Manual tests in my minikube and has skills to deploy the right service there. It updates the jira ticket with test proof.
For debugging flows I build skills to use my local minikube that has our full dev environment and all services running. Can debug there. It has grafana skills for gcx can grab logs and through grafana even accesss dev/staging db for quering.
I wrote all the extensions with these custom integrations. It works just like I would work... I don't like adapting myself to another opinionated harness. I prefer my own opinionated workflows.
We also do this at work. I am here to do a job. Just keep it focused on the professional side. I don't need to be your best friend. Or share the same religion or political beliefs. At work, I come together to reach a common goal.
But that said, I hate people enforcing diversity for diversity's sake. They are actually introducing politics on the work floor.
1/ Being "safer" using public wifis. I use 5g hotspot to my phone to avoid that. 2/ Proxy to other countries for streaming reasons. Still use it for this.
All the rest is just bogus marketing speak.
Not in Europe no Sir ;)
What I do like about reddit. It is still one place where you just use an email address and nick name. So you can be anonymous. Or reasonable anonymous. No one looking back 10 years back into your posts to cancel you for something you said that in that time maybe was not an issue.
I was so reluctant making a Facebook account back in the day because they wanted your REAL identity. Man I was a nickname on irc or on the internet in general. That was what I loved about it.
Usenet was the same you could just use throw away email account and just say whatever. Ask whatever without being scared.
Reddit is the only place where you still can do that.
But if he is French and that is connected to the Latin hence he had good(weird?) vocabulary. English vocab is also mostly derived from Latin.
"80% of the words in the English dictionary are Latin derived."
Over time your vocabulary gets much wider. I have native English speakers asking me where I got certain words from because they are not often used spoken.
Another trick is when you write look up synonyms instead of using the same word over and over again.
But in the words you dropped I learned at least 1 new one. To simper :)
Everyone zoom calls all the time where I can hear other people in other zoom meetings in our zoom meeting. I hate it.
when we worked full remote. We gave a stipend to setup with proper microphone/headphone setup. We requested people to sit in a quiet location for meetings. Worked wonderful...
this hybrid shit just makes everything much worse....
You either go full remote and organize yourself around async and better written communication. Or you all sit in the office the whole time and much of the comms is just talk. The in between sucks.
I worked full remote and it works fine. Teams were working well, information flowed, blockers were dealt with. We didn't even use our cameras in meetings. Now I worked for 1 month hybrid and am quitting. This has all the downsides from both remote and on site working.
Helped me with one thing though. Stopped consuming news. Suddenly I feel more happy and grounded :)
I was working in a well paid IT job almost living from pay check to pay check. Now I work remote for a lower pay and most of it just goes in my retirement savings.
Not sure what my point is but there are alternatives...
Coc seems like a law thing but who is enforcing it? Laws you have democratic elected people voting which laws, you have police checking if people follow them, courts giving out punishment. See they are 3 separate entities for a reason. Coc is written by the org, enforced by the org an punished by said org. Doesn't seem like an improvement.

These days I just do it for a living mostly. CRUD code, arbitrary complex systems because of governance/compliance. It is all a bit boring. It is a how I make a good bundle of money.
On the side I build custom motorcycles. Older ones... I buy an engine that is as mechanical as possible. Easy to fix/maintain etc. Then I do metal fabrication and build a bike around it. For hours I can tinkering with this. Just as I did over 25+ years ago with my computers.
what I wat to say is you still need people to do this so they can dive deep into the abstractions. Bit how people are able to drive their car, maybe know highlevel how the engine works. But are not able to build or maintain one :)
Learning to program for example Perl. I had the learning book, the reference book and the cookbook. learning I did once, the reference had post its on it and was on my work desk. The cookbook was more the facebook type you read it on the toilet.
They had books on everything that were the industry standard. DNS, Apache, Javascript, ... The revised them regularly. For Js had the 1st, 2nd, 3rd edition. I know this sounds all ancients like real paper books. But even work had O'reilly subscription so you could order what you need.
For me it was O'reilly books, man pages. But lets not forget when you installed Linux like RedHat (not fedora yet) you could install the linux howtos. Oh boy did I learn a lot from them too: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html
Finally there was IRC if you were stuck but this was off course the internet stage. I just went online to ask a question, dialup was expensive ;)
