Interesting point. More/better categorizations

Thanks for this - I'm pretty new at blogging and it never occurred to me to credit the model. Next time I get on there I'll fix that.

I don't think I wrote this to convince anyone of anything. I think its internal kickback I have that flares up when I hear about companies trying to force employees back to the office. I think the end point that I probably need to add to the post is that I believe that the way forward is for companies to actually listen to employees and allow them flexibility if they desire it, assuming the work gets done.

Yeah - last job I had was a nightmare of 5-6 hours per day meetings. Not a good fit at all. Current one is much better, better team, maybe 1 meeting 4 days a week at most (who does standup on Friday anyway? Nobody)

^ this. Thanks for putting this into words, I have always felt the same way and just haven't been able to be aware of it in a way that allowed it to come out verbally.

every word came from my own keyboard. It takes an hour or more to write a post and I don't have the time to hunt down the artwork - I lose enough sleep over my tech job, figured adding some fun art stuff would only be worth it if it didn't add to my stress - I do apologize if some folks are offended by using AI generated art though - I've created art myself in the past and the whole idea bugs me on a deep level, so I'm a bit conflicted on that
Re:AWS Instance Types – Surprising Benchmark Results on Sunday November 19, 2023 @07:55AM (#38332228)
I spent some time testing out 5/6/7 Gen EC2 instances in AWS and discovered some pretty wild results. TLDR: The perf increases are much higher than I thought possible
