Everyone else: “Dogfood update: features w,x,y,z are all working great in the latest build”

Mike ShewardWas teaching a coworker Terraform today, the question was asked:
“So what happens if changes are made to something that was spun up with Terraform via the AWS console?”
The answer, of course, is that no one is really sure because the second they do it they lose access to the AWS console forever.

These kinda look like Evil Ice Cones. Gonna make a few more and ask my wife to paint them up like frosted chaotic cupcakes. #steampunk #3dprinting #cosplay
Me to other dad at kids birthday party: “so you work in tech.”
Other dad: “yeah how did you know?”
Me: “your eyes are those of a tortured soul who is constantly being pushed to do more, with less, in pursuit of an always moving goal that you can never achieve. All the while being made to attend mandatory sessions to set objectives and key results that should align with a top down vision that constantly changes anyway.”
Other dad: “woah.”
Me: “also the splunk t-shirt.”
As far as I'm concerned, the hardest part about teaching a technical course is "Day 0: Laptop Setup". When students bring their own devices, you have very little control over the environment:
- "work laptop, I can't get VMWare to install"
- "I run Redhat - do you have something for that?"
- <Virtual Network Troubleshooting Terror>
To avoid this in the future, I've been tinkering with JupyterHub and Code-Server to provide a "DIY Github Codespaces" experience.
What I'm realizing now is, this is also perfect for engineers who work a companies that:
- Won't let them have local admin to manage their dev tools
- Don't have the budget for Codespaces
My favorite part is integrating Github OAuth. If you're a member of my Github Org, you can get to work.
Here's a copy of the configs I used to get things up and running... https://github.com/hashtagcyber/coderhubK8s
In preparation for #Teslacon , I’m working on a giant drill weapon for a friend. After owning multiple “budget” 3d printers (Ender3, Davinci 1.0 converted to RAMPS), I finally understand how people are able to crank out flawless prints… it’s called, “spend more than $300 on a printer”. We bought the Bambu P1S, and now my other two printers are now pretty much “just for prototypes when the bambu is busy” #steampunk #3dprinting
My partner and I already have way too much stuff in the house. Instead of gifts, we just take the day off for each other. Today we painted and prepped for a craft show. If you’ve never spent all day hunched over a kitchen table, you’re in for a surprise lesson in “Ergonomics matter everywhere”. Back is sore, but I did manage to get a few Meeeseeks boxes painted while we listened to Fourth Wing.
