@davidconde Best of luck for what comes next. I’ll be waiting for an update ;-)

After just over two years working with amazing people it’s time for me to hang up my Red Hat for the last time, next month a new journey begins 🍻

@abayer Any answers yet. I am intrigued as well.

We're mirroring git repos from GitHub to something internal, and one repo somehow has _18 million_ files under the bare repo's objects directory, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

@abayer 😆

This here is an issue I never expected to run into, but here we are. github.com/bazelbuild/baz…

@davidconde @jokekoky Take care of you and the rest of the family.

@jokekoky Everyone is home now, now to try and get everyone to catch up on sleep.

Waiting now, hopefully that’s all sorted for now

@gunnarmorling So true.

A fair share of software design is professional procrastination: keeping options on the table, doors open for as long as you can, in order to avoid locking yourself into a corner by committing too early to abstractions which turn out poor later on.

@gunnarmorling I keep having this discussion why it is important to spend time setting up a development environment where debugging is possible. Worth every minute :-)

As I'm just seeing this bizarre take again: don't let anyone shame you for using a debugger, it's one of the most powerful tools in the box to understand the runtime behavior of programs. Use what gets the job done, not what someone on the internet finds aesthetically pleasing.

I’m officially calling it barrel aged season, it’s freezing outside. A cracking rye whiskey barrel aged doppelbock from @ryeriverbrewing 🍻

@abayer 😂 Lemon Husk, I like that.

I love that the Orange Site still has Lemon Husk stans commenting about how he's going to turn it all around because he's a Space Genius or something.

@mojavelinux @BriceDutheil @gunnarmorling @intellijidea I second that. I find "git blame” to have such a negative connotation. I’d prefer “git credit” as well.

@BriceDutheil @gunnarmorling @intellijidea Yep, that would certainly work. Though I think the point here is that git should deprecate blame and replace it with a more constructive term. Pijul uses "credit", which I really like.

Who named it git *blame*?! How about bringing a bit more positivity into our lives with a little alias: `git config alias.praise blame` 🤓.

@gunnarmorling @Decodableco Congratulations and good luck. Looking forward to hear more.

🎉 Living the stream -- I am thrilled to share that I've joined @Decodableco as a software engineer! The world is real-time, and so should be your data. Beyond excited to help building the real-time data platform for everyone 🚀!

@abayer I know the feeling. Like drinking from the fire hose. I’ll get better though.

Virtual onboarding for the new job has kind of done my head in. So much info and change all at once! I really wish the new Andor came out tomorrow, but guess I’ll settle for new NK Jemisen.

@gunnarmorling I see. The plot thickens.

@fere0010 The former, definitely :)

My new MacBook arrived 🥳! M1 Max, 64 GB RAM, this should be fun.

@abayer And so our paths cross again. :-)

So yeah! Today's my last day at CloudBees after ~7 years. On Monday, I start at Datadog, working on their internal CI platform. Eep!

@gunnarmorling @RedHat Well played

📢 Some personal news: after ten years, it's my last week at @RedHat! Feeling blessed to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from this world-class team, help to build amazing open-source projects and communities, and travel the world. Thanks for everything!

@forrestbrazeal Awesome!

@maxandersen Congratulations 🥃 Not sure what to say more on order not to fall into the same trap as @gunnarmorling ;-)

Today I come of age. 18 year anniversary in Red Hat.

"Good code documents itself" is one of the most damaging takes in software engineering. Code itself won't tell you about the decisions and rationale behind it, nor about about higher-level structures and abstractions. All this needs elaboration in documentation.
