jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron @AnandWrites "Look, I won't answer to or acknowledge my own deep unpopularity, or try to change my behaviour to address it. I just assume that incumbent advantage and name recognition will suffice."

@jmoiron @chimeracoder Being a night owl is who likes the sun is intensely frustrating.

@jmoiron @jordanorelli I agree re: 80s kid room photos, but as a counterpoint they had Apple //e's in my public school in the 80s... I don't know how common that was, but eg. "dying of dysentery" is a meme people know about.

@jmoiron @jasonhevans You know the answer :)

@jmoiron Helshire beach, and the curry fish and lobster we had there, is probably my favourite memory of Jamaica; deeply sad to read that it's been eviscerated by climate change https://t.co/yd23H6if1B

@jmoiron RT @jbouie: this sounds a little basic but i think people across the political spectrum have a hard time with the sheer size of this countr…

@jmoiron @grabbins Bet you love the new google logos.

@jmoiron Kinda hilarious that "political activist group" Project Veritas has less credibility than Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.

@jmoiron @peterbourgon I'd add email, grpc, and pgp

@jmoiron @chsiedentop @jpakkane Rust's Option definitely lets the happy path shine. I think more of the behaviour of the Go code is explicit in its structure and there are fewer elements interacting, but I agree they're all readable.

@jmoiron @benbjohnson @bryanl It's this bike. Works great when the road you want fits. https://t.co/oY3ctXfJId

@jmoiron @benjaminws @nerdsane Well, if it's "just" hard, then we can still do it! "They're always this" is fatalist IMHO. I still think the best outcome is a system directly on top of the k8s API focused on composable/reusable abstractions. This was the goal, we just didn't get there.

@jmoiron I wrote about C++ and how it's still ugly and confusing to me https://t.co/KAmiAjyQXp

@jmoiron @billychasen You've met new people?

@jmoiron @nerdsane The optimist in me still wants to believe "we've tried this a lot, but it's really hard, so we've failed on some level" rather than "this is as good as it gets."

@jmoiron It's been about 2 1/2 years since I wrote "Is K8s Too Complicated?" and things haven't changed much on that front. Two possibilities: the complexities are irreducible, or it is hard to build meaningful abstractions on the platform.

@jmoiron HashiCorp stuff is, among other things, an opportunity to use HCL instead of YAML and there's always a part of me that thinks "yeah that's probably worth it alone"

@jmoiron RT @nickrwebb: The rivers of the Solar System https://t.co/D4rTiEvmBZ via @YouTube

@jmoiron RT @AOC: Pence demanding that Harris answer *his* own personal questions when he won’t even answer the moderator’s is gross, and exemplary…

@jmoiron @16kRAM Is that @Koenig_Software in the third photo?

@jmoiron This is a common sentiment. The performance work that makes this approach successful is a positive externality that is easy to take for granted. https://t.co/UBRWu89CaX

@jmoiron 裏切り者 https://t.co/t1P8VRDDpz

@jmoiron Also I've been to Vietnam several times and the food is fucking awesome, so joke is on that guy, whose bio is still up on my university's site as a .doc with the font sent to comic sans.

@jmoiron On encouragement, the prof for my sr. project said outsourcing would kill programming jobs for gearheads like me, leaving only mgmt jobs like his. At the end-project 1-1 he told me "You will have to move to Vietnam" and "I hope you like rice" to which I replied "i LOVE rice." htt...
