Sorry Berlin, the ThoughtWorks Munich office has a nice shiny piano and I guess this is my home office now.

Also, the point of using shell scripts is they are portable and work pretty much anywhere. If you need a compiler and/or toolchain installed to run your helpers.. what’s the point? Might as well use Python (which ships pretty much anywhere) or Ruby.

Or, you know, the shell. 🤷‍♂️

Top submission on the Golang subreddit: “Instead of the shell, just use Golang as your scripting language! I don’t understand how loops and other stuff work in bash, so I better use go”

I mean, sure, if you have the Golang compiler installed anyway, why not..?

Loops, iterators etc are working principles on any shell since the 80s, not sure why that’s such a problem all of sudden..?

The recent Chef-ICE story hits home. A year ago DHS wrote to me, interested in purchasing Sidekiq Enterprise.

I declined; Chef's response is amoral BS.

I. Cannot. Fucking. Believe it.

That’s probably one of the worst reactions to this crisis one could’ve ever come up with.

Fuck me, #Chef even doubled down, without any clear justification but “but.. growth!” ..

Seriously, and I’m saying this as a former Chef user, advocate and teacher: FUCK CHEF.

Fucking disgraceful.

So tired of this. So tired of men in tech. So tired of men, honestly.

i guarantee you a lot more people would probably use alternatives to corporate software if we didnt have a culture of fucking nerds defending their sacred mountain of being the most boring and predictable people on the entire earth
