Note

Something cool newer #git versions are doing - you'll now see Reapply instead of Revert Revert ... in commit messages, if you're reverting a revert.

In an older version of Git (i.e. with 2.34.x) you would see:

Revert "Revert "Commit title here""
Revert "Commit title here"
Commit title here

However, in newer versions (i.e. with 2.43.x) you now see:

Reapply "Commit title here"
Revert "Commit title here"
Commit title here

Which makes it a little bit cleaner in your Git log

so I have a new rule of platform engineering if I can't have (with experience) that platform I want set up as a working prototype within the afternoon it's too complicated and yes I'm serious. make. shit. simpler. and give me a single binary I can throw anywhere and just start and do stuff. if you are a cluster, make single instances work out of the box.

stop doing consciousness - brain was never supposed to have "theory of mind" - millions of years development and yet no real world use found for having self-recognition in mirrors - "please transfer internal cognitive states to other organisms by means of sequential tokens obeying grammatical relationships", "I am not a cognitive zombie" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!

We hire virtually everywhere, in every time zone, from Brazil through Ghana to New Zealand. Also Chicago. All-hands is hard to do on the regular with a globally distributed team, so we just do constant field trips with subsets of the team --- NOLA, Paris, Singapore, Boulder, Capetown, Tokyo --- so we can get everybody face-to-face with parts of the team.
