Glad I can shove more things into the same physical space. I can’t wait until HAMR is ready next!
Ruby! It’s a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.
I don’t think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It’s a very useful tool for advancement.
Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn’t going to make you a better engineer either.
I’ve met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.
I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It’s a game, you don’t win by not playing.
Neat! Thanks for sharing
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of btrfs, in my limited sample size of one I had several episodes of esoteric errors and data loss. It’s anecdotal but filesystems have never been something to give me trouble in any other scenario to date. They just exist and do their job silently in my experience, except for btrfs.
