Fair point! I’m thinking mostly about the complexity that tends to (unfortunately) come from scale and learning about how your decisions lead to that.

Sure, but that’s like saying you can code school projects and get good experience.
The scale is the thing for my side of the world.

His must be unique to CS grads, because in the cloud / ops / plat eng world, there’s near zero chance of doing much useful without a big budget or a school account.

I wouldn’t use an LLM for test data unless you validate it pretty heavily! The bias in LLMs to “making you happy” vs “being accurate” is very real.

I started doing this early on - hard to pick back up where you were in the middle of a multi hour build fest!

Let’s be honest - it’s more about the drinking and fellowship than the game.

I’m just grateful - that’s all. These last four months have been challenging, boy howdy. And I’m starting to see new things that are exciting and possible.
So thanks for being there partner, family and friends! I hope 2025 gives all of us better opportunities!

And finally, I am grateful for friends. For those I’ve gotten through work, for those I’ve gotten through hobbies, for those I’ve gotten through life. Thank you all.

Third, I am grateful for my family. We may be the crazy ass Bishops that we are, but this helped make me who I am. You can’t pick and choose the good and try to ignore or denigrate the challenging. It all made me who I am.

Second, to have the partner I have. My wife is my best friend, my confidant, my center. I find strength in her when I’m weak, having a bad day, or just mad at the world. I’ve had other relationships before our marriage and know how amazingly rare and valuable that is. ❤️❤️

I would venture a guess that they have not had the benefit of higher education. Anyone who has gone to a college or university outside of a very few knows most professors aren't paupers but don't live anywhere near an extravagant lifestyle unless they came with one.

To limit how much intermixing can happen (people and thus ideas). At least that’s what I remember from the books.

My thought model here is "if you feel your tools suck, what got you here?" and then outlining what I believe are the most common pitfalls I've done, experienced or seen.
I will say the absolute most frustrating thing I've had as a leader is the organization deciding tooling for "strategic reasons"

At first I thought "no organization puts its newest shiny thing on display!" but then I realized what you're also saying is this IS NASA's newest shiny thing IS a retired 1970s space vehicle.
