Description

Nothing is quite as sobering as a pagerduty alert on a quiet evening. We talk about the alerting process for software engineers and dealing with production outages. It feels nice to be needed, but when I am needed I end up reading a lot of logs. I then make a hard right turn to describe the effects of chronic marijuana use and addiction. It's a bit of a ramble, I'll admit, but you should be warned that you stop having dreams. It's kinda nutty when you stop smoking weed because you get an influx of dreams and they are kinda strong.


Then we answer some questions about good habits for development and collaborating with others. I put about 20 dollars in the swear jar answering a question about using paper when writing code. Stupid. I kinda run out of time because I want to talk more about "the edge" since it was a good question. There are a lot of SaaS companies popping up offering edge computing. Even Deno is doing it. But at least I define what "the edge" is.
