Coding, Climbing, and Commentary

Quick thoughts from reading The Infinite Hows If you are trying to establish a healthy postmortem culture at your company, then you should lean on an established framework.

I recently started a new job that communicates on Slack instead of email.

As an engineering manager of a small team, I sometimes find myself trying to articulate why a solution is too “hacky”.

TLDR: To track my Coinbase portfolio for free, I Dockerized an existing script that generates portfolio metrics and ran it continuously on AWS.

Whether on plastic or granite, I am a stickler about sending.

If you climb, especially at The Gunks, you may have heard Rule #1 tossed around the crag.
