Aside. Impressed he tagged the Opera House photo as Circular Quay. Sort of thing a non-tourist would do (unless he is from Sydney).

This can happen on any cloud. See it on Azure. Keep backups on another cloud and have a DR plan even if it very manual. S3 glacier is very cheap long term for example.

Keep DNS in another account too.

Nice. I'm doing 10 days and I booked one thing. Happy to skip the high end sushi and whatever else needs booking years in advanced.

Yeah it is the strangler fig pattern but the thing getting strangled is human coders.

I opened it, read enough to establish this author knows what they are talking about and bookmarked it to read properly before my next blog post.

Had they told me the blogging equivalent of their intergenerational nanna's spaghetti recipe first I may not have done that.

Parallels with Amy Hoy's "eBombs"

A testiment to how broken it all is is trying to set up oncall on my phone.

There is a tug of war whereby I want most things to be silenced at night DnD. Even phone calls could be scammers and spammers

But I want the alert and only that alert to wake me.

A dumber phone in a simpler time would make this easy. Just leave it on full volume and call my number!

I had this problem as well. "Luckily" for me, the Android work profile on my phone seems to bypass do not disturb settings.

Mine does but it won't override silent mode. So I just need to make sure I am not silent before going to sleep. But getting this to work to that extent wasn't trivial and require a phone call. An app from a different device profile can't pierce it.

Also "thankfully" our on call system (Pagerduty) can be configured to call you if you don't answer the notification quickly enough

Is this a situation where you are trying to set up a work app on your personal phone? If so, does your employer offer employer-owned phones?

I think family loyalty is deep rooted, where as socialism is something people debate (maybe more a mix of neocortex I.e. planning and lower emotions coming from morality and political identification)

No matter what their politics most people will look out for their family especially their kids.

That is deep
