As a Californian, I don’t like a California burrito unfortunately. Not sure if fries belong in a burrito, but potatoes in a breakfast burrito most definitely

Exact same thing happened to Feinstein

San Diego burritos are phenomenal and often don’t contain rice

Hey, I spent some of 2009 and also 2013-2014 in Kenya working alongside USAID folks

Not calling you a liar but could you please educate me? My experience was that the goal was the opposite.

Now, wading through shitty opportunistic local capitalistic scumbags was an issue, but a separate one.

Is that what the three seashells are?

Bravo but can we not put big-ass stickers on the windows please

Aw rats.

I feel like most accusations of bad QA have their roots upstream of the QA department (or lack thereof)

Have tried to exterminate Jordan Peterson recommendations for years to no avail.

I wonder if YouTube lets these plugins through because it doesn’t want to attract antitrust suits

Beer is oddly terrible and weak in Australia but Toohey’s Old is good, more rare down here in Vic though

Former coworkers: “oh, these two lines are the same in function x and function y. TIME TO ABSTRACT”

FUCK. Triggers me. Just got let go from a place that had this problem and wouldn’t let me make any changes whatsoever. I didn’t even push hard.

Interesting. My perspective is that a strong, small team building a monolith has to think of constraints and design for them, and the microservices teams make choices in the local instead of the global maximum, which reduces cohesion and incurs communication costs. I would think that carving out a service from a monolith would be easier than the reverse direction, although maybe you’re with me on that.

Dude thank you for your detailed reply which I have been thinking about for a while.

I don’t want to mischaracterise what you’re saying but I want to try to summarise the lessons, which I think are super valid.

1. Some external layers or services are basically essential, like a WAF/auth/rate limiter/API gateway/reverse proxy. Or DB.
2. Observability and logging, and rapid response to anomalies, together with a honeypot, go a long way toward maintaining security.

This is definitely a way to think about this that I haven’t distilled. Thanks!
