I broke the only rule when dealing with your regulator, keep your cool when they are being obtuse. Saying "this is industry standard stuff, anyone who has even passing experience with technology should grasp these concepts" was _not_ the correct decision.

We lost power mid meeting due to the wind storm, drastically increasing my displeasure. An unexpected cost of #ClimateChange

They have to boil oceans to achieve a fraction of the power of those who understand computers.

was pondering how to root my television to eliminate yet another source of #spyware when i realized how prescient #Palahniuk was in #FightClub "what you own ends up owning you" - every device requires active attention in the 21st century or it will end up owning you.

Probably getting laid off today or next tuesday, in case anyone is looking for a low latency Java developer with 20+ years in the fintech space. Solid distributed performance analysis bonafides, as well as k8s bottleneck clearing. I once got a trading platform from 700mics median to 39 mics median in a prod environment during a multimillion dollar hardware migration. Amusingly that is probably why I will find there are no seats available for me in the next few weeks. Nothing scares establishment more than someone who understands how the machines work when they do not. Anyway, keep me in mind, willing to move, but remote is pretty dang efficient. I like efficient. #getfedihired #java #performance
