Weeknotes 156

Our first ever Tuesday posting! Oh dear.

Senior Engineer Fatigue – I thought this was interesting.

Still feeling super busy and stressed. I’m not good at being under pressure, even when that pressure is coming from my biggest inner critic. The lesson I’ve learnt is, never try.

I Visited Apple’s Secret iPhone Testing Labs! from MKBHD is super interesting.

I briefly installed, and tried out, a new file manager – yazi.

Blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O.

As I said, not much time to play with it, but I will hopefully go back to it later.

ISPreview had some interesting numbers on the traffic going through BT’s network during the first Euro 2024 matches.

Total network traffic: 15,664 TB of data, peaking at 18.5 Terabits per second.

Wowsers 😮

Another visit to our new house this weekend. It was complicated, but nice, and I’m glad we made the effort. We visited Bridlington and Scarborough, both places I’ve never been before with mixed reviews.

However, the weekend of driving really did me in (🧟), and it has worried me about how regularly I can do this.

I’m very interested in the new Apple Passwords app. 1Password has fallen so far – it just doesn’t work most of the time. VCs man.

A super busy week (for me) this week coming up. Brighton Ruby is a highlight. I’m not quite ready for it, like every year. I did consider not going because I just feel I need a rest, but I will likely still go.

I don’t like sitting around idle, and I don’t like being really busy. Where is the happy medium?
