We are all geared up for the coming Monday

Passing my projects to the next maintainer before leaving the company. And I had to leave this in the milestone

When JVM does weird shit on the server

I just read this great line in the Google SRE book which I have experienced myself:

"Some of the most satisfying coding I’ve ever done was deleting thousands of lines of code at a time when it was no longer useful."

When you cache index a faster query but your co-worker from other part of the world clears it.... It's been six times now dude

Rebooted a server..
1 hour passed and ping is still failing..
idrac authentication is failing

In a call from customer support to SRE:
"...is it possible to reboot the whole server with the exception of an instance?"

Server patching in 3 DCs

Enough rant

It really annoys me that many tech recruiters do not have a basic knowledge of the roles they are trying to recruit for and what skill set to look for when they cold message/call potential candidates on LinkedIn.

I make it very clear on my profile that I am a Full Stack Engineer. Still, every other day I get messages about Data Engineering, Frontend Dev or SRE roles. Sometimes a recruiter would insist that I schedule a call with them before they tell me the details, and then I would realize after the call what an absolute waste of time it was.

I have a lot of respect for recruiters. It's not an easy job. But I'm starting to strongly believe that tech recruiters should be made to go through a specialized training to make life easy for themselves and to stop wasting time of people who are not even remotely suitable for their requirements.

I would describe the day with all the soothing sounding adjectives I could find. You don't see this perfect weather in London. The sun rays through the glass walls seem very welcoming my intention.

My plan was to enjoy a couple of cups of coffee while getting boozed in some development works. How beautiful, right?

But alas! a manual rack transfer came in for HA....163 instances

The end

Invent more, toil less.
