It’s a radio and computer that goes inside a person’s mouth. That person can’t use their hands. How do they take it out and put it in?

Tim had a red solo cup size container next to his keyboard — he also typed with the tool in his mouth. [1] When he wanted to talk to someone, he stuck the stick in the cup and stood the tool up where he could pick it up again.

[1] I hadn’t remembered that because it’s been 25 years. Tim could also out sketch most people with a pencil in his mouth as well. He had a bachelor in fine art before the motorcycle wreck.

Slightly slower is an understatement. Absolutely useless on touch. No fault of Atlassian, but why use the HTML 5 API knowing it’s trash on mobile?

On: Infrastructure as code is not the answer (2022)

[eezing]

Infrastructure as code can be useful for complex systems.

These days, the cloud providers have pretty good abstractions that IMO diminish the need for IaC for many use cases.
