I'm watching this with great interest. Everyone raving about the M1s is making me wonder about one but only if I could run Linux on it 🤔

This is a really great response!

An ex colleague of mine wrote this pretty great article about cold start reduction for Java https://www.capitalone.com/tech/cloud/aws-lambda-java-tutorial-reduce-cold-starts/

There certainly is - check out https://hire.jvt.me for how I've done it using #Microformats2 (there's a link at the bottom which links out to how it would be parsed). More details at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/05/25/microformats-resume/

Thanks Barry, I appreciate that! Would definitely be interested to hear how other folks approach their own team cultures

You mean source available, not Open Source?

An incident?

Ooh thanks, that helped me! I wasn't sure how to check it was right

I had the pleasure of starting a team together with Shama last September, and the year we worked together was really great.

Shama has been a a really great person to work with, and for. She's helped shape me into a much better engineer, technical lead, mentor and team player.

Something that came up in a quarterly survey would be "does your manager inspire you to do your best work", to which I always answered yes for Shama - she's always helped me believe more in what we're doing, striving to leave things much better than when we found them, and coaching me to achieve my best.

One thing I commented on a number of times over the year working with her, is Shama's pragmatism. Shama's alwaws happy to do the right thing - making the best efforts to clean up a project before starting, making sure we're following best practices - but is also happy to ask questions of i.e. whether it makes sense to spend an extra half day doing some style improvements for a PR's code before it ships to production, or follow-up once it's on its way. It's been really helpful making sure we stay on track at times, and has helped with a number of cross-team working pieces too.

We've recently worked on a very difficult piece of work on some pre-loved software that spans multiple teams, and Shama was awesome - she got stuck in, digging to the bottom of problems, managing the situation really well, and was pivotal with getting us across to the other side!

And mostly, she's been proactive in providing the right feedback, nudging me, and giving me opportunities to grow myself. I've found it to be a great way of helping me focus on ensuring that I can support junior engineers better by being less involved in work, but jumping in when folks needed/wanted my help.

I'm going to miss working with her, and I'd thoroughly recommend others get the chance to work with her. Thanks for a great year together!

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for an interesting thread y'all 🙌🏼

They look like the turrets from Portal

TIL! We've had them before from Costco in the UK, and assumed that cause it was Costco it'd be US 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just to update on this - I'm a maintainer now, it's been released as 1.78 this morning, and I'll see over the coming weeks if there's anything other high-priority to ship 🚀

Have you looked at the repo publishing an iCalendar feed that could be read from Google instead? Or did you need to do things like invites / add non-public data?

https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/01/05/why-content-negotiation/ is my usual recommendation, but isn't always possible, and isn't straightforward to get correct. I've got a handful saved at https://www.jvt.me/tags/versioning/ which may be of interest

Thanks for this - this has solved my problem. Once I validated my card, I was able to execute jobs.

I've got an Ikea Bekant and really like it but since Anna Dodson got her Fully Jarvis I really want one - little things like saved presets + not needing to hold the button make a lot of difference 😅

That's odd - do you both have Monzo current accounts, Ryan?

I really liked it! And as @CharlesBaird put it - it feels a bit like being on Gov.UK with familiar whiteboards and spaces

Given I'm wearing my website t-shirt, there's no way they won't know by the end of the day 😂

Can't remember exactly how much they were but don't think it was quite that much. They are good and have made a fair bit of difference

Anna Dodson and I have an Ergodriven Topo and find it really good - Carol Gilabert has a fancy one too, but I can't remember which one it is

If you run env GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -vvv that'll give you the verbose output you'll need from ssh to do it 👍🏽

I usually go for glances https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/04/26/glances/

This is really interesting, thanks for writing it!

As someone imminently joining Civil Service there's some really good food for thought.

This sounds awesome! I'm not sure I'll be able to make it to DroidCon (as I'm not Mobile focused) but I'd love to hear more about this - is there a recording planned to be released?

Just posted it - https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/10/13/what-learned-sharing-salary-publicly/

I'm slowly moving stuff over to Architect as it's such a wonderful way of getting static stuff alongside multiple Lambdas, with Dynamo and SQS with very little effort. Thanks to Barry Frost for highlighting it to me!

Oh wow! Good find 😁

I got all my wisdom teeth out 6 years ago and I didn't need any recovery time, there was absolutely no pain or anything - 🤞🏽 you are the same!

I think I've seen this before where if you've changed the WordPress URL in config after creating posts, they'll still reference the old ones

Didn't record this in the end - I'm happy writing up a quick post (probably later / tomorrow) to recap it?

Hey folks, just to say that I've got a (pending moderation) request out for me to adopt Job DSL so I can at least help get this over the line, and start looking at the other PRs currently open with the project!

Is the Auth experience something you want to differentiate on? If no, I'd recommend using free tier Okta/Auth0/FusionAuth etc, make sure you wrap it in abstraction so you can move away a little more easily and focus on the rest of your project

Yup on https://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/ they say " For new API users, learn more about the Meetup GraphQL API. RESTful API support will stop in winter 2021." which is great when you can't use the replacement 🙄

Hey @meetup any help with this? Trying to migrate a few projects before you remove the RESTful APIs this winter 😬

Does this include breaking down unethical uses of software by organisations like ICE?

You can give https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator a go ☺

I'd have assumed that ie Android for Work would be good - is that not the case?

Something quite nice that @pascaldoesgo has done with his libraries (at least at work, not checked his personal projects) is have an examples directory under the tests for even more focused examples, and it works really nicely

Netlify is what I always recommend folks do and pair it with a static site generator like Hugo or Eleventy. I run #HomebrewWebsiteClub (https://events.indieweb.org/2021/10/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-P9xE0w648Lqz) as a meetup to get stuck into building your personal website if you're interested ☺

I've got a 3000 kicking about if you fancy it?

Reminds me of https://youtu.be/YbYWhdLO43Q

Doing well thanks ☺ been weird not bumping into you at events and catching up more, how are you?

Woop! Well done on getting up here with all the petrol problems 😅 hope to see you around soon, would be good to catch up!

You moved back?! ☺

Oh Michael I'm so sorry to hear that - sending good vibes. I've never been a good grieved, and when my grandmother died last year I found it odd too.

Take care and reflect on the good times ❤️

Also really bad for accessibility 😳

Haha that makes a lot more sense 😅

If you've already fetched the Git history from the remote you shouldn't need WiFi to rebase any more 🤞🏽
