Second feeding of the Christmas cake and it smells amazing, albeit very much of rum!

How do you think they finding out about the economy, climate crisis, and nazis? Maybe it is the iPhones

(Not that the rest aren’t problems but there’s a whole industry incentivised to keep you worried and panicked about them. We lived under the shadow of car bombs, an ozone hole, and nuclear annihilation but that shit was confined to once a day at 6pm)

I’ve learnt that I can eat well when I’m not in pain. But all bets are off when I’m in pain 😖

Thought for the day: 5km swimming is a serious distance. A half marathon, though it's never called that.

The difference between a half-marathon run and a swim is that >50% of the population could eventually complete the run, even if they walked it. And, I'm guessing, the mortality rate will be <1%. The mortality rate on the swim would probably be >95%

This was, I think, the best talk I’ve seen Eileen give. I think dismissed it on the agenda thinking it was about microservices vs monoliths, and sure it started that way, but the last 20mins revealed the truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olxoNDBp6Rg

Also: took down two video platforms 🎉

If you publish rate limits, you better be able to handle that load because that’s my target

Since we viewed this house, the fridge had this little note on the ice box door and we obeyed for fear of the consequences.

Rumours abounded about what we might find when we opened it. A dead rabbit? A severed head? A stack of cash (frozen assets 🥁)?

Or just an empty box 😞

As I wonder why I’m pulling out the integrated fridge at 8pm on a Sunday night, I’m reminded of many chaotic childhood Sunday evenings like this.

Like when a picture needed to be hung, and when drilling the hole my dad hit the electrics, so needed to pull up floorboards in the bedroom, and replace the electrical cable.

Just normal Sunday night things.

I assume all households are like this?

(Cat inspectors were on the job despite the late hour)

Just paired with Claude to make this throwaway tool to visualise project estimates over time. Worked extremely well!

It still required a bit of hand-editing the javascript but 99% of this just worked. Also, software estimates can be useful!

Or perhaps more accurately it should be:

Profit / Requests per second / employees

since unprofitable companies are no craic (0/x is always 0)

Revenue per request per employee basically defines how enjoyable a business is.

Maximise revenue; minimise the number rps you need to serve and the number of employees you need to do it

New rule: if you give someone the ability to bulk delete things, even with warnings and confirmation dialogs, someone will immediately delete everything in their account and then ask you to restore it.
