Honestly doubt that he was disabled due to the content of his posts, seems more like an unrelated error on FB's side.

Why would you use Snowflake over just straight Google Cloud or AWS?

This looks excellent. Can easily see this vertically integrating across Azure to become a strong competitor to AWS + Lambda.

you can't scroll all the way down as it's a 3-part series and this is only the first part.

sorry that you had these experiences, i can relate to aspects of them as well.

each meeting can be quite different. i had to try 10-20 of them in my city to find a few that were on my wavelength.

i don't attend aa meetings as often as i used to in early sobriety, but i still go if i have a friend that's struggling and want to open this resource to them.

at every meeting, there are things that people say that resonate and things that are cringe-worthy or even inflammatory.

part of the meditation and process is being able to be hear and react to everyone's words with equanimity.

recovering addict here. some words for those who may be struggling.

i tried a number of things over many years (life coach, therapy, meditation retreats, ayahuasca, ibogaine, etc).

i reached a bottom, and nothing i had tried really worked or stuck. kept relapsing after a few months of sobriety at most.

ultimately it was going to AA that i largely credit to my successful transformation into a happy life of sobriety.

if you're not sure if it's right for you and struggling with addiction, i highly recommend having an open mind, and trying 90 meetings and 90 days. see how you feel after. it's the daily practice that is transformative.

there is something powerful about being focused on a purpose with a group of similarly motivated people.

the people in the rooms of AA understand the challenge you're facing in a way that friends and family often don't.

you quickly realize that the 'higher power' thing is a pretty easy to move beyond, regardless of your religious orientation. a 'higher power' can even be a conceptual device - e.g. the wisdom of the people in your meeting who have achieved a life of sobriety.

it's also not to say that AA in itself is a savior. it's a healthy component to integrate as part of a balanced recovery of body, mind, and spirit.

eating well, exercising often, and finding ways to be helpful are other important pillars to incorporate along your journey.

good luck, be well.
