I amazed myself today by finishing a technical take-home in three hours.

It consisted of writing a piece of software from scratch (for me, using golang) that makes continuous writes to a database and inserts an error about 10% of the time.

It also emits counter metrics to a prometheus endpoint when those events happen. With golang runtime because I am a huge nerd.

Oh it also is fully deployable to kubernetes to work with the postgres db and metrics exporter.

Works on my machine... if not a homerun let's hope at least a three-base-hit...

... or a three BASS hit, wubba wubba wubba, come on my selector!!! hire me!!!

Thanks for sharing! I was going to post something like, “Look how brave she is crawling out beyond the parapet of a tall building, or flying into combat armed with nothing but a camera,” but instead, I’ll just say, “Look how brave she is being a confident, capable woman at a time when women were systematically devalued.” #KickingAss #TakingNames
