For those of you who have enjoyed my #GameReview posts and want to hang out and play some games, I'm starting a discord for compassionate, friendly gamers for coordinating play sessions. DM if you want an invite <3 (Feel free to boost as well)

It's been a long few months Shop, but overall I'm pretty enthusiastic about 2019.

Woo! #Detroit #Design Jobs! http://www.civilla.com/jobs

I worked with Civilla in 2017 and they are amazing.

Long weekend. Didn't get all the things done I wanted to :(.

Just dropped E2 (Uncut) of #DebuggingDowntime!

If you want to watch
@betsythemuffin, Jackson and I dive into #SideKiq, kvetch about throughput, and discuss the nuances of threads and workers, this is for you!

We're thinking about hosting regular get-together around engineering leadership and management near 12th St BART in #Oakland.

We're trying to figure out what time people are most likely to want to attend; so feedback on:

Before work? (7AM~9AM)
Before Lunch? (9AM~11AM)
After Lunch?(1PM ~ 3PM)
After Work? (6PM ~ 8PM)

It's been a long couple weeks. I'm glad to be wrapped up and just chilling in the living room with my co-founders and housemates.

It's been a huge week (and it's only tuesday!) but I'm super excited for our #DebuggingDowntime livestream that we'll be kicking off at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT!

Shout out to @jalcine for saving my bacon today with some Vue/Rails magic.

I went outside in the cold!

Recommendations for an SSL/DNS/Latency/Uptime monitor that hits domains from a variety of locales?

Ideally with a "hobbyist" or "Small business" price point?

Hello!

@betsythemuffin and I are "soft launching" a video series where we mob program and solve big problems.

The working title is #RealWorldCode - #DebuggingDowntime.

We've published a _VERY ROUGH_ uncut recording of the "First of ???" episodes to YouTube (https://t.co/axNWSSM5sa) and also made a season pass available for download / purchase on GumRoad (https://gum.co/rwc-s1-debugging-downtime)

We want your critical feedback so we can do better in the future!

When you feel like an imposter; remember that you're more likely a PASTA!

Nothing is more delicious than learning new things, so you're mmmmmmmm PASTA!

Is there alternative web-mastodon clients? I like wandering.shop as a community and host; but the built in mastodon web client is... awkward at best.

Like, I can't quickly see my mentions or direct messages? It's all stuck in "Notifications?"

And if I start a reply to a message, it isn't inside of the thread I'm replying too, it's in this column on the far left.

It's the weekend! Time to!

Uhh... <checks notes>

Review my finances? Make sure my TODOs for the weekend are in order? Go for a "run?"

WHAT THE FUCK ZEE WHAT HAPPENED TO SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS?!

Today was a good day. I set a boundary with a client that was pressuring me to provide more time than I safely could. They took it reasonably well.

I went for a morning run in the rain! (that cost all my discretionary spoons, but it was worth it to re-establish that rain doesn't stop my exercise habit).

Plus I solved a bug that kicked my ass all afternoon yesterday.

This was _after_ a night of insomnia! (~3AM sleep time, 8AM wake up)

Feels good to be getting past burnout.

Hello friends!

Tomorrow at 10 AM PT/1PM ET my business partner @betsythemuffin and I are pair-programming on a #RealWorldCode base that's written in #Ruby on #Rails. We're debugging a #DevOps/#SiteReliability issue, that appears to be cause by Amazon RDS taking a giant dump due to IOPS being used up for no good reason.

If you want to attend, you can read up on how to RSVP and watch live here - https://www.wecohere.com/events/january-15th-2019-10am-pt-1pm-et-real-world-code-livestream-preventing-cascade-failures-caused-by-excessive-concurrent-writes-in-a-heroku-hosted-amazon-rds-backed-ruby-on-rails-app/?utm_campaign=real-world-code-2019-01-17-mastodon-self-promo
