🎯 The future of software engineering is SRE
https://swizec.com/blog/the-future-of-software-engineering-is-sre/
1️⃣ Writing a demo is easy - running a service is hard
Anyone can build POC, keeping a service reliable over time is the real engineering
2️⃣Software is hired for reliability, not impressiveness
You don't care how iCloud works, you just want your photos to magically
3️⃣ The first 90% is easy - the next 190% is hard
Getting a demo working is straightforward. Handling uptime, scaling, failure recovery, dependencies, security…
4️⃣ Service quality questions are the real engineering metrics
- How do we recover from failure?
- What happens when upstream breaks?
- Can we update without outages?
5️⃣ SRE means thinking long term
Software engineering is not just writing code, it’s keeping systems alive in the real world with messy data, users, timezones, and unexpected events

FIRE SPACE
USE E
SPEED ]
WEAPON SELECT 1-7
it really works. more details https://github.com/wojciech-graj/doom-ascii
PS it's better to use the dark mode like in the coments

♟ Fixing a Lost Chess Piece with Epoxy
My daughter took chess set to school. BTW This chess has survived relocation Chelyabinsk -> Saint Petersburg -> Spain. So it was quite sentimental piece of plastic. So, I decided to try fixing it myself.
1️⃣ Made a template using epoxy
2️⃣ Covered the original pawn with oil and pressed it into the epoxy template
3️⃣ Waited until the template hardened
4️⃣ Oiled the template and put epoxy inside + added a small magnet
5️⃣ Polished and covered it with varnish
Honestly, I expected the result to look terrible. Instead it was just bad, bad with enough functionality.
Also reminder: infrastructure engineers secretly enjoy building random physical things too 🙂

🤖microbit
I've just found quite promising project for kids: https://microbit.org/
There is gui, javascript & python to have some fun with kids. They can start just from GUI and can program it. however initializating is a bit tricky
