i still use my TI calculator for the engineering days. It's such a useful piece of hardware. I dont do any big calculations anymore but still gives you that feeling of slowing down without notifications.
love the release, ive tried roame a couple of tiems, its hard as a non US card holder sometimes to see all those sweet deals roll by. Keep up the good work team!
Crowdstrike and other tools that have this access is for them to update their agents so that in case they see a ransomware or attack pattern to push it out to as many devices as possible to stem the attack. Do you need all this crazy level of kernel access, probably not, I hope they will have some refactoring efforts in the future.
I have a nice setup with notebooks, on one page I put down the date and my meetings for the day, then i list the tasks i want to get done for the day. I start crossing things off once they are done per project. Went to standup? ok cool cross it off, new task comes in, add it to the list to priortize for the next day. I can go back and see what i've done on every single day and which days i've been in meetings most days. Having a nice pen/pencil really helps.
It’s not a set of up and leave it! You have to continuously monitor and improve! Yes using some cloud service will save XYZ time but doesn’t mean it’s a set it and forget it feature.
I’ll add this is a really good write up ! Love this comment :
“There is no harm in using boring/simple methods if the results are right.”
We highly use messaging queues to power millions of daily transactions and requests. I think it’s because the patterns have been written about and it is no longer a fun hot topic. AWS SQS, Azure Event Hub etc all very standard for what I’ve seen in recent architectural diagrams from many companies.
I find the biggest issues in industry and organizations is so called “tech debt” and no plan for future improvement of a solution as it matures or user base scales. Planning for these is essential.
the free social media app usage in a lot of east african countries is also a means of surveillance... ex (no data counted to your plan when using whataspp, instagram, messenger, facebook etc).
When I was writing my tech book "A Developer's Guide to .NET in Azure," I had a little trouble getting into a writing streak, but I tried every day for at least 20 minutes to get my thoughts on a page. It's easier when you have a technical book. I built out a templatized format for my chapters, and I could work on the background of the resource, the security, the code example, etc., and then put it together. Keeping your writing simple on some days looked like just making bullet points of ideas and sections, then sitting down another day and formulating them into paragraphs.
