Github has a couple of "fun" behaviours: 1) It links the email address in a commit to a github user with that address no matter who committed it 2) If a commit is pushed to a fork, it's visible in every fork (including the original) Which is how you get github.com/torvalds/linux…

Recently, I had to update a Network Policy for one of our services. Wanted to test the change with #Minikube to ensure I wouldn’t break anything and documented the steps. simondrake.dev/2022-01-09-tes… #K8s #Kubernetes #Development #DevOps

#TIL about visual selection substitutions in Neovim, world leader in plugin deliveries. Want to change each instance of a space to a comma, but only in the visual selection? :'<,'>s/\%V\s/,/g #vi #vim #nvim #neovim

Every (and I mean EVERY) time I've called Virgin Media ❤️ over the last year, there's an automated message stating there's a "global broadband outage". Either you left your automated message on, or you really need to fix some shit.

A recruiter send me an unsolicited job spec today.... At the end of it was this gem: "Coding task that requires at least 8 hours of work (they ask candidates not to put more than 8 hours at work)" There is ZERO chance I'll ever spend eight hours on a tech task.

I wrote a thing about a thing - simondrake.dev/2022-07-29-usi… After getting a M1, it was a royal pain getting #Minikube ingress to work. In the end I used a #multipass VM. Shout out to Gil Bahat 🟡 (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 for the help along the way!
