I’m in that boat now 😭

Except I built the app from the ground up and I was super proud of it. I learned so much about PKI and S3 and made a better system for our suppliers, engineers, and customers.

The fatal flaw was that changing supplier workflows was a complete non starter. It didn’t matter that I reduced the complexity of supplier involvement and made it easier for them to work with us, the old supplier portal HAD to be their front end, which has no api to interact with (one of the drivers for this project).

Without the direct supplier pipeline, the tool is worse than useless. Now we need a manual process to receive, validate, and sign software before moving it to the new system. Then to deliver it requires another manual process in reverse.

I made everyone involved life worse.

Oh no my cilantro aversion

Guys it’s a bit, he’s doing a bit. Calm down.

Big tech won’t chip in is my bet. My company maintains its own version of Linux that has some specific certifications. Updating that box requires an act of god. My bet is that the companies that can afford to will create their own “LTS” versions that just get older and older, and more broken and exploited as time goes on…

Sorry, long night at work =/

We use git lab… there might be something equivalent I’ll check out. I really hate testing/building/fixing cicd because of how long it takes to try something out.

My Owen was a Philip. Boy those were good times 😢👍

Gene Wolfe: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from traversing complex, labyrinthine narratives and deciphering symbolic, metaphysical riddles we haven’t begun to understand yet.

Arthur C. Clarke: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from encountering benevolent alien intelligence we haven’t discovered yet.

Ray Bradbury: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from rediscovering the beauty of books and humanity’s inherent capacity for empathy in a world we’re rapidly forgetting.

Robert A. Heinlein: We’re headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity’s salvation will come from pioneering individualism, libertarianism, and multi-planetary colonies we haven’t established yet.

You’re getting down voted to hell, but I totally agree. Using someones else’s YT account or using it at work is so jarring because I am used to a 100% ad-free experience. It’s a good value to me, I’m not going to cry about paying $15 a month for a service I literally use multiple hours a day.

Those ads are the point of their business model. They show you ads, and repay you with tokens. You can gift those tokens to content creators or sell them on the market.

Boo nerd

Lol aww. My Olive is so particular about touching, which is a shame because she is the softest. Our love language is her laying fingertip distance from me and letting me get two or three pets in =)

My MIL has one of those, biggest cat I ever saw. A pretty boy, but a big boy for sure!

Aww cmon, there’s totally room for a pile 🥰

Aww how handsome

What kind of kitties is this? My cat looks like yours and I don’t know what her breed is =/

Is that a thing about torts? Never knew that! I’ve heard that huskies like to yell and our neighbors husky sure loves to be heard lol.

I have two kitties, a black one and a not quite orange one. The black one doesn’t make a noise but the not quite orange one likes to answer her name 🥰

My favorite beans ❤️
