When that photo praising sleeping in the office was posted, those defending it said it was what was necessary to get good work done sometimes. But all we’ve seen since then is bad work, confusion, and anxiety coming from the product. Maybe it’s time for Tweeps to get better sleep

@PaulDJohnston Some parts of it are weird and surprising but most of it is pretty straightforward imo. Especially with CDK.

Paul Johnston 🌍 non-exec/advisory
Does anyone else think this? Please be honest. For those of us who work with serverless tech day in day out IAM is basically second nature but it can also be a bit frustrating.
Simon Willison@simonw

@PaulDJohnston Working with IAM is too difficult I don't trust myself to use it securely, and even if I did I'd worry that adding more engineers to a project would increase the chance of someone else making a mistake with it in the future

@thijsniks @tkarlo Home owners have limited options to improve things. External insulation often requires planning permission. Internal insulation takes up a lot of space in the living area.

@tkarlo How come this isn’t improving? Government doesn’t care?

It’s fascinating how most 19th century homes in London are still very poorly insulated, including single glazed glass everywhere

@ReinH New Relic gave up on product innovation many years ago but if all you is extremely low effort to deploy APM it's...not bad?

@robdykedotcom A banned form of risky options contract that is prone to fraud. Seems about right for crypto.

@ekuber @tw Why did Rust defer this choice to an entirely different organisation when other languages have not?

@mountain_ghosts £1250 per customer. Doesn't sound totally implausible.

@thomas_k_r you can get like 5x your salary on a mortgage these days no? most senior level tech people should be able to get a mortgage on that.

@stevendotjs Advice is only useful in a context and if you're context is "my manager is too busy to manage me" this is just a cope.

@stevendotjs e.g. Your boss is tired of being your manager. They want you to manage them. Assume they’re reading with partial attention. Remind them where you left off so they can task switch faster.

@stevendotjs The framing of the OP is that managers are too busy to manage you. This is a broken org. I've been there. The managers need to be identifying this and changing things up.

@K0nserv Apple could do a Microsoft and contribute to Chromium. A single open browser platform seems like a huge win to me.

I’m generally ok at spelling but I will never ever be able to spell “unnecessary”. Common attempts are: unesesary ❌ unnesessary ❌ unecesery ❌ Such a cursed word.

@mountain_ghosts if you're comfortable upgrading the SSD (1TB for £100) the 12600K one doesn't seem too awful in this market. if not 256GB is uselessly small so the 10700F is probably a more practical choice.

@phillmv The core team are paying themselves $30k/month out of the proceeds just to look after an old book. It's such a grift.
