Most of my cutovers are so smooth my boss sometimes thinks I and my team forgot to do the work because there is not even a little blip of downtime.
That’s smooooooove. Try that with your $4 an hour outsourced India team. Not. Gonna. Happen.

Saving Up
Something more cheerful, or at least fun. I did really like the composition of this shot and Kaitlyn’s expression from No One Will Save You:
Tattered
I’m considering breaking up with my girlfriend over the fact she keeps getting tattooed.
Break up immediately. There is no reason to be with someone you’re not attacted to over deliberate choices she’s making herself to make her less attractive.
If a romantic partner of mine (not a friend) got a tattoo, I’d break up that instant. Yes I am serious. No I do not care what anyone thinks about it. And it’s damn weird how a lot of people with tattoos seem to think I should find them attractive for some reason. Like, fucking nope? I don’t find women with bowl cuts attractive either, y’all gonna start lecturing about that?
Note that this does not apply to friends — I am only talking about romantic partners here.
Pectin
Wholesale inflation rose 0.5% in September, more than expected.
Well, not more than expected by me. Then again, I am not a dumbass and do not think things that dumbasses do.
Nine Days in the Valley
Google Kubernetes Engine incident spanning 9 days.
LOL@ nine days of outages. Kubernetes sucks and containerization is a dead end. This shows exactly why. It is an overcomplex mess designed by complete fucking clowns who did not understand the problems they were attempting to solve nor what the best solutions would be if they even understood the problems in the first place.
This is the failure mode of smart people. They believe slinging complexity at something is always the best answer, because they have the horsepower to do so. It so rarely is the solution, though. But nothing can convince them of that however because most of it is intellectual showboating to impress other smart people.
And then you end up with something like Kubernetes and similar.
