i still use my TI calculator for the engineering days. It's such a useful piece of hardware. I dont do any big calculations anymore but still gives you that feeling of slowing down without notifications.

Crowdstrike and other tools that have this access is for them to update their agents so that in case they see a ransomware or attack pattern to push it out to as many devices as possible to stem the attack. Do you need all this crazy level of kernel access, probably not, I hope they will have some refactoring efforts in the future.

I have a nice setup with notebooks, on one page I put down the date and my meetings for the day, then i list the tasks i want to get done for the day. I start crossing things off once they are done per project. Went to standup? ok cool cross it off, new task comes in, add it to the list to priortize for the next day. I can go back and see what i've done on every single day and which days i've been in meetings most days. Having a nice pen/pencil really helps.

It’s not a set of up and leave it! You have to continuously monitor and improve! Yes using some cloud service will save XYZ time but doesn’t mean it’s a set it and forget it feature.

I’ll add this is a really good write up ! Love this comment :

“There is no harm in using boring/simple methods if the results are right.”

We highly use messaging queues to power millions of daily transactions and requests. I think it’s because the patterns have been written about and it is no longer a fun hot topic. AWS SQS, Azure Event Hub etc all very standard for what I’ve seen in recent architectural diagrams from many companies.

When I was writing my tech book "A Developer's Guide to .NET in Azure," I had a little trouble getting into a writing streak, but I tried every day for at least 20 minutes to get my thoughts on a page. It's easier when you have a technical book. I built out a templatized format for my chapters, and I could work on the background of the resource, the security, the code example, etc., and then put it together. Keeping your writing simple on some days looked like just making bullet points of ideas and sections, then sitting down another day and formulating them into paragraphs.

Starbucks' emergence as a dominant force in the coffee industry marked the beginning of the second wave of coffee, which transformed coffee from a mere commodity into an artisanal experience. This wave, which began in the latter part of the 20th century, saw Starbucks not only popularizing darker roasts and Italian-inspired espresso drinks but also creating a 'third place' between work and home where people could relax and socialize. The brand's success was built on the idea that coffee could be both a luxury and a part of daily life, a concept that resonated with consumers and led to a significant increase in the price per cup. Starbucks' emphasis on the experience, rather than just the coffee, helped to elevate the status of their brand, making the act of holding a Starbucks cup a statement of sophistication and belonging to a certain lifestyle. This shift in perception was instrumental in changing the way coffee was consumed and perceived worldwide, setting the stage for the third wave of coffee, which focuses even more on the quality and sourcing of coffee beans. I attirbute the loss of revenue for Starbucks as not one of stupid marketing or ridiculous new products as stated in the article but of protest!

deal with a bunch of this right now, no considerations for future growth of system and also dump everything in json and itll be ok ....tech debt in architectural designs is real... and it takes a lot to trim it back and say ok now we are moving to XYZ tool that works and doesnt need to be shiny. Had a chat with a client once and they needed something and i said this looks like itll be a report and they wanted some super duper dashboard but all you needed was a small db + csv extract for charts etc.

most of the farmers work in a small hold farm that may be in part of a cooperative of their piece of land, so the whole family would contribute to any workload.
