In the unlikely event that anyone missed me: sorry. Christmas and then work got crazy (I mean, seriously, we lost all the code for a while) and then … well. Twitter feels like shouting into a void. Mastodon like talking with people. And sometimes I'm not up to talking with people, just shouting into a void…

When you are not sure what the code does but assume it must be important so you just leave it

@passthejoe I don't know if I was just doing Twitter wrong, but Mastodon seems much better at showing you stuff by people you don't *already* follow. Local timeline is a game-changer for starting conversations with new peeps. :)
Small announcement: I'm now also @spaceportmarketwizard. The plan is to talk about my music and writing hobbies there, and coding here.
This means that coding types don't have to cope with me talking about amplitude modulation, and music types don't have to listen to me talk about transaction scoping.
So I'm going to be unfollowing a few people here and refollowing them there. Sorry for the confusion...
This is interesting. I'm not really surprised that Sidekiq is the bottleneck. I'm not really a fan. But perhaps that's unfair.
I'm trying a new thing. I remotely borrowed an ebook from the local #library using the app Borrowbox, and I can strongly recommend that. The sign up process was easy (I do have to visit my local library at some point) and I've reserved two ebooks I'm really keen to read: Simon Stålenhag's _The Electric State_ and the cooking book, _Salt Fat Acid Heat_.
I also borrowed a Steampunk novel. I won't name it because it's very, very bad. Page 12 and we're still describing what people are wearing…
