Non-work banter and water cooler conversation
A place for non-work-related flimflam, faffing, hodge-podge or jibber-jabber you’d prefer to keep out of more focused work-related channels.

New github feature?
Love this feature. People constantly forget to delete their branches after they have merged their pull request.
Some of them for some reason think they need to hold on to them “just in case” without realizing that everything they worked on is still part of the historical record of the trunk branch

https://crossplane.io/ when you very very want to use multi cloud, kubernetes and managed services such as AWS RDS, GCP CloudSQL, etc, it looks promising
I haven’t played with this, but I wanna try
but Gitlab developers already have playing https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/auto-deploy-app/merge_requests/16
Also check out the new Microsoft product, Azure Arc.

I wish… but probably not. Bummer because it’s just a 2 hour drive away
“In October, a woman tweeted about her perplexity upon encountering one such faster: “In an instance of the Bay Area being very Bay Area: today was my first day in SF since moving here, and I ran into someone from my [Y Combinator] batch who told me he was on a ‘dopamine fast’ and thus had to cut our convo short (lest he acquire too much dopamine).”
This is so going to be a topic in the next season of Sillicon Valley (if there is one?)
Already 2 or 3 episodes in
I didn’t know there was a buzzword for the reason I cut out most social media & video games. After going home & trying to decompress it felt like I was time traveling to bed & essentially work the next day. I’m guessing there are also issues with short term reward & long term sense of accomplishment. I’ll give it a read in a few

congrats to our partners at Gravitational!
Too true
All too common in this world
eh it’s a good feature to add - it just should have been added as an optional feature, not as a change - it should be configurable.

Supposedly this feature is being walked back now. I just received the following from their support. I’m ecstatic to hear this and hope their Product Management has reassessed the importance of non-WYSIWYG inputs.
We really appreciate your feedback, and we hear your frustration. We’re sorry for the impact this is having on your ability to communicate with your team and on your overall productivity. We made a mistake by forcing everyone into this feature without providing an opt-out for customers like you: people for whom the existing behavior was working just fine. We’ve started working on a preference that will let you return to the previous message composer. We don’t have a specific release date to share right now — it’s this team’s top and only priority, however, and we expect to have it available on the desktop within a couple of weeks, with Android following shortly thereafter. We will follow up with another note when this option is available to you, and we’ll include instructions on how to enable it. Again, we’re sorry for the disruption and we’re grateful for the feedback. We missed the mark on this feature! We will do our best to learn from this and avoid similar mistakes in the future.
There is hope!

Good response
Yea it was well said
the annoying thing is it would make perfect sense for it to toggle with this option

True…
Well at least, you’ll be de-throned
yeah, something must be wrong with evolution then

My wife put in her preorder! :-)
I think the cyber truck is rad. Finally a car manufacturer bold enough to produce a car that looks futuristic like the concept cars at car shows
i’m waiting until they’re actually delivering, but i’ll probably get one too
I really dislike the fact that superchargers aren’t available on my usual routes. I would fancy a model3
I’ve got a model x and pre-registered. Not sure it will fit on any Belgian road or parking spot, but driving a mars rover, can’t beat that

i feel like the pointy ends on the cybertruck (first mention of cyber i can somehow tolerate) are going to be a road problem for pedestrian injuries. not sure if the car would be allowed on EU roads
