tokumei··on Amazon Introduces Re:Post, a “Stack Overflow” for AWS
AWS has good support if you’re a high-level customer. We have a rep we can arrange meetings with on a days notice if we need anything.
tokumei··on Shrooms: What You Need to Know
Mostly just describing my experiences with normal psilocybin mushrooms.

The visuals were very noticeable for me, but they would mostly enhance whatever it was that I was looking at. Peoples heads would morph and bend (the best way I can describe that is the music video “Drugs” by Ratatat), trees would breath and the branches would look like giant mushrooms, I’d see slight colors and geometry on flat surfaces, my phone would feel like liquid. The body high was also amazing. All of this for me was on a 7.5g dosage.

In contrast with LSD, it would completely change everything that I could see. I woke up once after going to sleep on alcohol/LSD, and it looked like I was in a cartoon, and I continued to trip for another 8 hours.

Exact opposite for me. LSD is nice, but the visuals can be overwhelming. The visuals on mushrooms, for me are more “organic” I guess, and the mental state more natural. I haven’t done either in over a decade, but that’s what I remember. I used to do a heroic dose of mushrooms once a week - the feelings of euphoria once you peek and the subtle visuals were amazing.

It’s also possible to go to sleep on mushrooms once you’re at the end of your trip, as the trip is really a lot shorter. I remember lying awake in my bed on LSD with the room melting around me, wondering if it would ever end, just wishing that I could go to sleep.

Edit: As far as being alone with your experience - I had a lot of friends that preferred LSD over mushrooms. It’s really a personal preference as to which one suits you best.

It is also terribly slow, unfortunately; in contrast with other package managers.
tokumei··on Lesser-known Postgres features
Why? Concrete ownership is a good thing. I prefer more rigid structures and I like designing my tables around that. It was the Wild West when I did database design around MySQL 15ish years ago. Of course I didn’t know nearly as much as I do now back then.

I’ve been using fish for years and I love it. I have a simple prompt and a few functions that I share between all of the environments I have.

Whoops lol, should have kept reading. I definitely understand. Drinking and writing software is something I enjoy.

I disagree with the comment regarding the tech stack. It does matter - it only doesn’t if you’re willing to spend more money scaling worse preforming applications.

Andreas doesn’t prefer using debuggers. He’s actually touched on the subject a few times in his videos.

Anytime Cloudflare is experiencing issues, I immediately stop what I’m doing and direct customers to the Cloudflare status page and take a nice break.
