Electron is the devils own pile of shit

Mmmmmm no, Claude definitely is. You have to know what to ask it, but I generated and entire deadman’s switch daemon written in go in like an hour with it, to see if I could.

Just keepin an eye out for ya! At least you can rotate the secret, no big deal.

I know this is just internal stuff and doesn’t matter much, but you NEVER want to post a *_SECRET env variable.

Get fucked

GET HIM

For 2025: The aviation crashes and mishaps that are famously no big deal

Trump getting elected in 2016. “The checks and balances will keep him in line” I was told.

To that I say: go fuck yourself.

Caffeine or Zoloft.

Fuck giving Amazon biometrics. If i have to go to Whole Foods i use cash.

Nah it was a pretty immature company at the time, just told not to do shit like that anymore.

Once we ipo’d and put on big boy pants, that would have been at least a reprimand.

It’s pretty great if you land the right job. Amazon or meta? Fuck all that. But via my network I found a nice startup (after being at two big fintech companies) that pays me crazy San Francisco bucks while I live in Ohio.

And yeah, I’m very privileged and I’m well aware of it. Especially for a college drop out who majored in English….

Since I’m so privileged I make sure I do what I can to help others though, lots of donations to orgs and I do some volunteering to hand out food to the needy on weekend. It’s to help with the cognitive dissonance and the feeling like “I don’t deserve this”

I get paid well! And at the point I’d left the job we’d gotten everything stable so that the incidents dropped off and weren’t as impactful.

Tech is weird compared to other industries, in that actual mistakes that cause outages aren’t really punished… unless it’s something egregious or you didn’t follow rules like “don’t cowboy stuff in prod, use peer reviewed plans”. It’s generally “blameless” in the postmortems, you take what you learned from it and add to the procedures to make sure that exact issue doesn’t happen again.

In fintech and at scale, you aren’t far off!

I eventually got the damn thing removed at least.

Someone installed this across our 2500 machine entire fleet back in 2013. I wanted to fucking punch him in the dick, especially during incidents where every second matters.
