But what about "you can throw AI at it and be more productive inventing new things" then?)

Europe needs to stop thinking about itself as "small" and "dependant on help" from anyone. With 450M population and second (joint with China if you want) GDP in the world we can (and should!) decide for ourselves.

- SLAs? 15mins to respond
- how did it change how you planned your life? .. "going black" to the rest of the world. dragging laptop around when going outside.
- what was your wellbeing like? - non-existent

come think of it - biggest part of being on-call is being _prepared_, so it happens outside of actual on-call and is continuous - from attending team/org/conpany ops meetings to hear about last week ops to drills and crafting the ops tools.

I used to work in a place where we _aimed_ at four nines, but never below 99.95.
You need to check-in within 15 minutes of the page no matter what. Resolution time depends on the root cause ofc. We had comprehensive runbooks and tooling for _everything_ ops + regular drills and COEs

Correct me if my math is off, but i $1M/day are divided by US population, it makes $0,003/day/person. 20 billionaires - $0,06/day or $1.75/mo. Can't do much with that can you?
So we need to go higher. Calculate back from UBI. Or child support in DE (€255/mo and growing).
Eat the rich for real)

First time I regret bluesky does not allow multiple likes because I would've given this over 9000.
The world feels like home at this point. I know every corner of it and still long to go back.

this goes straight to my "sharks are older than trees" collection

This can be the name of a code smell. Malkovich code.

is saving $100M for a $37.89B revenue company a lot?

"Nothing can exist unless a test is directly or indirectly using it."

wait how is this different from 100% test coverage?

it must be renamed to A2HA - Attention Agility Hyperactivity Advantage, because this is what it is )

its all good and things, but can it run Doom?
(jk, quite impressive!)

if it was Javascript lesson - [] is definitely NaN.

I liked the article, in particular how the precarious boss is obviously "he"

I would argue that "using automated tool for X" is not a skill. X is a skill. In case of refactoring - I dont know any devs that practice it and do not use the automation, except for coding dojos/katas, e.g. to hone the skill )
