When boarding a plane, am I crazy in holding back to let those requiring assistance board first? I've just had a lot of annoyed looks from people in priority boarding groups and I'm just "maybe look around"

Good news, or next year we have giant mutant killer bees. Honestly I'm okay with either at this point.

I've been on it for a few months now. I notice two things; I am losing weight very slowly (around 0.25kg/week, average), but I don't care because suddenly eating well isn't a constant fight against cravings.

So yes I'd love better food regulation but we can do more than one thing.

Technically yes, realistically I doubt anyone has the time to dig much into side-projects

To clarify: you're baptizing other sealife in Florida, or you're baptizing octopi but not in Florida?

Exactly this - Cloud products are often polished versions of tools developed internally.

It's not by any means 1:1, but there are fairly clear parallels.

My personal opinion - a lot of internal tools were developed before or at the same time as industry standard tooling, and so there's limited value then replacing them with tools that would need to be licensed.

I'll bite - what's your suggested interview plan, rubrics, and hire/no-hire conditions (as in, what does good look like, what does a failure look like)?

I've done it, a very long time ago. Took a week off my existing job, although I was in a position where there was no exclusivity clause in my contract.

I'd assumed they put it on HDD. S3 at least is designed for retention.

Honestly it's not the price, it's that I think replacing public space with private space, on an already busy deck, was in poor taste.
