I just had to turn on the heat because of the overnight low of 65°F. Inside my house.

Way to go September. Big fan already.

I don’t know if I have any riot left in me. I’m in bed now and it’s oh so comfy 💯

So in other news one time back when I was a teenager I ate one of those 3 inch Tootsie Rolls. Maybe they’re 4 inch I don’t know for sure. However long it was, it was so good that I ate another one. And then another one.

Be advised dear reader: the downside to enjoying three 3” Tootsie Rolls is that it gave me a crazy tension headache. Like the muscles in my jaw weren’t prepared for such a chewing workout.

Also please note that even though the memory of this monstrous headache is still as vivid as ever, it has NOT once kept me from enjoying the sweet little chocolate treats.

Am I the only one who comes home and says, “fucking garbage night 🙄” ?

I love telling work partners that I’ll deny what I just wrote… 😊

It all depends on how complicated the eval forms are and the certificate design, the layouts, the logos, what fields we need to show and so on. If it were to be the simplest of simple cases I could probably do it in 6 hours but I’ll deny that if anybody were to quote me on it.

The Majestic Monolith – Signal v. Noise

In other words, M/SOA fits the organizational shape of very large corporations. So far so good!

Where things go astray is when people look at, say, Amazon or Google or whoever else might be commanding a fleet of services, and think, hey it works for The Most Successful, I’m sure it’ll work for me too. Bzzzzzzzzt!! Wrong!

The patterns that make sense for organizations orders of magnitude larger than yours, are often the exact opposite ones that’ll make sense for you. It’s the essence of cargo culting. If I dance like these behemoths, surely I too will grow into one. I’m sorry, but that’s just not how the tango goes.

This is true of not just technical patterns, but general organizational approaches too. But that you shouldn’t run HR like a 50,000-person company when you have 50 seems obvious to most though (with some exceptions).

I’ve said more than once at work, “We’re not Netflix nor are we building Netflix here.”

Peeps, here’s your gut-wrenching-frenzy Wednesday hump-day jam.

No video but the lyrics will do, especially with the PMRC considering them to be “too sexual, potentially masochistic, and probably homoerotic.”

Definitely homoerotic with Halford coming out back in 1998.
