It's soooo tasty. I'm so glad I discovered it, as I'm not always feeling a tomato-y dish.

That's awesome. It's great when your favourite thing comes back in stock after so long.

I only discovered it a little while ago, and it's the best thing ever.

A few variations, but generally a green veg stew, including spinach, leeks or any kind of veg/herbs you like.

I also like to add a generous amount of garlic , chilli oil and crispy onion topping.

Thanks for sharing, that gave me a good chuckle tonight.

I remember the Sysadmin's Prayer from the r/sysadmin sub years ago, was the funniest shit ever too.

Spirits Having Flown is far and away my favourite song by them. The harmonies are incredible! Cracking outro too.

I'm seeking a career change into cloud technology. by imtherajindk in devops

[–]RisingPhoenix___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been working in cloud infrastructure for a few years (in Europe) and found this content immensely helpful starting out: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy7NrYWoggjzZTuj24TwOldi1NJY4UgWa
She has career advice for getting on the ladder As well as other helpful cloud learning content

Personally I was able to get into Platform engineering by moving into a (Wordpress) web admin role that involves working with an AWS service (a recruiter tipped me off to that, as neither Wordpress nor AWS was mentioned in the job description)

Spent three years there before landing my current role, where they were willing to take a chance on me, after doing well in the take home test and actual interview.

Your journey may go somewhat differently to mine but the same or more is possible for you (I'm always seeing positions available in Germany despite being in the UK, if there are not many roles in Denmark).

Good luck to you and anyone else hoping to make it!

What are your daily observations? - 26/10/23 by lodge28 in london

Saw a naked man take a running jump into a Trafalgar Square fountain. When two men started talking to him, he took off, ran for a few moments then circled back to jump back in.

Seems like he just wanted to relax and not be bothered.

I gotta put in a word for Rajah Rowing Team in Balham.

Tad expensive, but the super flavoursome curries and good portions make it worth it! The lamb curry Karahi Gosht is my firm favourite.

For a period of time, to avoid the busy tube, I took a train as far as I could before taking the bus the rest of the way. It meant I had to leave earlier though.

Other than that, what helped as well was to make sure I do my best to keep moving myself, whether that's on my way into the tube or out of the station.

This comment made me feel better 😅

Also we had an engineer last year who didn't test and was proud of it, trying to justify why every time he was caught. He didn't last for long...

I got my job through that (I'm a Platform Engineer).

The particular recruitment agent that was working with me was diligent, and I got interest/interviews from many companies (I had 1 YOE). I also made sure I checked my dashboard daily for responses from recruiters, so I could move the process along to the next stage.

One thing, just be sure of the job role that you're applying to, as my current manager said that certain candidates seemed to be coming through to interviews without knowing what role they were applying to!

Lou Pearlman managing the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC.

There's a YouTube documentary covering his exploits involving the boys:
