i struggled to get the build client's aws to get the bill in the $500 range and then wrote up a monster document explaining why it wasn't really possible to go lower than that and, today, the response was "the old wares cost three grand a month on azure. this is fine".

my mother died four years ago, and her cel phone has been sitting, locked, on my dresser ever since. i made four bad pin attempts at it years ago then decided not to push my luck any further.this morning, while making coffee, it suddenly dawned on me what it would be and, behold, it was.here is the lesson: write down your important passwords. put them in a sealed envelope and give them to someone you trust, or the executor of your will or your lawyer. do it today.

debugging is a murder mystery where i am the killer, the bend-the-rules detective, the crusty-but-benign chief who gives "24 hours then all bets are off", the bumbling partner, the clueless witness, the nosy reporter, the grief-stricken but strangely suspicious widow, and the victim.

new plan to please client's investors: hire some guy named 'alfred' or 'albert'. call him 'Al'. then tell all the money people that we use 'Al' for everything and hope they don't notice that second letter is a lowercase 'l' and not an uppercase 'I'."we use Al for deep data analysis. Al writes half our code. we've got Al handling all our customer interactions and he's (uh, i mean "it's") indistinguishable from a human. Al scraped the ice off my windshield this morning. Al makes us coffee".

'full stack' means being able to fix bugs by correctly configuring your nginx.conf or php.ini. i will die on this hill.

pro tip: if you're creating a framework or a distro or something, call it 'opinionated'. that way, if people have complaints, suggestions or feature requests, you can just say "that's not my opinion" and be done.

punk rock is weird. you can be totally original and transgressive, form an octet that does noise rock third wave renditions of ‘the rites of spring’ on power tools and an oboe and everyone is all “that’s rad!”, but if you wear the wrong jacket or boots you’re a total poser.

ftr, iceburn recorded ‘the rites of spring’ with traditional instrumentation plus saxophone but when i saw them at the peoperpot cafe in c. ‘96 that had an angle grinder and an oboe and it was fucking rad. i wore an ma-1 flight jacket and doc 1460s. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp9d1cqn3gM

for clarification, “third wave”, also referred to as “third stream” is a genre that is an admixture of classical and jazz:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_streamit is very punk rock. the rites of spring? also, punk. very much so:
