@steren wowww no love for intense mint ?

Lindt tier list.

@jon_k_schneider congrats!

I've been writing Java for a quarter of a century. My work is now large-scale modernization and I hope to contribute to the success of Java for another 25. Being acknowledged alongside some of the best Java thinkers is truly a privilege. Thank you! twitter.com/Java_Champions…

@ealeyner @AtomicJarInc @Docker Congrats!

A big day for us here at @AtomicJarInc as we announce that we are now part of @Docker

@steren So. Many. Ads

After a restart of my home PC. Dark patterns, dark patterns everywhere. Microsoft has no shame.

@dashaun @BackstageDX send time and location, I'll make it work!

@pioverpi @BackstageDX Thank you so much for hanging out! It as fun knowing that you were on the other side of the camera! Maybe you will join me some time?

currently watching @dashaun install @BackstageDX , good stuff!

@dashaun @starbuxman do your best, forget the rest!

I've been streaming more lately! On a scale of: 1 (painful/cringe) 10 (@starbuxman) I'm confident that I'm at least a 3, but, I'm trending in the right direction. #everyrepcounts I need 5 more followers to hit the 200-milestone! twitch.tv/javagrunt

@rseroter @googlecloud @gabemonroy congrats!

For some reason, I got promoted to L9, received a new title ("Chief Evangelist at @googlecloud"), and welcomed our terrific doc writers into DevRel. It proves that an excellent team can make almost ANYONE look competent! Thanks to @gabemonroy and many others for their support.

@dwayneforde time to start a startup so i can support my friends, congrats!

Here we go! 🚀 #startup #Founder

@smsohan Oh yeah! I completely forgot that he spent some time at Queen's in Kingston as well

Btw, this is why biography books are interesting. There are small nuggets of unknowns revealed. TIL Elon Musk actually interned at Microsoft, that too in their Toronto office.

Reached the 37th page of a new book in one go. Feels like an achievement after switching to audiobooks and the brain tainted by nonstop digital stimulators.

@gsiener the stress went from 75% to 25% when i got these complyfoam.com/products/apple…

What percentage of your brain is dedicated to worrying about dropping an AirPod down a sewer grate? It’s like 40% for me

@steren it just makes sense

Paper sizes: - A4: perfect ratio (literally) - Letter: not quite, but close enough - Legal: what's wrong with you?

@steren @Waymo thats awesome!

Yesterday, I took my first ever self driving @Waymo ride. The whole experience was very comfortable, not much different from a regular driver. I never felt at risk "in a machine", it felt like other regular ride sharing apps, which is a good thing. Video youtu.be/5wXO05s-pLc

@jacques_chester @StubHub congrats!

@lorenc_dan @immad it just hurts. all. the. time. 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

@immad You're doing it right. They're all lying. If you do it enough your brain will convince you to start lying to everyone too, then eventually you'll believe it.

People say that they feel happy and euphoric after exercise. I feel generally cranky and tired. What am I doing wrong?

@dbrtly_ @rseroter I had some time this afternoon and whipped up a quick demo of how to use it github.com/jama22/gcb-bui… In my tests with a hello world Python app, I shaved ~20 - 30 seconds by enabling a cache image

@pioverpi @rseroter It’ll take me a little while to make a demo version. For clarity, we’re caching “what do I infer I should build” not the actual build itself?

If you *love* writing Dockerfiles, you're a very special person and we celebrate you. The other 99.85% of us look for other ways to get the "containerization" step out of the way. Buildpacks are a good option. Our docs have improved lately: cloud.google.com/docs/buildpack…

@dbrtly_ @rseroter If you got a github repo with some yaml in it i'd be happy to take a look.

@pioverpi @rseroter Hmm. What am I doing wrong…

@jacques_chester @rseroter carrying the torch

@rseroter Fuck yeah buildpacks

@rseroter @dbrtly_ 👋 when using buildpacks locally with the pack CLI, first build will be slow but subsequent builds should be a lot quicker. If you're using something like Cloud Build you'll have to explicitly enable artifact caching by writing a short build.yaml to pass `--cache` flag to pack

@dbrtly_ Good question! Tagging @pioverpi who is lord of buildpacks.
