Also, how to exit vim

Anyone else ever accidentally build an entire platform because no one told them not to?

Just me then?

Watch Nita build her own platform, one absent boss at a time.

I've got some time to kill and lots of love to share, unfortunately it's all coming out as a series of posts on how to do platform engineering. Have a read, or not. At least there's Keepy Uppy 🎈

😈: Quiet, quiet. I'd like to bring this meeting to order. We're sorry we had to bring you all in like this under false pretenses
👹: What's going on Stan? I was just at your kids birthday
😈: I said quiet Stan. We were all at my kids birthday, it was at your mom's house. Word came up from downstairs, we lost the Anthropic account and Sam's pissed. He's going to take us off his OpenAI account too if we can't get sales back up. I have to let half of you go. Revenue tanked once they learned about our little RHLF trick
👹: But why'd you have to make us drive all the way to Montana to a dude ranch to tell us?
👿: Boss said take them to the worst place in the world and Denny's was oddly closed
