American living in the UK. Go back to visit family in Northern California ever year or two. On the way out (Heathrow) we can get a Pret or similar for more or less the same price as in central London, say £5-7 per person for a medium sized meal. And there are well over a dozen options of similar restaurants.

On the way back (SFO), it’s basically Burger King or one of the airport sandwich shops, and $20+ per person.

I don’t know the details of why it’s one way or the other, but clearly it doesn’t have to be like this!

Geek - obsessive consumer

Nerd - obsessive creator

I must have heard this somewhere but I can’t recall where. In any event, I think most of us are a bit of both but personally I strive to be more of the latter.

1. I don't understand how you can merge/deploy quickly without good test coverage. Unless you don't mind breaking things in production.

2. Feature flagging is pretty key to make the described process possible, and about halfway down it turns out of course this post is really an ad for a feature flagging SaaS product. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, but worth knowing that the motive behind this is to sell you a product.

I was sort of hoping this was someone using Stable Diffusion to render actual Street View content in a BotW style… next project?!

I worked for a US company for a while that had a satellite office in Costa Rica. The street address, translated from Spanish, was "the office above the chicken factory"
