There are so many great song in my mother tongue that virtually nobody aside from the relatively few speakers could realistically even come into contact with. I’m certain all of you non-English speakers here can relate! I linked one of my favourite songs, what are yours?
I’m struggling to disconnect from work. I’ve been working on an interesting problem for the last couple of weeks (compacting change data capture events from sharded MySQL servers into BigQuery). It’s an interesting technical problem. There are lots of optimization opportunities and novel patterns I can introduce....
I've been wanting to check out Mastodon and a good app helps me be more engaged. My issue is that there are lots of interesting apps so I don't which one to pick! Which one do you like and why?...
