Thanks Jonathan! Awesome to hear that you're excited about the auction.
Great questions on the auction system dashboard. The left gray box indicates how many GPUs are available for on-demand access. So in your specific example, 688/1464 GPUs means that 688 GPUs (out of a total available pool of 1464 H100s) are ready to be rented. Finally, the 1040 GPUs and 8 GPUs all indicate GPUs that are currently being allocated to customers.
1) That's sort of a tangential point. Maybe I wasn't clear in my original statement. But meetings that start immediately without any sort of ease-in, even if they are started on time (to your point), often feel really transactional. We're all working with other humans, not other robots! Remote work creates much less opportunity to connect with each other. Virtual meetings are one of the few times we do see our team face-to-face. And we should realize that socializing a bit can be just as productive as talking about actual "business". Icebreakers (even if the term sounds "cringe") are really helpful in that regard.
2) Agreed, your coworkers don't necessarily need to be your friends. At the same time, they also shouldn't be reduced to robots or black boxes that you interact with only when you need something from them. They're humans! As social creatures, we tend to work better with people when we trust them. Often, that trust is built on liking and/or respecting the other person. That's where icebreakers can be really important too.

It was because I wanted to host and serve my website via Github Pages rather than go with a managed hosting provider. As my post exemplifies, that was a mistake.
For my purposes (set up a simple blog and get it running), I truly don't think that I need, or should, have to learn the ins and outs of the tech stack. In fact I chose WordPress specifically _because_ I wanted it to abstract most of the implementation details away from me.
I don't think this is true for development generally.
I've never heard of Laravel before - checking it out now.
I wanted to use Github Pages because I had my previous site on Github Pages. GH Pages was easy to setup and provided good hosting/serving for free. I wanted the same for my new Wordpress site and naively thought I could make it work.
