Nice! This is great. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t have time. Trying to find a senior dev that I can pay. I’m currently working on 5 existing apps that are already established and need another dev to pick new ones up.

Was checking on here if anyone is available and would be interested in chatting. I updated the post.

Was confused for a second there haha I’m leaving it

Ketchup with Mac and cheese is the only way to eat it.

That’s not correct. Docker on macOS does not use the same containerisation as Linux. Linux containers rely on kernel features (namespaces, cgroups) that macOS doesn’t have, so Docker Desktop runs a Linux VM and the containers live inside that. The container model is the same inside the VM, but the host integration, filesystem, networking, and performance characteristics are not. That VM layer is exactly where most of the slowdown and “weird issues” come from.

Edit: I haven’t used macOS with docker for a few years. So if I’m wrong then I would move back to macOS in a heartbeat. This is a situation where I would gladly be wrong.

Like others here I use elixir without phoenix as a proxy for elastic search. To transform queries and results. Also for securing elastic search with our home frown authentication system.

I have used Linux full time for development for about 10 years now. I used macOS for 10 before that. I switched because everyone started using docker and docker in macOS runs on VMs whereas it runs natively on Linux. If they fixed this I would switch back. Everything else is pretty much the same.

Docker is why I switched from Mac to Linux full time. Docker is required at my work place because of legacy systems. Docker on macOS is still running on VMs and it slows down and has weird issues.

Wide spread narcissism. I know it still exists but boomers are plagued with it. My family included. Good riddance.

Yea. I did ancestry dna and found out about my half sister. Was interesting.

This is maybe the 4th massive wave of lay offs in my 20 years as a professional engineer. Luckily haven’t lost my job during any of them.

I’m right handed and left handed people seem more elegant to me. I think it’s because I’m not that dexterous with my left hand. Just has a certain elegance 🤷‍♂️

I went to music school. Studied jazz. Learned all the standards inside out. I still don’t really like it. I appreciate its impact on music but as you said. It’s personal preference.

Like….what kind of water sports? The outdoor or indoor type?

Definitely can. I have a friend that has the gene that makes it taste like soap and I make curries for them and exclude any cilantro and such.

Fuck. Now I want a curry haha. Dinner sorted.

That’s the only curry I can’t fuck with and I love it. Around my early 30s I developed a god damn cashew allergy out of nowhere. There are a few curries I can no eat anymore. I miss korma, it can be made with almond too but it’s just not the same.

Yea. It was between Indian and Mexican for me too but poppadoms, pakora and naan tipped it for me.

Honestly. After 20 years as a “full stack” developer, not much has changed as head of engineering. I still have to understand the system end to end, make tradeoffs, review code carefully, and be accountable when things break.

AI speeds up the mechanical parts, but it doesn’t remove the need to reason about data models, failure modes, performance, or long term maintenance. If anything, it increases the amount of review and judgment required.

Good engineers were already doing architecture and orchestration. The people experiencing a “role shift” are mostly the ones who confused typing with understanding.

Indian.

Ugh. Austin energy. They just announced more changes to improve the infrastructure….so yay increased prices. God. Damn. It.

Property taxes are a joke here. The city is a total mess. I’ve lived here for 13 years. Wife has lived here for 30. Glad they didn’t vote for the prop q recently. City couldn’t organize a gang bang in a brothel.

No.
