This time I do know who needs to hear this: Explicitly put your compensation range in the job description/listing. It saves everyone a lot of time. Oh, you're willing to go above that for the 'right' candidate? Then just say that too.

My dad has spent some of his retirement doing hobbyist machine learning projects. He heard the term “data lake” a while back and has taken to calling his datasets a “data swamp.” Feels like a …

Okay assessment done I am fucking EXHAUSTED!!!! He says I get no autism points for my emotive facial expressions and gesticulation (I’m the human emoji after all) but whilst not giving me a definitive diagnosis and I have to wait a week he says there are several areas that speak to an ADS diagnosis Probably the fact I spent the entire two and a half hours staring outside the window whilst waxing lyrical about “I don’t know” or when asked to define specific emotions or “happiness is a lack of sadness I guess?” and “no I find most people irritating” and “I don’t really feel anything at all” when asked to talk about family stuff And I’m going to send him my report from my private assessor :) So fingers crossed I get declared autism Started to shut down at the end so glad that’s over

THEYRE ONE MINUTE LATE THIS IS A TEST They’re obviously not autistic

I know I am otherthinking this Probably because of my Awk-tism

Alright here we go Here we go Here we fucking go One autism please Got my boosters recently so should be all topped up

Assessment step one: arrive to find the reception is never “manned” and I’m supposed to “wait until I’m called” so naturally I’m going more insane by the second wondering at what point should I wander the halls or go back downstairs to reception saying I haven’t been called but also if I leave then maybe they will call me when I’m not there and then I’ll miss my assessment and then I’ll just DIE!!!!!!

Learning my way through AWS Lambda, Serverless Framework, and AWS Step Functions. On a totally unrelated note: remembering my aerospace class in high school where the teacher mentioned it was fun to watch the ultralight trend reimplement and reinvent established practices, and how we'd all probably see similar cycles a few times in our lives.

Zoom Recording Sharing Service We’re distributed by design, which means our company policies and values revolve around how to best work when Elasticians are spread around the world. One consequence of this design is that communication is challenging - getting everyone on the team across 14 time zones on a call regularly is not reasonable. We counter this by taking things async when possible but acknowledge that a synchronous video call has its place. In many ways this is even an advantage, a...

Little harms your professional growth more than being a big fish in a small pond for too long.

I just love waiting 20 minutes (and counting) for #AWS EKS to delete a namespace ... I feel so productive.

I know we’re supposed to forgive people and let stuff go now, because everyone has decided that that’s productive, but in this case: No. Fuck Drew Barrymore forever.

“stop beating yourself up” NO If I did that then I’d have waaaaay more time on my hands and then I’d just beat myself up for not utilising any of it

The neurodivergent nerd instinct to work at startups so the job burns out before you do. Note: I’m fine — or at least operating within normal parameters — it’s just a stray thought.

I just meowed at Tyler as he walked by and he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at me with an expression that says I must have said the most offensive thing imaginable.

Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash. Anyone who says "100% of the time you <merge/rebase/squash>" is wrong and I'm strong in that opinion. I'm asked about this pretty regularly, so I decided to take my copy paste answer I always use and put it in a gist. 🍿 https://gist.github.com/mitchellh/319019b1b8aac9110fcfb1862e0c97fb

Nice post from my boss about why we're giving Basecamp the heave-ho: https://blogs.library.duke.edu/blog/2023/11/30/why-were-dropping-basecamp/.

All set up for Advent of Code tomorrow! https://github.com/mrwilson/advent-of-code-2023 I'll be doing it using jq, but this time I've written a little test framework in rust on top of libjq (called jqunit, obviously) to make it easier to stage out the functionality in later, trickier puzzles. I'll be tooting my progress on here, and posting my solutions each day. #AdventOfCode

I can't emphasize enough to cis people that the term "euphoria" was chosen to translate what transition feels like because there are no other words you will associate with a feeling like this — which you obviously cannot feel. But it is not a superlative. Transitioning is the greatest relief and elation I've ever experienced. There is not a word that contains all of it. I wish I'd never experienced all that torture I didn't know I was enduring, but I wouldn't change a thing. I know things now!
