  • I take it the most pressing issue right now is cooling. If that is right, you might have yet another avenue to explore: Ask facilities with cooling needs if you can store one or two pallets there. I’m thinking schools, (yet again) restaurants, ice cream parlors, ice skating rinks (not sure how they work exactly – is the whole building cooled or just the rink itself?), butchers. You could ask an outdoor gear shop (I mean a place where skis and winter jackets etc. are sold) if they know of a place where one can test jackets. They might know a cool place, too.














  • 50 million users have an extra 3 seconds of unnecessary lag in a day because you wanted to hit tab rather than write code? That’s nearly 5 years of cumulative wasted time.

    As if anyone cared if they had to wait a total of 3 seconds in a workday. If it’s a second per user action, we’re talking, but this is some bare-metal CPU wrangler’s take on how ‘efficient’ code should behave; completely disregarding that most users who touch a computer need 5 seconds to type ‘hi’ into MS Teams.

    Most engineers already write bloated, abstracted, glacial code that burns CPU cycles like a California wildfire. Clean code? Ha! You’re writing for other programmers’ academic circlejerk, not the hardware.

    It’s interesting that everybody else preaches ‘Write for the human first, for the machine second’.

    You want real connection to code? You earn that. You dig in. You wrestle with segfaults at 3 in the morning. You pace your apartment muttering about pointer arithmetic. You burn through Handmade Hero until you get it.

    Absolutely the best learning happens at 3AM. This guy is selling being overworked to the breaking point as some kind of rite of passage. That’s not working. Or learning. It’s the road to sucking off a 9mm 4 weeks later.
