Five for Friday – July 3, 2020

Another week of random stuff. Let’s see if anything is interesting…

  • There’s a pair of excellent articles from the team at Slack about a recent incident and how they handled it. A Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day at Slack, and All Hands on Deck
  • I think I mentioned last week that I’m learning Rust (for no particular reason). I’m enjoying using codewars for random kata.
  • It’s too bad that this is the last season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D – it’s a fantastic show

While I can certainly afford the change, it’s enough of a change that it’s made me realize that I don’t really have any need for live tv streaming. Between the ESPN bundle I get with Disney+, plus locast, I realized I’ve just been wasting my money.
  • I, for one, am completely unsurprised that Dr. Fauci says that he’s “concerned”. Cover your face, stay farther apart than you think you need to, and stop being stupid.
    Please stay safe and healthy.
