I wonder if, from a staffing perspective, it's actually easier to cancel a show under these circumstances than through a more traditional cancellation process.

Is it possible that they wanted to pull the show and this was just the excuse they were looking for?

I do the same accept I created the parent account that is stored on my computer.

The friction of having to go to my computer to grant access to my apps on the phone is enough to keep my off social media.

Have you found a good Head for Kafka to easily query the Topics using a SQL like language? Especially something that can infer table schema from the Schema Registry.

What is interesting is if the world is not that reliant on Taiwan chips anymore would China really care that much about Taiwan?

I think what complicates the matter is that some people have an inherent drive. They want to see progress and really struggle when it's not happening.

The flip side of the coin is those people might end up alcoholics to try and suppress that drive.

It looks like Stackoverflow was already in a decline even before Covid.

I wonder what developers started using during that time.

This is a very important point. Staring down on a laptop screen strains neck muscles but it feels like you are getting headaches from your eyes.

Make sure your posture is correct when sitting in front of a screen before attempting anything else.

Where you paying Terraform for anything at the time?

My doubt in the value of the company was that I've been using Terraform for years in Enterprise settings and never needed to pay the company for anything.
