After two months of daily notes and work documentation in Obsidian, I’m finally seeing the benefits! I actually feel like I can recall information much more easily now—this system really works! #obsidian

Mid way through the hackathon at work. Spending most of my time with #AngularJS. I’m not a front end guy but I’m giving it a go… would much rather be working on the back end though..

Starting #AdventOfCode today (bit late) decided on using Go this year, day 1 done. The first problem took me a while as i was getting used to the syntax, the second was fairly easy #golang

Spent the day debugging why my integration tests pass locally but intermittently fail on GitHub Actions. The issue is clearly due to differences in the testing environment, but what differences? Back on it tomorrow I guess

37 years ago, one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the history of television occurred. In some ways, it might have been the most 80s thing ever. Of course we're talking about the Max Headroom incident. #1980s dfarq.homeip.net/max-headroom...
Max Headroom incident of Nov 22, 1987
Max Headroom. New Coke. Cola Wars. Unsolved mystery. Most 80s thing ever.

no better feeling than seeing 100% of your tests pass

I’ve switched back to a DisplayLink dock. Coming from a Thunderbolt 4 dock, I thought I’d notice a drop in quality, but I don’t. Frame rate looks the same to my untrained eye, and now I can use two external monitors with my MacBook Air M2!

I’ve used lots of different load testing tools but this one, I think, is the best!

I find this invaluable k6.io
Load testing for engineering teams | Grafana k6
k6 is an open-source tool and cloud service that makes load testing easy for developers and QA engineers.

How seriously do people take logs in their software? I’ve been digging through an app with skyrocketing log storage costs, and wow… it’s a mess. Anyone else seen logging chaos like this?
