I'm using these options https://blog.gitbutler.com/how-git-core-devs-configure-git and I'm happy with it

With the digital wellbeing app feature it is possible to set a timer of 0 minutes on all auto-installed and auto-reenabling apps to effectively disabling it for good.

Edit: the timer stays even after updates so the app is not enabled again

My first university course was a C programming course. The exam was a programming task to be carried over on paper.

Acquired has a Ferrari episode https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/ferrari

I find myself using LLMs mostly to jump start into working and "saving" the energy that I need to start working on a new task. Whether the LLM produces something good or not, I am now in the middle of work.

It works best if I'm not already exhausted because a that point LLMs output just confuse me with a lot of text and code.

IVF in Italy is included in universal health care already, regardless of age.

If the government is going to pay for IVF for 40 years old women it would be cheaper if those women had eggs frozen at 20 because overall you would succeed with fewer embryo transfers.

Of course that's not the only policy needed, we need affordable house for families, schools, decent parental leave for both parents.

The "But Wait, We Need Filters Too" paragraph mentions "US" filter which is introduced only later on.

Having done IVF with my wife I think this is the most underrated fertility advice available today.

I don't understand why governments of countries with increasing average age and low birth rate don't pay for this for all women. This is one the best pro-family policies that can be implemented.

I found gemini 3 pro to be pretty good.

Overall understanding of the code, code generation capabilities and ability to explain are all pretty good.

It's worth mentioning debezium https://debezium.io/

It allows to publish all changes from the db to Kafka.

Mandatory quote from Brooklyn 99:

> Captain Holt: Well, this is a total waste of time. Sergeant Jeffords: Sure, but you can still have fun, even if you're wasting time. Captain Holt: That's absurd. Productivity is what makes things fun. That's why humans go to work. Sergeant Jeffords: It is?

Also this is relevant to understand the situation in Calabria if you can read Italian or maybe with some translation tool https://www.ilpost.it/2025/06/27/commissariamenti-calabria/

The problem is not WeBuilt, issues usually arise with subcontracting.

Calabria is home of Ndrangheta https://www.interpol.int/en/Crimes/Organized-crime/Projects/...

Ndrangheta is a huge criminal organization with ties to politics and a lot of economic power and it is based in Calabria.

The current government actively proposed special antimafia rules for checking contractors and subcontractors for the bridge which, IMHO, reinforce the idea that it is a gift to mafia. Luckily the proposal was rejected by the president https://en.ilsole24ore.com/art/strait-bridge-no-derogation-a...

We already had issues with ndrangheta and infrastructures for example https://transparency.eu/the-eternally-unfinished-highway/ or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioia_Tauro

All of this only on one side of the bridge, on the other you have Sicily.

I think that there are reasonable doubts about mafia interference with the construction of the bridge.

It won't pay off. It is a gift to mafia.

  Location: Italy, Europe
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: C# / .NET, Azure, IAC with Bicep, SQL, Cosmos DB, Kubernetes

  Email: davide.lettieri(at)gmail.com

Backend developer with 12+ years of experience on .NET mostly building APIs, minor experience with frontend (typescript) and python, used to remote work with international distributed teams, good experience on Azure (networking, databases, aks and more), always keen on doing whatever the team needs. I'm looking for IC positions, happy to switch technology stack, open to occasional travel.

Our team used polyglot notebooks https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotne...

Using C# as main language this allowed us to have runbooks using code shared as nuget package and so being able to interact with our own APIs and applications as any other code that runs in production.

Not the best experience to review but it worked for us.

Location: Italy, Europe Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No, but happy to travel a few times a year Technologies: 12+ years on .NET/C# with focus on aspnet and all things backend, Azure (AKS, cosmos, key vault, blob storage, vnet, frontdoor, service bus etc), bicep, K8S, MSSQL. Some experiences with MySQL, mongodb, elastic search Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davide-lettieri/ https://davidelettieri.it/Davide%20Lettieri.pdf Email: davide.lettieri[at]gmail.com

Experienced C# developer, mostly focused on backend but I contributed to all things I was allowed to. I worked in an Italian scale-up and I was the first engineer joining my current company, a German startup. I'm always willing to learn new technologies as needed. I prefer roles where I can poke at multiple things (infra, iac, gitops, a bit less on frontend).

Also impact of diet should not be underestimated https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5357144/

edit: at least on mices for now

Do we know how memory consumption?

Have you thought about investing in the third party provider? Getting a share might give you a say on where development should go and what support requests get resolved first.

Should diet / exercise be the primary mechanisms to support longevity?

edit: also this is quite interesting https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lxyzc

I've been driving from Rome to Calabria for several years now and I think the Salerno-Reggio Calabria has vastly improved while still being without tolls.

I would just say that it's missing some gas station and services but the road is good.

That's the right approach, hopefully more governments will follow. Stuff built with public money should belong to the public.

It's worth mentioning https://github.com/IronScheme/IronScheme

> Even Italians work more hours than Americans

That's a bit gratuitous

There is an analyzer https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Thread... to catch some common mistakes

I find it easier than terraform since when using bicep you don't need to track state.

Bicep might be a better option to do IAC on azure.
