Truncated the dev database today.

Thank god for snapshots. 😂😭

Interviewer: Here's a marker, diagram how you would implement a time management system to track user work.

Me: [draws out complex system to track user work via heartbeat]

Interviewer: God, no.. something more simple like a time clock.

[sigh]

I have to do a transfer of about 2 GB of data from one remote server to another. Any suggestions?

My idea was to do multiple curl requests while compressing the data using gzcompress.

Preliminary testing shows that won't work. Now I'm considering putting the data in a file on our S3 bucket for the other server to obtain.

So you give the project to someone else, overlooking me. They fail to deliver and now you're going to reassign it to me to fix and deliver? #sloppyseconds

The guys in IT have a sense of humor. I can't wait to hear what it does. 😭

Work has been inefficiently using multiple cron jobs to run php scripts to generate pre-baked data.

The last two days I took the steps needed to internalize all those scripts and run them from an individual php controller which is ran from Jenkins. My script keeps track of scheduling and error tracking.

I'd say I'm pretty proud of what I came up with.

My doctor's office logs into their computers using the Administrator user. 🤔Pretty sure that's how patient info gets leaked.

My mac HD failed today. Fml

Terrible. But still hilarious.
