I'm burning through something like 10-20 usbc cords a year. It's outrageous. I'm buying Ankers and "good" brands too. My car has ubsc to usbc and android auto and it used to be a p…

I mean this is literally all stuff you could have done prior to 2020 and I guarantee you would have had a more enjoyable time doing all of this in 2019. Since you're new to CO I ho…

As someone who has dealt with depression their entire life it's really something to start to see people who have never, ever dealt with it begin to try to compartmentalize their li…

This is what an SRE actually is to me, but not to G. Google seems to think they need to create SREs out of SWEs. It took me far, far longer to learn distsys, network engineering, s…

I mean Google could stop being completely elitist with SREs needing to come from SWE backgrounds and hire the thousands of SRE/Sysadmin/Ops types who do know systems very well but …

In my experience, Alice moves on to a cool new project to greenfield while Betsy gets stuck supporting Alices creation until they eventually get on-call burnout and quit. Alice che…

You still get those questions because you’re a shitty developer interviewing at shitty development shops. That’s it. Nobody gives one fuck that you’re a boomer, you just act like o…

Oh of course you did, my point was more that you got those questions but also a lot of your peers continued asking those stupid questions. I remember when I was hired after getting…

It’s important to the schools to generate income and whatever weird rivalry keeps people going. If you aren’t in a rural town sports players are probably a tiny, tiny percentage of…

This is very far off from my millennial experience 1; I’m a 34yo millennial, 2; my siblings are ~40ish yo gen-xers, 3; my parents are 65yo boomers. My genx siblings all bought mass…

I'm late but can't edit, if anyones curious I just found a great article on it; https://itnext.io/getting-started-with-pulumi-sdk-22dc0b7ab8...

Well there's a decent chance you're going to be working for millennial and gen-X'ers nowadays. We're the ones who were hiding all our online lives (still) from our parents. I'm gla…

This is neat. I really want to make some sort of sre/distsys/ops training ground to go through a mixture of systems design and operational skills (troubleshooting, observability, f…

You might really like pulumi. I'm kind of on the opposite end, ops>swe so tons of IAC and i'm using pulumi now as I'm more swe focused https://www.pulumi.com/ (ive no relation to t…

Don't forget to send often marginalized people through as well!
