I'm a professional yak barber, code butcher, and occasional engineer in San Francisco. Recently been doing a lot of ruby, typescript, and AWS-ish stuff, mostly for tiny startups. Currently at a stealth startup.
I found a hookup for *good* cider in San Francisco and I am unreasonably excited about it.
Starting all my slack standups this way until further notice.
I've been getting into sourdough making recently. I'll try not to turn this into a breadposting channel, but I finally got a load I'm pretty happy with :)
My short stint as a manager
I look back fondly on the time I decided to do “a comic per day" for almost a month. It was grueling, but it's nice to go revisit the dumb ass stuff I made.

Today in Boring Adult Tricks©, I've developed a new Steak Strategy.

I've priced out a bunch of strategies for getting steak into my house: all the subscription services and all the grocery stores near me on instacart. It turns out that, both on average and in general, Costco is by far the cheapest.

So now I'm investing in a vacuum sealer and probably a chest freezer so I can just stock up once a quarter and have meat to cook whenever I want. Already seeing far less spoilage.

I am, once again, at the D&D BBQ joint.
I've had long hair since I was a teen. Been rocking a ponytail for a solid 15 years. But now that I'm fighting a receding hairline and a nascent bald spot…
Alright, looks like this 20-line ruby script will delete 500k log groups per day. Just gonna leave this running and call it good enough!
Anyone know how to bulk delete several million cloudwatch log groups when the AWS web UI won't load more than a handful at a time? Asking for...a friend.
