I think if people understood just how much one can suffer without dying they would be more careful with the things that dont necessarily lead to death.

Our sidekiq workers had a bit of trouble and weren’t processing jobs which resulted in no posts from other instances being processed for a couple of days. The realisation of “oh, I guess that would be one of us that needs to fix that” was fun 😅 Gone are the days of just hoping an engineer in the SRE team at Big Social Media Company will wake up and fix it. #MastoAdmin

It baffles me a bit that companies are still using "unforeseen circumstances" as a reason for layoffs or hiring freezes. After a year of watching other companies do the same, at what point is it no longer considered "unforeseen"?

Being an ex-GDSer is weird because you bristle when anyone criticises GDS and you bristle when anyone is too complimentary about GDS. If you ever leave GDS, prepare for a lifetime of bristling.

This is actually viral. I have never worked for GDS but use a lot of GDS-developed stuff in my work and I also bristle when people criticise it but also bristle when people are too complimentary about GDS - probably for completely different reasons to anyone who has worked there

Having ADHD does not give you carte blanche to be nothing and do nothing. Weaponized that shit. Monetize it. Make it pay rent if it wants to hang around all day. Put it to work. It’s not a disorder; it’s an indentured servant. Go full Landlord Mode on it.

One of the biggest enigmas of ADHD is how quickly your brain can get overwhelmed with the idea of work. All of the possibilities collected into one massive, undoable task. It makes everything and anything feel impossible to even start.

I know I've been *that* person on more than one occasion. But I think it's been really hard to try to be a part of something this year where many tech people have a high opinion of themselves. The number of times I've been asked "why can't we do this with containers?"

As GDS has a reputation for being an exemplar then there is a belief that the processes and technology choices are, in some way "right". Challenging assumptions in an organisation that believes itself to be "right" causes conflict.

My thinking was that GDS would be a learning organisation, or at least one willing to listen. Some parts did. Many parts did not. This had consequences. Technical consequences and "need to refactor" consequences. I realised I had only enough energy for limited fights.

GDS has also got some really good people in leadership trying to navigate some difficult waters. The product side of GDS is really solid. The tech side though has some challenges.
