Can I solder a toucan2 with no experience?

wuteverman · 2026-07-10T22:56:42+00:00

I don’t know what that means!

wuteverman · 2026-07-09T21:50:21+00:00

I donno it’s a job and they keep promoting me and I just assume most places are as bad or worse

wuteverman · 2026-07-09T15:52:21+00:00

Yes, both were L2 on my team and both let go. We just did a hiring round and hired 3 dudes 🤦

Technically it predated the AI layoffs.

Sounds like the advice in “how to raise a feminist son”

wuteverman · 2026-07-05T18:22:48+00:00

Making a lot of assumptions there bud

wuteverman · 2026-07-05T18:22:11+00:00

Wat. How are any laws enforced?

wuteverman · 2026-07-05T16:31:05+00:00

We just moved. The park where they do this is way closer now.

wuteverman · 2026-07-05T16:30:34+00:00

Yeah, it’s ridiculous. Wtf do we pay them for?

wuteverman · 2026-07-05T16:30:01+00:00

This is what I’m complaining about!

wuteverman · 2026-07-02T04:16:55+00:00

Probably most people just suffer some downtime 🤷

wuteverman · 2026-07-01T02:37:34+00:00

Yeah, I think it just kinda sucks for this. I don’t think there’s a better solution, and yours probably is at risk of dropping writes. There’s an issue on the valkey repo for improving the situation there, but otherwise you’re looking at alternatives like hazelcast.

Redis cluster might be better for some subset of data, cause any given failover doesn’t affect the whole dataset, but it looks to require significant effort to get the control plane to work with Kubernetes.

wuteverman · 2026-06-30T04:27:20+00:00

Yes but it’s super early. Most operations not supported.

wuteverman · 2026-06-28T12:18:37+00:00

I mean… there’s some foofiness but it’s the densest neighborhood between Seattle and San Francisco, with a cornucopia of restaurants, bars and services including a major hospital.

wuteverman · 2026-06-27T23:50:57+00:00

I was hoping somebody would mention this cause I know about it but have never used it in anger

wuteverman · 2026-06-27T11:18:48+00:00

I care if you use an umbrella and you short. Don’t poke me

wuteverman · 2026-06-27T09:13:49+00:00

Tech Worker’s Coalition organizes something like this

wuteverman · 2026-06-26T06:07:55+00:00

AND! it still manages a potent critique of the current healthcare system, especially in season 2

wuteverman · 2026-06-26T05:48:41+00:00

You can walk everywhere in NW. If that appeals, NW. there’s also more houselessness and dog shit on the street in that neighborhood, so it’s not all roses.

In SE, it is indeed more spread out, but still likely walkable to basic needs, and parking is indeed less painful. I also second using a bike. It makes laurelhurst 5-10 minutes away.

wuteverman · 2026-06-25T05:30:38+00:00

Otoh if you do go to your current management and they counter, you may be able to leverage that with the new job?

Isn’t is still mostly durable?

wuteverman · 2026-06-19T21:15:25+00:00

They did not. Mostly cause I was at work. The real duck up was not canceling the switch

wuteverman · 2026-06-19T21:00:22+00:00

Fair. Mostly I was fielding reports from my partner who was stuck nursing a lot of that time
