Repost and save a life

This is weird to say out loud, but I actually am kinda an expert in rate limiting, so I'm gonna explain some stuff. About half of incidents in large-scale production systems involve having more requests than you can serve. There are two categories of this kind of incident:

I wrote about my c-section: blog.cassidoo.co/post/c-section/

@benbjurstrom @JakeDChampion @ryanchenkie Good to know. Does the mini split still heat/cool well enough with the windows open?

@geek_dave @JakeDChampion @ryanchenkie It’s definitely an issue. I bought a co2 monitor and open the windows if I’m going to be inside for more then an hour.

Anyone here have a backyard office shed? I'm toying with the idea. But not sure how it would hold up in the winters and through the heat in the summer etc.

@benbjurstrom @JakeDChampion @ryanchenkie Considering something similar. Do you ever feel like the air gets stale from lack of ventilation? I wonder about the CO2 buildup specifically, leading to fatigue/headaches.

@JakeDChampion @ryanchenkie It’s a type of AC/Heating unit. This is the one I bought pioneerminisplit.com/products/pione…

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.

Got my first, first ascent 5.11d (purple route) today! The transition over the first ledge is bananas. Every hold that "looks good" is hold blocked (has a hold In the pocket, circled in purple in second photo) so it was super tricky. I'm jazzed! 🔥

@chaseadams Now you go

@chaseadams Timer: use it every day for cooking and games. Current date since I always forget (bonus preview of tomorrow's date!) Sunset/sunrise time is nice to plan my day. High/low/current temp. 4 things I used to check my phone to see and can now keep a passive awareness of.

Folks with Smart Watches (especially Apple Watch), what do you have on your watch face? How did you decide what should be there? ⌚️

🎉 It’s happeninggg!!! Engineering Management for the Rest of Us is now on sale! I’m so excited to finally release this after so much went into it. 50% of all of my profits will go to She Code Africa! @SheCodeAfrica amazon.com/Engineering-Ma…

@chaseignited @SlackHQ +1. One thing I wrestle with is whether it's OK to discuss things *in the feed channel* (in response to an automated msg) or whether those channels should be silent except for the bots.

A @slackhq tip: use feed channels for any inbound automated messages. "feed" channels give team members the ability to see *at a glance* if messages in a channel are 1) relevant to their work and 2) are for a specific service. They increase clarity & focus in an organization.

Early in my time managing the Data team at Stripe, @jeffbalogh built a tool called Hubble with massive impact. Here's what it did: - there was a big textarea to type a SQL query into - it showed results in a table - it cached the results, and gave the query + results a permalink

1/Welp, I spent last night continuing my research into the #blizzard2022 #hoax. Thankfully, @Twitter and Facebook have helpful algorithms that pointed me in the direction of *real* experts who helped me round out my thinking.

@grafana_matt Thanks @grafana_matt ! Hoping to get the kiddos back on stage again sometime soon!

Oldie but a goodie, esp if you love #Grafana and/or have kids... (Shoutout @geek_dave 👏) youtube.com/watch?v=Xj-TwA…

@chaseadamsio Have y’all watched Farmageddon yet? One of our faves.

Shaun the Sheep may be my new favorite show to watch with my 5 year old. The baby sheep (Timmy) is so cute.

@chaseadamsio @murmur Congrats on the big non-change! 🎉

I have big news: I'm staying at @murmur to help build strong, resilient, inclusive teams through working agreements! This is the first time in a very long time that I've felt like I'm exactly where I should be after a year of working on something.
