@Klutzleo A project is crucial, otherwise you're just working in a vacuum. Medium sized open-source projects are ideal, as your code will be held to very high standards, they force you to write docs, tests, etc.
A lot of github projects tag their issues with something like "ideal for 1st time contributors" - maybe your favourite module / library does too?

@caztastrophe @ian "Here's why": go on, except you're talking to your employer's board of directors, and you like your job.

@dsimon Too late. Were deploying zookeeper to GCP using Managed Instance Groups. We need you on this zoom call asap.

@SwiftOnSecurity Don't even clean it out; add more crap and just bring it to a boil to sanitise it. In no time you'll know your butchers first name, while buying random bones and chicken feet.

Gonna write this up in longer form, but folks complaining that the $45bn Ukraine costs are high miss two key points:

1. The direct costs in (US) military aid are surprisingly small; in the order of $19bn this year, and $10.8bn committed (so far) for next year

2. The indirect economic costs of the Russian war to the US economy (i.e. to the private sector not via the government) are in the order of $600-700bn per year. To pick a random company, it's nearly $6-10bn in costs to Apple *alone*.
