    One of our client support people told an angry client to open a Jira with urgent priority and we’d get right on it.

    … the client support person knew full well that Jira was down too : D

    At least, I think they knew. Either way, not shit we could do about it for that particular region until AWS fixed things.




  • Garmin is where I landed too.

    I couldn’t do the instinct 2 solar because of the 50mm size (I have dainty little wrists) but the instinct 3 solar is available in 45mm.

    I’m over a month in and at 70% battery with minimal direct solar, but it does give it a 1-3% bump when I’m working outside.

    At this point, I have to see how long it can go without charging.

    (Again, I don’t use any of the “smart” stuff, just the heart rate monitor for sleep tracking - is that a new thing to require HRM for sleep tracking? Long ago, they did it with the accelerometer)


  • I remember looking for a new watch awhile back and seeing a review that said “The battery life is outstanding! I get almost two whole days without a charge!” and thinking “naw dude”.

    But, I also don’t like “smart” watches… or “smart” anything. I want a damn watch that can occasionally do GPS tracking when I want it to.












  • The relationship with the instructor is something I wanted to touch on but thought I’d maybe rambled too much already.

    If it’s a good program, they WANT you to succeed and they want to give you every possible advantage. You can show up to class, do the bare minimum, and maybe pass. But going the extra bit and asking good, useful, questions will get you much further.

    I’ve never met an instructor who cares that isn’t up for side discussions, private tutoring, and literally anything that helps the student squeeze as much info as possible before, during, and after the class. I have zero respect for anyone who teaches a class and refuses to do anything outside of the prescribed class hours… Makes me angry just thinking about it.

    Edit: also if the instructor is working in the industry then they have a network that you can tap into… which is often more important
