@erinrobotson @esammer We do not know yet how his part of the story ended ;)

Haven’t started to taxi and middle seat has refused to get up to let someone in, almost broken a bottle, elbowed me repeated, and gotten up to get their bag more than once. Nature is healing.

@patrickangeles Welcome to the club! :)

This year I turned “need reading glasses” years old.

@awadallah Amr, you are as good a person as they come. Your humbleness and kind nature pours out of your heart every second of the day. I loved our chats - at the oddest of times. If I am asked to point at one person that makes the world a better place then it is you!

I am still in complete shock. If you know me then please say something in this thread. I could use some love right about now tbh. 🙏

@patrickangeles @mikeolson @awadallah The (Cloud)era of the field team chiefs comes to an end. Our joint years were stellar! The honey badger has left the building. ;) Godspeed for whatever you do next!!!

Last day at Cloudera. It's been a great ride. Thanks @mikeolson, @awadallah, Jeff Hammerbacher, and Christophe Bisciglia for starting the company that heralded the big data era. Thanks Doug Cutting and the Apache Hadoop community for making it open source…lnkd.in/dQr4wFi

@esammer @puscifer Thanks Eric, this is beautiful. Music is the universal healing source. And for it is all about the emotions. The simpler the better often, like this youtu.be/e2h8K2eHS5w

there are some songs that reach out and grab you. @puscifer's grand canyon is one of them. the original is also next-next level, as is the video. youtube.com/watch?v=qtZJiQ…

some know, but i used to be a music teacher before i wrote code. i tend not to mix my music and tech worlds. that said, you truly just have to see this. @BrassAgainst is next level, but this is next-next level. youtube.com/watch?v=gV0DcP…

@patrickangeles @jpatanooga I can see an „old man yelling at cloud“ coming up

@jpatanooga I think you can fit this to existing curves by just declaring a trough of disillusionment that lasted ~15 years.

I need a chart for "which old technology concept, e.g., *SQL*, is cool again"

Without revealing your age, what’s the first video game you remember playing?

@erinrobotson @technmsg @fwiffo @Apple That would be awesome indeed!

@fwiffo @rovetastic I would trust @fwiffo on this, he has the best shades!

@rovetastic Yes

Should I get mirrored sunglasses or regular ones?

@technmsg @fwiffo @Apple Congrats!!! And accepting that you take that role over working with me. But just barely 😎

@technmsg I’m in! 😇🤘

@technmsg @cloudera Alex! Congrats of course are in order, you are a rock star! Oh, and also please come work for Okera and with me. Would love that!!!

@tonyfwhite Three days???? Is that a joke at your cost?

Well now got an excuse to find something to binge watch

@esammer @jessetanderson Is it a weighted blanket? Love those!

@jessetanderson Still researching. Have not yet been eaten. Will follow up later with status.

Just took a 1:1 from under a fuzzy blanket. AMA.

@patrickangeles @nheudecker Is _that_ how it is pronounced? I did not know.

@nheudecker “Kates”

@andreisavu Don’t overthink, just do something... even power walking is great.

What's the most time efficient way to exercise? Any interesting research in this area?

@HenryR Is MongoDB still a thing? Does it have a SQL frontend yet? Polyglot persistency mess anyone?

thought leaders are dunking on MongoDB again! the tech industry is healing 🥰

@patrickangeles Hmmm, I think block- and allow-list are also ok to use. I rather struggle with the former. Master/worker? Leader/follower? The borg/borg? Control/task node?

Master/slave terminology sux bc slavery is real and it’s a poor analogy to a sys architecture. But blacklist/whitelist? Too far. It’s like ppl hear “black” & “white” and think race. If u disagree, come at me. I’m listed in the yellow pages.

Reading Twitter and looking at the world, it feels like that moment in a bad movie where I would fast forward to see the end and not waste more time. Where’s the button???
