Week Notes 23#41

• Had a nice Tuesday evening at Canal House with Tulio, Tushar, Danillo and Lewis, catching up after many years, and nice to see everyone
  • Was cool to hear my blog posts are still solving problems for the org 🤓
• Morph came in the living room for a bit on Saturday night while Cookie had a chew, which was nice, but didn't really get much cuddles
• A last-minute three day weekend as my parents were going to come up on Friday, but then didn't get a chance to as the weather was pretty naff. Had a good catch up on the phone instead
• Thinking of setting up my NAS again - largely after listening to The beginning of the end of physical media - and because there's a few programmes that I can't watch easily any more, but that I've ripped from DVDs
• Announced the upcoming v2 release for oapi-codegen, and finalised the code changes - looking forward to having it live, and getting a blog post out about some of the things we've done to reduce the sprawl of the dependencies
• Making steps towards a 4 day week, with my day off being for Open Source 👀🤑
• Worked on an interesting piece of work looking at vCluster and how we can use it to reduce the number of EKS clusters we're using
• Got Chapati Junction for the first time in ages and it was very good 😋
• Had a good call with OpsLevel to demo their platform for incident management, and to get an idea of what I'd need to do to integrate DMD into it
• Almost applied to YCombinator - for no reason other than seeing someone post about it being the deadline that day. I say almost, I considered it and didn't because I couldn't be arsed to even look at the application form, let alone spend precious executive function on it
• But I did make some good progress on some work towards setting up the infrastructure for dependency-management-data at work
• Had a couple of post-surgery checkups for Cookie, and she got the all clear from the vets
  • But she's had to have her ring on today to stop her from licking too much where she had surgery 😅
• Feeling much better about my talk at TechMids this coming Friday
  • Listened to my article version of the talk on a walk on Saturday as a way to refresh the content in my head and work out what's needing updates, which fortunately didn't need too much changing, just a few things adding for what I've shipped since then 👏🏼
  • Made a couple of tweaks to the accompanying blog post, and need to make a couple of tweaks to the slides and do some run-throughs but looking forward to it
• Had a contribution to one of my (much smaller) projects as part of Hacktoberfest, which was very unexpected!
• We've put the heating on for the first time this autumn, it's been very chilly this weekend
• Saw OpenSauced's app went live so set up my user account and played around with a few dashboards for oapi-codegen
• Had a nice post during the week about my talk at DDD
• Got approval to post my on-call compensation so glad to have that live, and it got cross-posted to Hacker News but didn't do very well (which is fair, it's not that spicy)
• Been a bit out-of-sync with our Goustos this week with me not around on Tuesday, and then having Chapati Junction for our Friday night (which was Thursday)
• Didn't finish Wordle on Tuesday 😭 My first missed game in > 400 days!
• Had a bit of a catch-up with Gareth, and looking forward for another one this coming week
• Unions came up a lot this week with folks I was talking to 👀
• Lost internet on Wednesday during my only meeting of the day 😅 Very annoying but luckily wasn't back too long after
• Hit 9999+ articles in my Wallabag "to read" list 🫠
• Blogumented renovate-graph and Renovate's local platform, which ended up flagging a couple of issues, and was a bit slow to write as I ended up choosing a rather large repo to test with 😅 Also was a bit overwhelmed trying to post it, but also wanting the bug reports raised upstream too
• Went for a Sunday Roast today at The Railway, Lowdham 😋
• Morph's food arrived and as I was filling up his container with it, he was meowing at the door of the conservatory to be let in 😹
• Spent some time looking at how to get the version of the Go compiler used by a given binary blogumented, and spent some time doing the same for Rust, but it looks like there's no way to check with Rust, at least without digging into .debug_info

Played:

• Apex Legends as usual
  • Had a tonne of frustrating crashes with Apex yesterday
• Bowser's Fury, completing the story mode and then done a bit of the extra stars, but not bothered about getting 100% as I've already done that before

Watched:

• Loki
• Beckham
• Scrubs
• Futurama
• One Piece
  • Binged it 🫣
• Kim's Convenience
  • As we wanted another nice programme like Schitt's Creek 🥰
• Game Changers (on YouTube)
