The third party plugin community is fantastic as well, I use it for GMing TTRPG sessions and I have a pretty powerful workflow built out.

rpm. If your systems are built around rpm already that alone is a good enough reason.

It was a cool idea in theory. One cable for everything! And then you realize that you still have to worry about power, KVM (or a dedicated IPMI), and any other potential add ons. Emulex worked on getting their chips as on board NICs, which would have been neat for that, but honestly the performance and lack of upgradability couldn't compete with add-on cards.

FCoE (fibre channel over ethernet) was similar. Not only was it an amalgamation of arguably incompatible standards, but it was an unusual use case. If you needed data security / reliability, etc you could go FC. If you needed a cheap data protocol you could go iSCSI.

Absolutely not, adwords already does this with gclid, and Bing with... mkclid I believe, fbclid will be nice to have and be a convenience for those who data warehouse their own ad data.

If this wasn't Facebook this wouldn't be news, gclid has been around for years.

Because backing up stuff is super easy, but no one actually tests restoring data until they need to do it live.

I ask: 'Tell me about a problem that was particularly challenging'

I'd love for someone to tell me a story about something they couldn't solve (or at least not the way they wanted to).

If they can't come up with something, which is rare, I ask them to tell me about something that was fun for them.

They are not wrong in that it is bundled with the MkIII. But I feel like the demographic that purchases the MkIII aren't getting the 24-105 with it 'just cause'

What? the 24-105 is an L lens and a solid walk around choice. I bought the 24-105 well before upgrading my body. Are you thinking of the 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6?

Understanding the customer value of your work. This is one of the biggest thing I see devs missing. Yes, developers are primarily responsible for the 'how' and 'when' for new features, but they should always be questioning the 'what' and 'why' as well.

I hit this recently with my personal website and it sucks. Luckily no one visits my website.

I think saying "no problem" is kinda rude, but it's so ingrained in me / the people around me, that I've found it easier to replace with "no worries" instead of "You're welcome".

In my last role we would often need to upload large amounts of data for our clients to AWS. When this data got into the terabytes we would ship a NAS box to our customer and then send that to Amazon. On more than one occasion Amazon fubar'ed the upload on their end (why would you move drives around in a RAID 5/6 array?). Maybe since this is AWS branded solution it will be more reliable.

I'm going to have to disagree. DateTime is pretty limited, especially when it comes to timezones. I highly recommend NodaTime instead.

The Varidesk is a very nice (and relatively cheap) solution. It's also surprisingly easy to adjust the height despite the weight. My only complaint is that you still need to put your monitors on a stand to get them high enough (for me at least).
