And when devs come asking for leaves, show authority by asking them to reschedule their leave plans for later dates and attend to current priority- making better soup.

on: Textual Paint – MS Paint in your terminal
My thought was exactly same, “but why?”. It is indeed very cool. But ‘cool’ not enough to drive such an effort for me i guess. I realize the importance, as it can be used over SSH too. A TUI can be very helpful for graphic less servers, say.

on: Mimicking Production Behavior with Generated Mocks
While it gives a nice approach to generate data for parameters with which functions can be tested, I have doubt about the correctness of returned values of say mocked functions. Since this is not a TDD approach, and relies on correctness of functions - function callers etc. in production, how reliably can we say that the generated mock data based upon monitored data in production is correct? What I mean to say is, a corrupt function will give corrupt outputs, be it in prod or dev env. Isn’t it more reliable to have the code author write mock functions?

on: What's wrong with enterprise Linux
How is Kernel live patching as an approach for reaching the middle ground for enterprise applications? Amazon linux 2023 makes use of it.
Note how “Ksplice was the first project for live patching the Linux kernel; however, ksplice was sold to Oracle and eventually changed to a closed-source tool.”

Reminds me of Young Sheldon's fleeting break of faith in zero (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI5ukcG-9pQ&ab_channel=It%27...).
Isn't zero just nothingness. If you multiply x with nothing, it becomes nothing. If you divide x by nothing, shouldn't it just be x.
