    The /r/ubiquiti subreddit has been going back and forth the last few days on who can make the shortest ethernet cable and it’s been seriously cracking me up.

    Pretty incredible thread where Elon confuses how GraphQL works, thinks the Android client itself is making one thousand requests, and then publicly fires an employee who corrects him. Twitter's doing great, tho

    Companies who have dropped their production database because they accidentally ran code in the wrong environment: Amazon, DigitalOcean, GitHub, GitLab, Travis… the list goes on. Just a reminder that “smarter” people than you still make those “basic mistakes”. And that’s okay.

    1. Try something new 2. Read all the advice from experts 3. Nod and say “sure, no problem” 4. Make all the mistakes anyway 5. Finally understand for yourself what that advice really meant 6. Advise beginners not to do that thing 7. Repeat

    Was talking recently with a friend about how hard it is to write blog posts and give talks these days. The longer you’re in the tech industry the more your opinions end up being “well it depends” and “I’m not sure”. These don’t quite make for good blog posts, hah.
