New MacBook Pro's; what do we think?

My favourite function is a function that works!

Woo! I love new Apple product day!

Azure is down! But on the bright side their status page is quite nice. AWS could learn a thing or two there!

Talk to someone about your problem. If no one is there, talk to a rubber duckie. Know that it's fine to be stuck and sometimes the best thing to do is go for a walk to clear your head!

New decorations for the laptop!

The worst documentation is always my own. Or when you & some friends are hacking a weekend project together :(

❤️ the new avatar builder! gg!

Folks, it's the weekend! Time to relax, get some 🍷 & figure out how Vim works finally!

Ah, shit.

🚂 station errors!

I like helping out on weird little projects that keep my brain fed. One of our IT guys needs a little form that can auto inject some info from a small data store (Google sheets). There's a few caveats within his specs. All can be done with some js relatively easily.

But because I said it can be done he thinks it'll take 10mins and now suddenly he's putting pressure on me to do it, despite me also having an actual job to do! So frustrating!

Thankfully I've been lucky enough to work with many brilliant people. The best being the ones who are enthusiastic about sharing tips, tricks and helpful advice to new people. Little pieces of advice from old colleagues have followed me throughout my career, for sure.

By contrast, people who sit in a dark corner, bemoaning everything and being completely unwilling to help can have enough negative impact to cause talented people to leave.
