@The7Line @The7LineArmy ARMY! Who's got 2 x $95-ers left for me?
English

Some are left to Wednesday in @The7LineArmy sections on Mets.com/The7ineArmy. The Mets are using dynamic pricing, so it's been fluctuating. If you happen to be buying tickets on the side from a member of ours, those have a face value of $95, and that is what they should be charging you.

@raywongy Surprised nobody tried this until now.
That hole just begged for it.

@jameygannon tell me you never use your freezer without telling me you never use your freezer..

@kentcdodds Serve Site A as HTTPS locally, create a DNS record on the Prod VPC for each dev env that points to each dev machine (xdev.prodapp.com), setup a new dynamic media root path just like for any other environment, create a self-signed cert for each dev machine.

@cnakazawa As a junior, I accidentally pushed a broken JavaScript library I was tasked with de-obfuscating and brought down one of Top 20 most-visited websites on the internet for about 10 minutes... The amount of revenue lost was close to my monthly salary!
English

Early in my career I broke Facebook Chat (pre Messenger) for all IE users. Couldn't sleep all night afterwards.
However, one of the most interesting issues I caused was when I removed about 300,000 duplicated files in Facebook's monorepo and pointed everything to the remaining copies. I went to sleep and woke up the next day with angry messages on my phone: I made facebook.com 1.2 seconds slower to load!
How? Facebook's bundler used machine learning to optimize JS bundles. That bundler was relying on paths for JS files, and it didn't track changes like mine. So when I pushed my change, the bundler was under the impression that all those files were new and basically unbundled them and sent them to users as individual files instead of JS bundles!
Given the scale Facebook was operating at, and some issues in the Python based Mercurial client (which have since been replaced), it took about an hour to merge my PR into main. The revert to make facebook.com fast took a three people team 12 hours to complete. Afterwards an intern and I redid the initial work by also patching the bundler's paths correctly.
I caused other large issues, but this one is my best bad one. It worked while testing, could not have been noticed in development since the bundling infrastructure was different, and basically only one person at the company would have known this issue could have been caused.

I would love to hear stories from senior+ engineers who pushed fuck ups to prod to know I’m not crazy for feeling some type of way to be told my code quality is poor due to code pushed to prod that I quickly fixed when I found the issues . Just wanna know if this is something common . Also PR requires 2 approvals.

@JMincone "Mets agreeing to pay a significant portion of the $93 million still owed to Verlander through 2025, according to an official with direct knowledge of the deal."

So the Mets just sent Justin Verlander to Houston straight up for Gilbert and Clifford, who may end up being the better of the two, and no cash involved, and I’m seeing complaints from some Mets fans?! What?! #LGM
English

@Hollander16Paul @martinonyc I think it's hard for people to wrap their heads around giving Max Scherzer AND money, when really they were going to have to pay more than that anyways if Scherzer didn't opt-out (which he probably wouldn't have)..
English

@martinonyc Why is everyone hung up on the money? It’s not your money and Cohen stated he has no problem eating money to move players
English

@Amont22 @martinonyc @mlbtraderumors They were going to pay $59M since Scherzer wasn't likely to exercise his player option and become a free agent to try and get more than his guaranteed $43.3M.
English

@martinonyc @mlbtraderumors So, they paid $35.5 million for Acuna’s brother?

@TheOfficial_CSS @PSLToFlushing '23 payroll was *$334 pre-tax not $364
English

@TheOfficial_CSS @PSLToFlushing For '24, >$237M counts for Luxury Tax.
$237-257M
(Y1: 20%, Y2: 30%, Y3+: 50%)
$257-277M
(Y1: 32%, Y2: 42%, Y3+: 62%)
$277-297M
(Y1: 62.5%, Y2: 75%, Y3+: 95%)
$297M+
(Y1: 60%, Y2: 80%, Y3+: 105%)
Next yr. will be Y2 %s vs. Y1 so even if total payroll < $364, tax could be more.
English

@TheOfficial_CSS @PSLToFlushing Yes, and no. It reduces the total salary subject to tax slightly, but we're still massively over, and the penalties increase each consecutive year of being over.
English

@_eschie @PSLToFlushing And does this mean the Mets could potentially avoid luxury tax penalties for 2023?
