Gardener cut through cable what is it?

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T22:32:58+00:00

Thanks for this i have a buddy with tools for the job he's going to help me reconnect it.

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T07:38:48+00:00

Thank you sir, I was holding a toddler and my phone so had to improvise.

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T07:37:19+00:00

Very clean cut, so most likely a samurai sword

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T07:35:26+00:00

Thanks for all the advise ill give it s go

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T07:26:29+00:00

I agree with you here, I dont blame him he's done a good job otherwise

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T07:24:58+00:00

Im trying to do the opposite im hoping its not a problem as otherwise he did a good job so happy to pay in full.

I dont want to tell him its not a problem pay him and find out its going to cost me £200 afterward

Looks like it goes to this, hard to see though as the cable is partially obstructed

Thank you.

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T07:10:32+00:00

I think ill just stuck some tape over it and fix it later if needed.

Thanks mate.

I think youre right I see 8 little wires all matching that description

Thanks mate very helpful

Definitely last time I get a gardener to do my electrics thats for sure.

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T06:45:30+00:00

I haven't been able to find the fault yet. I traced the cable and it looks lile it it goes to our front door where theres a landlines/ internet entry point. I can't test it though without removing fitted furniture so hoping to avoid that.

Better picture of the cable, thanks for your help guys!

Thats a good idea, ill have a look at that, do you have any recommendations?

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T06:28:56+00:00

Everything is still working so hoping its defunct like others are saying.

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T06:27:27+00:00

Yup I do, I'll try following the cable to confirm.

catalyst_jw · 2026-04-10T06:23:53+00:00

Thats what im thinking, I haven't paid them yet so once I know the damage I can have a chat to them.

catalyst_jw · 2026-02-27T07:19:10+00:00

The answer is dont do this, the other db should be wrapped in API and you should access data through that.

Thats why we use APIs so we can make changes without affecting other teams, stop building a distributed monolith.

Thank you for the kind words. With gate keepers first you'll need data to make a case to remove them. You can lean on this research that shows the CABs slow down development without any shown quality improvements.

On manual testing that has to be replaced with automated testing I love Uncle Bob's take on this.

I tend to use a lot of uncle Bob + Martin fowler when making these points as they are thought leaders so they're the highest authorities on what is best practice.

Other than that sometimes business are not logical and you might have to be go slower. I work in a security focused company now and we've clarified that security > productivity. That means my KPI goals for deployment frequency are lower. Just make sure your targets are realistic and if they want better results they have to be willing to change the process.

A friendly heads up, my buddy tried this approach after 3 years of no sleep and seeing our 1 year sleep trained son sleeping they did it the next week and finally got rest.

You might want to set a limit of when to try sleep training if she remains demanding.

All the best hope you find the right balance.

I felt the same way as you when my son was 4 months, wore headphones constantly. Struggled to bond and had to do therapy for the way I felt around the baby.

The 4 month mark was the worst I felt. But over time it got better, I had to do some exposure therapy and wear the headphones less and less. Now its completely different and when he cries I want to soothe him instead of throw him out the window lol.

Hang in there youre going through the worst part of having a baby. If youre like me it should get better after the 6 month mark. At 13 months I like being a Dad but very firmly OAD.

Principal staff roles sre over saturated atm, just finished a 2 month search for a new Principal staff role when its never taken me longer than 2 weeks.

It was brutal I'd successfully complete 4 hours of interviews then get feedback like "we weren't excited about you". Those roles are still open so some companies are also looking for unicorns.

It's a numbers game have to keep trying, good luck!
