i still use my TI calculator for the engineering days. It's such a useful piece of hardware. I dont do any big calculations anymore but still gives you that feeling of slowing down without notifications.

New comment by tamiral in "Ask HN: Can we blame Windows for CrowdStrike outage?"

tamiral — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 17:50:22 +0000

Crowdstrike and other tools that have this access is for them to update their agents so that in case they see a ransomware or attack pattern to push it out to as many devices as possible to stem the attack. Do you need all this crazy level of kernel access, probably not, I hope they will have some refactoring efforts in the future.

tamiral — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 20:18:49 +0000

I have a nice setup with notebooks, on one page I put down the date and my meetings for the day, then i list the tasks i want to get done for the day. I start crossing things off once they are done per project. Went to standup? ok cool cross it off, new task comes in, add it to the list to priortize for the next day. I can go back and see what i've done on every single day and which days i've been in meetings most days. Having a nice pen/pencil really helps.

It’s not a set of up and leave it! You have to continuously monitor and improve! Yes using some cloud service will save XYZ time but doesn’t mean it’s a set it and forget it feature.

I’ll add this is a really good write up ! Love this comment :

New comment by tamiral in "Ask HN: Why do message queue-based architectures seem less popular now?"

tamiral — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 09:00:09 +0000

We highly use messaging queues to power millions of daily transactions and requests. I think it’s because the patterns have been written about and it is no longer a fun hot topic. AWS SQS, Azure Event Hub etc all very standard for what I’ve seen in recent architectural diagrams from many companies.

I find the biggest issues in industry and organizations is so called “tech debt” and no plan for future improvement of a solution as it matures or user base scales. Planning for these is essential.
