Canadian English isn't that far off, especially in a lot of the spelling...

The other huge spike was in nitrogen-based fertilizer that went up something like 3x ($0.40/lb -> $1.20/lb) during the pandemic

Shit happens. What makes this so interesting is the speed at which the shit tsnuami spread. Try rolling out a little more slowly so less of the world gets affected.

For those affected, consider it a relatively painless test of your DR systems, and a chance to fix 'em up.

I'm surprised at the lack of skepticism. I would instantly assume a ton a barium and canaries in whatever docs were dropped (so conveniently).

Yes, it's at the end of the document. Penalties will be assessed once fact discovery is complete. Monetary damages of legal costs related to this issue are to be presented to the court by the plaintiff.

The latest version 2.6 has an issue where it can lose track of the cluster state, rendering it useless. (You had one job Rancher).

Datadog for the win in dark-pattern land.

Love the software, hate the billing.

Hopefully your manager has noticed and you'll have a chat. If you trust each other, which isn't a given, tell them what's going on.

Especially during the pandemic, I've had people go through varying levels of productivity. Maybe it's depression, boredom, personal stuff, burnout, whatever. We're human beings.

I've been allow to institute mental health days - if the month doesn't have a (US) federal holiday, book a day off. If you're really burning out, let's see what we can do about that - also involves time off.

Depending on what area you're in (I'm in devops), it costs probably 6 months of your salary to replace you, plus it's hard, and all your knowledge leaves with you. Plus people remember when you back them up - it means a lot on a human level.

It's been done for me and I do my best to pass it on.

Good luck.
