Follow up to my last post, I got a new job and will be starting at Datadog soon.

“The years of the Hitler regime . . . were naturally very depressing, But work was a good friend, and I have often thought and said how wonderful it is that by work one may be granted a long respite of forgetfulness from oppressive political conditions.” -Lise Meitner a discoverer of nuclear fission

Loved the new Cory Doctorow book Picks and Shovels. Loved this: a client one night made an extremely frank offer at the end of a session going over the spreadsheets she’d paid me to analyze and she’d said, “Oh, that’s the deli rule.” “The deli rule?” “Don’t get your meat where you get your bread.”
