ugh Jira. At my first job in 2006 I was the Jira administrator. Every project wanted their own custom fields. We had a Jira project for “infra” problems it had 3 fields yall Title/Description/priority and it worked so well. Moved to a company with a simple ticket system with not much more but the concept of “tags” it was heavily

python is like this also. I don’t remember a language that returned ints

I didn’t use docker. I went from scratch. You need to be able to compile rust and run nginx or similar

saw cloud based and thought plan9

This is just sad.

Yeah zero downtime. You ship out the new features but gate them using some system you can control. When all the new features are shipped you turn up the new features until it gets to 100%. This lets you observe the real world behavior of the new features if they don’t cache well or cause 500s or what have you you can turn it off without having to ship new code.

Also if you keep all these feature flags, if you have a situation where you have capacity problems you can turn down features for the survival of the service as a whole.

Only using mct, butter, tallow these days

Slackware 1998. I spent 6 months in a text only freebsd install in 1999. Because of a dram issue I wasn’t able to run windows without blue screens. Text based internet wasn’t that bad in 1999. I could load up xwindows if I wanted to see a picture but rarely did. Talking on irc somebody mentioned memtest and my memory had a very long warranty so I took it back to the store. Then I spent the next several years addicted to quake/quake2

Its not as polished as Apollo but years of development will do that for you.
