Same here. Except we do a two week rotation, and it aligns with our sprints. The active on-call engineer doesn’t have any assigned sprint work and focuses their effort on fixing bugs or cleaning up the backlog when they’re not actively triaging an incident.

Kotlin would be awesome!

Yea, I've basically just swapped to the BNPL lenders because they don't charge compounding late fees if I decide not to pay the bill off.

I like that the loans are a fixed schedule and have no compounding interest, fees, or ways to get me into further debt beyond paying what I committed to pay.

I’m replying only because I worked at Tellme, and I’m happy other people remember it still! :)

In the early 00s I designed and wrote a system that procured abandoned domain names, analyzed them for SEO purposes (existing pagerank scores, inbound traffic from other respectable domains, etc) and then generated a web of links and artificial content designed purely to sell ads and boost other client domains. The part I enjoyed the most was automating Apache and systems administration work for the server farm, but I regret working on it. I was broke and desperate at 20, and I ended up quitting the job after a few months anyway.

Yea. My equity has been dismal. The benefits are fantastic though.

I’m proud of myself for getting all the way through TIS-100, and I think I still hold the records amongst my few peers who tried it.

Hah, I had a mac360! I used it when working on some early Kinect voice-recognition stuff.

This is why I prefer wholesale lenders and the independent mortgage broker channel. Prices are better for me, period.

Yea I will never not use a mortgage broker again. The middleman and wholesale pricing is worth it!

I left YNAB when they pulled the bait & switch on pricing with their oldest customers last year. I’ve been looking for something to replace it for awhile now, so I’m going to try this out.

Thanks for sharing this lovely story! Our whole family was captivated as I read it aloud :). Congrats on the birth of your son and best wishes to all!
