I’m now AFK for the next month! 🎉 I’m planning to do some much needed resting and eating my weight in yummy Christmas food.
After this codeforward conference and govai which was running at the same time, I got a better sense of the wild amount of fomo and hype and llms being pushed on teams without having real agency, and I get the anti-llms reaction by developers a bit more. Also realized, through my new found lenses, how political software development is in companies (which I traumatizingly didn’t realize before), and damn am I glad to not be in this rat race. #llms 1/

Wrote a new little tool to help determine the minimum OPA version needed to evaluate any provided Rego files. Published today as #mcov. I know *I* will use it extensively, but if it's helpful to anyone else, all the better. On that and some other projects I'm involved in my new "December hacks" blog. https://www.eknert.com/blog/december-hacks

Measuring work linearly in hours makes no sense. I get progressively more useless the more hours I work. Those last hours are just really expensive theater that actually hurts people. Makes no sense.

This week on The Changelog we’re joined by Drew DeVault, talking about the Hare programming language. From the website, Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. When we asked Drew why he created it, he said “[because] I wanted it to exist, and it did not exist.” Wise words. We d...

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.

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

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!!!!!!

Wait, NORAD tracks my sleigh? In real-time?! This is outrageous! I never gave permission for this! Goodness gracious, all I want to do is break into your houses and leave gifts relative to how good I think you’ve been, which I’ve been tracking meticulously in my book along with your constant whereabouts and sleeping patterns.

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.
