Cannot be overstated! I've spent countless hours trying to understand systems built by others (dozens of others of various skill levels) to try and bring the code to a more maintainable posture. Sometimes it feels like a thankless job but it's a rather selfish endeavor because first and foremost, I want to save my future self from suffering.

I guess the point is that for the OP, Kubernetes is now someone else's problem.

I too really liked Omnivore. Looking for an alternative that'll just take care of the newsletter aspect as that was my #1 use case.

Interestingly, SevenReader (or is it Eleven? :D) is the one I really don't even want to consider.

Also, are there any repercussions for this kind of stuff? I don't know, fines from the organizations they get compliance certifications from or something.

No repercussions, sadly.

Those compliance companies are (mostly) all just checking a box. It's (mostly) security theater from people who wouldn't know security if it bit them in the nether regions.

Even if that wasn't true, there's probably no box in any compliance regime that says "Yes, we loudly promulgate our security failures from the nearest rooftop on 10am on a weekday" (and it's always five o'clock somewhere, right?)

If it helps (I know it doesn't), the Executive Branch likes to do this with poor job number revisions, too, lol

I thought it got slower because of Gemini. I have been setting alarms (yeah, I know!) under various conditions and it always worked like magic. It's something I have gotten really REALLY used to now and I'd notice any change.

Also, their AI photo effects never really worked any good for me but I do not own a pro model.

The form factor and what it did felt just right. Rest in peace.

Spot on.

I have been interviewed for X (as they do), got hired and ended up doing completely different Y in almost all of the jobs I've had. Yet, most of the job interviews I've had felt like they are looking for a very specific things and if I don't have exactly that, I am not good.

Good read. Thanks for sharing.

I feel that this article goes really well with it.

Some folks read Peter Naur's Programming as Theory Building [1] and become zealots. I'm that kind of person. His ideas are woven through my recent talks [2]. Via years of essays, I've been building to a vision of how to build software that I'm calling Continuous Design that's partly stitched together in this overview [3].

Validation of highest order! Thank you for the reply. I finally read the full original text of Programming as Theory Building.

Thanks for your writing as well. As the OP said, the Intellectual Control essay is extremely insightful.

Here's why I like it:

For a considerable time in my professional life I was forced to use Windows. I would still have access to Linux VMs, in which I spent most of my time, using vim as the editor but whenever I wanted to take quick notes, sanitize text, stash away some info I need in work etc., I'd just use the notepad on Windows.

Then I found Notepad++. The UX is just so great (though I never figured out how to delete all the line ending spaces and it's sometimes nagging me).

So I love both Vim and Notepad++, different use cases. Different reasons.

Do you mean extra spaces at the end of line? If yes then select the lines, go to:

Edit - Blank Operation - Trim Trailing Space

In Sinhala it's Alas!
