More often than not, it's cleaning up someone else's mess.

Hope to one day buy a bunch of land in the middle of nowhere Texas and blanket it in milkweed and other supporting plants.

Well, the program I work for is fully recognized by the CDC.

This thread is about finding your work meaningful, which I do. I'm not sure why you're being so condescending and hostile.

Yes, helping people with chronic medical conditions improve their health and quality of life.

A great book, imho, on this very subject is: How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims. I can't believe the level of material and amount of work for my poor 4th grader. She's doing hours and hours of homework every night and she's 10. Talk about diminishing returns!

A friend reported it was down in Frisco, TX last night from midnight to 3am.

Sounds like we need another Facebook apology tour.

Available in bulk from Costco. We use these for this reason.

That's left as an exercise for the reader.

Same, in Indiana. High school started at 7:45, bus picked up at 6:45.

More cool stuff you probably don't need whatsoever.

Because you're essentially saying: All other things equal, I'll choose the candidate based on their age.

Buzzwords aside, I've found Event Storming invaluable for understanding the behavior of domain/API for potential clients. Identifying the bounded contexts, how they interact, and allowing to clearly communicate with non-technical folks has been very beneficial. Even more so when can look to the bounded contexts to decide what to build and what to implement with a 3rd party service.

It's amazing the lengths people will go to avoid properly learning something.

You probably don't need microservices either - it's insane how much money and time is being thrown away to these industrial strength hammers by companies that simply don't need it.

You don't need K8S, you don't need microservices.

I walk through the requirements document line by line and capture it all using Event Storming. Once I get it granular enough I can give a reality-based guestimate on the hours.

Yes, go to opthamologist. The doctors I had been to (both ER and GP) were not familiar with my condition and just referred me.

I worked an intense amount of hours at a stressful company for about two years before I developed a blister on my retina due to the levels of cortisol in my blood (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_serous_retinopathy). My vision has been permanently damaged due to it. I thought I could power through and "sleep when I'm dead".

Don't do it folks, it's not worth it.

Have you been to DFW?

Thanks for this, just bought a copy. We watched his youtube series at work and it was great.

Yes.

Both my current employer and last have fallen into this trap. Trying to do microservices with a small team and moderate to low complexity. Both built distributed monoliths with a shared core and were spending lots of money keeping it from falling over. They incur all the costs of microservices with none of the benefits.

Microservices are a siren song for many small/medium sized companies. What they need is clean separation between subdomains (composing domain level API functionality together in the user level APIs to implement business logic) and clean separation between domain and infrastructure code. There are a lot less complex ways to achieve this without microservices.

If you have to ask, the answer is no.

> a large push by two folks who are no longer there

Did they work for the union? Off to the next warehouse to liberate?

The one I played for years and years is now offline. Makes me sad.

Carnegie was very philanthropic. He also ruthlessly exploited his workers.
