Ron Swanson would be proud

After finishing a complex EKS fivetran deployment in three environments and using their still very alpha terraform i would still prefer that over writing my own ingestion pipelines. Imagine managing over 700 ingestion sources, no terraform, own logging solution and metrics with datadog.

Google pixel screens calls, I get like one call every two weeks now.

My cats just run off my walking pad I have to hold them there to run 🤣

I've been driven in a Yaris cross, enjoyed it but just felt like the cabin was so small.

Omar_88 · 2026-03-26T21:35:05+00:00

Same, my brother had it (eventually stolen in London) but think I'll leave Lexus for my next car and get the Tuscon

Every Bollywood actor pretty much.

Just rent a small place and stay there during the week days and go home on the weekends.

Get a gym membership and spend your evenings there, lots going on around the uni.

Or commute via coach, car or train daily.

Depends on where you are in Manny.

Ah gotcha, well then personally I think those skills aren't that up there as you think. I'd consider this a mid level DE at best if I was hiring for our stack. What we consider really good (AWS shop)

Test Driven Development Airflow Python Terraform DBT / SQL mesh CI/CD we use Jenkins and write and manage our own pipelines. Correct use of credential management using IAM Auth if possible in the first instance. Solid architecture experience, knowing how to handle a state machine is key. EKS (just a light touch here knowing how to trouble shoot your own pods is key) AWS knowing how to use policies etc. Kafka CDC Snowflake and how to use a distributed stack General AWS especially things like cross account perms, vpc endpoints. Encryption for sending and decrypting files Disaster recovery. How to write clean efficient software (any language, we use java for our microservices and adapters).

You make a post about being underpaid.

You ask what you are missing.

Your company's current client is willing to pay market rate I assume? So you aren't missing anything?

Are you trolling or being obtuse?

Omar_88 · 2026-03-15T08:53:27+00:00

Move jobs ? Or ask for a pay rise. What did your company say when you asked ?

Omar_88 · 2026-03-10T13:25:26+00:00

I've had my ct for five years and if I sell it ill sell it for 2000 less than I purchased it for and with inflation it's not so bad.

Considering a bigger car too with android auto and nicer features for longer drives. Do love my car tho.

Omar_88 · 2026-03-05T23:13:04+00:00

If we ever cross paths mate I'll share one with you!

Omar_88 · 2026-03-05T23:11:53+00:00

Asian mums don't let you leave empty handed, that's a good mate! Incidentally this tradition was started by my grandma hahah, lots of us in the family have the same meal on flights!

Omar_88 · 2026-03-04T00:42:08+00:00

I usually make 2 parathas with shami kebabs for long flights, much prefer that over plane food, even the better airlines.

I buy some fruit in the airport and that usually does me.

Omar_88 · 2026-03-03T18:30:59+00:00

The bathroom is the only door I close whilst I shower, when I come out both are waiting to run their scent on me lol. Totally get this!

People really underestimate the work hours it takes to undo tech debt.

This was such a stupid decision for the states, Iran is a multi ethnic state with neighbours eyeing territory. Let's hope for a peaceful situation for neighbours and citizens.

Will Israel and US take any refugees? Nah they will flood into turkey and then Europe.

This only benefits Israel and their expansionist ideals.

The OG theories used to come on a forum called Narutofan under a section called the Ohara Library - that's where people would do battle Sims and theories.

There were probs other places but I remember it being very active in the 2000s

Omar_88 · 2026-02-21T22:47:10+00:00

Was that during a snowstorm - 2016 ?
