re: Multiple partitions CW: Code switching, identity, MH (-, -, 0) 

@kelseyhusky This sounds far too familiar...

Of course... I just finished giving a persentation at 8am to some UK devs... in full on... fake confidence SRE work-person mode... having woken up 20 minutes before the presentation.. @.@

Work thoughs, brain differences 

This project really illustrated something about what I enjoy vs most of my other SRE coworkers.

Them: "I fucking love Terraform, if I could just write code all day for stuff I would.. planning.. organizing.. stuff sucks.. Just tell me what you need and I'll write the modules!"

Me: "Ugh... I hate writing templates.. like I love how simple they make stuff but hate coding side..."

My Boss: "Hey Sam... We are going to help this team build this thing in Azure.. since you're completed the basic Azure training can you take point on this project. Figure out how we should made this happen and get stuff together to present to the devs doing the engineering side."

Me:"Sure.. okay.. I can do that."

A week and a half later...
My brain is so full of stuff and oh my gods I've done so much research and I can talk about this a lot..... I need to arrange all this in a sensible manner though.. because I have to talk about it in the morning...

2 hours of making workflow, pipelines and design charts later.. YES YES IT MAKES SENSE IN MY HEAD!

Send charts and nothing else to my team members.
"This is really good. holy shit!"
I guess I should start writing the words to go with this...

4 more hours later.. send off a doc to my boss and other team member.

"Damn this is really good and I like you approached it from a Why we should do things like this angle than 'this is how it should be done'. I think it will drive a lot of good how to questions and thoughts in the meeting tomorrow. Excellent Job!"

Me... to myself.. I really enjoyed that... like it was fun and interesting intellectually.. I like doing research and planning things...
Also me: Fuck I have to present this to people in the morning... commence the anxieties!

re: Synth worries (translating from huskybot to terran english) 

@kelseyhusky @mawr I hope it comes out pleasing!

@kelseyhusky *appendages crossed*

I just wish it wasn't during an 8am meeting that I'm usually half asleep during.

Hopefully I can convince some surly Brit developers in the morning.

Thanks!

Weee... today I made a thing... a plan... a design for new upcoming architecture for the project we are building in Azure on Kubernetes... complete with some pretty diagrams.
I'm rather proud of it... but I'm super fucking nervous about presenting it to the dev team for this service in the morning..

On the upside my boss seems to be very happy with it and really liked the pair of charts I made for it.

@oannablue I've been thinking about picking that up. Will do now.

I just recently finished "This is How You Lose The Time War" which was amazing and is joint effort between the author of "Empress of Forever" and another author.

furry commission request 

As an Admirer of Serpents, broadly defined, I for one enthusiastically support the tradition of Snektember. Anyone up for reinterpreting a colorful dragon as a huge colorful snake instead? (not looking for discounts, art is labor and I pay for labor)

what if🤔🤨😉we held hands☺️😲and we were both dragons :dragnowo: :dragnuwu: :dragnthink: haha, just kidding :dragnmlem: unless...? :dragnowo:

@mawr It is beautifully told and wonderful story... and I don't think I could do justice to it by summarizing.

The story is told from the perspective of letters exchanged by two agents of diametrically opposed futures fighting across thousands of time lines and course of all human history.

Over the course of their rivalry they slowly start to fall in love with each other despite never meeting, only walking through echos of course of events they've taken to thwart each other.

HEY HEY GO READ "THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR!"

@mawr YOU NEED TO CONSUME THIS MEDIA! GET IT IN YOUR BRAIN! I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT!

In case you missed it: the Twine game "You Are Jeff Bezos". You wake up one day as Jeff, and try to give away all of his money.

@IrisKalmia Every Duc I've owned had a kickstand cut off switch. If the kickstand was down and the bike was not in Neutral, no bang.

Lots of people disable them for reasons (aka on really bumpy roads they can be... finkcy)

re: I hate corporations (bitching about my job [2/2]) 

@mawr Fucking yikes...

That sounds nightmarish and I'm really glad I've moved over to the public cloud sector >.>;;;

re: Destiny 2, monstrous features 

@Oneironott Definitely a lot of good stuff this time around! I'm actually pretty excited for Shadowkeep.

re: Destiny 2, monstrous features 

@Oneironott Aside from the shoot the eyes mechanic for Riven... Lash Wish is a great experience. Reminded me of doing Vault of Glass for the first time in a lot of positive ways.

re: Destiny 2, monstrous features 

@Oneironott I really liked Last Wish.. I still need to get around to doing Crown of Sorrow and Scourge of the Past..

Not a huge fan of most of the Leviathan content though.
