@EriPDev @polotek Mostly beating my head against terraform and wondering at the many ways cloud tools can be misused. Knowing how to cloud properly is indeed a crazy valuable skill.

@dhh 20 years ago a colleague, after hearing suggestion that we get slower computers to encourage more efficient code, opined that we’d probably write more efficient code if we also put sharp pins on all of the keys on our keyboards.

Some of the best software people I know are lit majors, film majors, dropouts, etc., and that very much includes incredibly talented machine learning folk. Ability to learn and think creatively is far more important than academic pedigree.
