Microservices, because one big problem wasn’t enough, you needed a hundred small ones talking to each other over unreliable networks 😏

Listen! In this heatwave
we all must do our part
to conserve power:
unplug electronics
and turn off lights,
don’t run big appliances
and set your AC to 78°.
Listen: In this heatwave
we must all do our part
to conserve power:
so the data centers can use it.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day!

My feelings on this Canada day are gratitude, pride and resolve.

I'm grateful that Canadians have banded together to face down threats to our sovereignty both foreign and domestic.

I'm proud of this land and its people. We've always punched above our weight and that's a tradituon that's growing daily.

I feel resolve to tackle the many problems that we still wrestle with in our imperfect union.

Celebrate today with your neighbours and wear the 🍁 maple leaf with pride.

Happy Canada Day!

The Indigenous flag was designed by artist Curtis Wilson (d 2019).

The renowned artist was born and raised in the Ligwilda’xw territories and he was a member of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation in Campbell River.

""Every day is a learning experience we must do our best to pass on the knowledge to our future generations." ~ Curtis Wilson

the worst thing about the World Cup on Canada's TSN TV network has been the Harry Potter commercials from Audible.

I’m currently taking a few days off. Not enough time for others to take over things but enough to try to really disconnect. Today it feels like I have Schrödinger's work. It’s both terrifying and manageable at the same time and will remain that way as long as I don’t look in the box (teams/email.). Unfortunately, on Thursday I will learn if the cat (my sanity) is dead.

Can’t decide whether this sign in the US near Ogdensburg, NY is ironic, sardonic, satire, or just plain mockery.

It's a GR8️⃣ day to welcome Viggo Björck to our Winnipeg Jets family! ✈️

Viggo Bjork is the eighth pick overall for the Winnipeg Jets #HNOM #NHLJets

We'll be watching as the fourth pick gets closer as that was a rumored ask by Winnipeg in exchange fro Bucky. #HNOM #NHLJets

The conversations I have with women in tech spaces are completely different in mixed ones. When a man joins a group women in conversation, the dynamic goes cold.

Men take up so much space.

All Winnipeg Jets fans are glued to the draft today to see if a deal gets done for Connor Hellebuyck #HNOM #NHLJets

Turns out all those crazy hippies who said that CCS was a chimera dreamed up by fossil fuel interests to blunt the urgency of phasing out fossil fuels were right all along! Nothing more irritating than a bunch of hippies who keep turning out to be correct about things, amirite?!
