A day goes by. Waiting for CI.

One of the worst things about Confluence is that I have to decide where to put the page in the hierarchy before I wrote even one word.
I much prefer organic structures. Both for knowledge and organizations.

Super excited about OpenTelemetry. And also: HTTP is pretty awesome. Love that the protocol's extensible design still holds up today. HTTP/2 and the Trace Context seem to work great for modern service architectures.

Saw a great thread on this today:

When building software I tend to jump to trying to find a solution to the problem. Instead I should ask the more crucial questions first:
How can I be confident the solution works as intended?
How can I have a productive dev workflow while solving and evolving the solution?

Of course there are exceptions. You can get rich by having a patent for some fancy crypto algorithm. Not my cup of tea though. Feels morally similar to profiting from a patent for a vaccine.

A project or company is a system. Code is only a momentarily artifact the system produced. If that artifact is still all the value you have, the system is dead.

If you are scared someone stole your business because they saw your source code a few years ago, then I argue you don't know what is the value you deliver. Code is one of the least important bits :)

We rarely do stuff like restarting a web server on a new port once a new config event came into the DB. Maybe we should do more of that.

Seems like a really solid platform to build on. I would be curious to find out more about the tradeoffs it takes.
It seems to be mainly designed for client-side applications. What tradeoffs does it take compared to for example the JVM or Go's design?

The tech is impressive. But they should have called it How to Make California Look Like Germany.

I can't really say I understand the NFT hype currently happening in the art world😅:
But some artworks are pretty cool 😎
Anyone of you thoughts on that?

When I accidentally send "gg" to some chat window, do people think I am a gamer or a vim user?
