We (finally) upgraded to Zod 4.5 (from 3.x!) and our worker CPU demand plummeted, our batch throughput increased by 14% and our task trigger p99 dropped by 18%. Aaaand in unrelated news… We're now the platinum sponsor for Zod! Zod is one of those bits that we use and love and rely on every day and that's why we wanted to support the work @colinhacks is doing. Full write-up here: tgr.dev/igN16BI

Were we running late for the school run this morning? Yes. Was I fixated on finding that one pair of Peanuts socks I needed before I could finish getting dressed. Also yes. 😞

It's really convenient that one of the local TERFs put a JKR sticker on the back of their bike so I know to stay the hell away from them.

Yes ruby, I'm sure I can do .floop.bop.map.bork {|z|z.meep} on this hash, but sometimes I just want to do a for-each and sort that shit out myself.

Constantly feeling like I'm failing at my job, having those around achieve a base standard I can't even seem to hit due to consistancy and dropping stuff on the floor, and then survivor guilt from layoffs and having 3 different managers in 2 weeks, the current was my peer (1/2)

Remember, if you're pissed off, then whoever is getting pissed on should either have done you wrong or it should be consensual with safe words. ✌️

Oh good, OpenReach ONT seems to have stopped responding to PPoE logins again. Goodie.
CW: Food imagery. Baking day, first off was rye and sultana cookies. (NSFW Image) toot.cat/@1stvamp/1094388265…
CW: Food imagery Scotch pancakes (aka drop scones) this morning, still getting used to doing them in the cast iron skillet hence the slight burning on some of them. Still yummy. (NSFW Image) toot.cat/@1stvamp/1093983509…
Seen unironically inside a 'spoons.
It's always so easy for some folks in tech to say "why don't they just quit?" Well, some folks have mortgages to pay, debt to pay off, complex healthcare needs (yay US), families to look after, and then some folks may be outright deported if they quit. So yeah, so simple (1/2)
