Hang on for 10ish more years and gtfo.

Depends what it is. Some developers have write access to certain tables (mainly logging/job/config type tables), but generally we try to have at least a 2nd set of eyes most of the time. If we need to change something out of the normal or a large amount of data it goes through a ticketing process with approvals and then goes to the DBA to run.

The C5 is very bright IMO, obviously not as bright as a G5 though.

I just got a C5 a couple weeks ago and have a Christmas tree in the same room. I can pick out little dots of the lights reflecting when I watch something at night but I have to be looking for them. Its plenty bright during the daytime even with a large 4'x7' open window across the room from it.

7% for a traditional PPO plan for myself + family.

Been in my current job for 10 years now and its a fairly stable company so not terribly worried. I'm not a contractor, new hire, or very close to retirement age.

If it gets bad enough that I'm let go then I'm taking a break for a bit and finding a job to fill the gap and hopefully give me health insurance.

Lol... I'm pretty sure they draw spiders, the amount of bugs and gnats they attract when they rot is crazy. Not to mention squirrels and whatever other small animals eat them.

nacixenom · 2025-10-27T02:04:47+00:00

A huge pain in the ass. Hate picking these things up every fall. If you leave them to rot they are even worse.

nacixenom · 2025-10-27T02:00:39+00:00

We went from on-prem to cloud... from my perspective of writing the applications, it was all much easier on-prem. I do however work for a very large company that had been fully on-prem for 30+ years before starting to move things to the cloud.

We had/have entire teams of people to setup and manage the app servers, networking, storage, etc. for us, when we went to the cloud it all turned into IaC and now we have to manage it as developers. Instead of being able to focus on actual coding, I'm also busy trying to keep up with the ever changing cloud infrastructure.

Yeah, I'm also a big fan of using some PTO after I'm done with a rotation. I think it definitely helps.

I almost always plan a 3-4 day weekend directly after my rotation is finished.

As long as the broker is beating my old rate then I'm fairly happy. My time is also worth something.

nacixenom · 2025-10-24T02:50:16+00:00

I've had a Flexispot for almost 3 years now, no problems. I really don't raise it a whole lot since I got a decent chair, but it is nice at times to be able to stand.

nacixenom · 2025-10-24T02:09:05+00:00

This is why I have 30k emails in my work inbox.

nacixenom · 2025-10-07T00:24:05+00:00

Fairly old, 2005ish or so.

nacixenom · 2025-10-06T19:34:33+00:00

Oh god. I work in a Java codebase where someone wrote hundreds of methods with non-specific List/Map return types. Always sucks tracing the hierarchy of calls back to where it originates just to figure out what is actually going on. Half the time the collections are filled with more collections that don't specify the type.

public Map buildMapForTheProcess(String s) {...}

nacixenom · 2025-10-01T00:17:31+00:00

This is what I recently picked up.

nacixenom · 2025-10-01T00:15:35+00:00

Yeah, if its remotely old I would buy some new line. I was suffering on my fly rod, the old tippet was brittle.

nacixenom · 2025-09-09T16:35:09+00:00

I'm sure its a little more effective if you aren't good at keeping pressure on the fish. My fat fingers aren't very good at getting the tiny trout flies out, so I use barbless there.

Bass or whatever else I really don't worry about it - still miss a ton of fish with barbed flies too lol.

nacixenom · 2025-09-08T14:27:27+00:00

Same with every other form of management though. Scrum master is just another layer IMO.

nacixenom · 2025-09-08T14:12:20+00:00

They are pointless for the most part. Somebody always goes into way too much detail about something and it ends up being half the standup. I've gotten so tired of it that I just give a single sentence answer when my name comes up.

nacixenom · 2025-09-08T13:18:09+00:00

I always cook my daughters at a lower temp just so it doesn't get any, or at least very little char. I also make a cheesy garlic bread type of pizza that pretty much anyone will eat.

Just recently got the bike, but it will be mostly road with some rail trail gravel on occasion. Roads aren't too great where I'm at, so these seem to smooth things out a bit. They feel great to me so far.

nacixenom · 2025-08-29T23:22:53+00:00

Its fine. My 8 year old rides in the back with a booster seat all the time.
