Jumping off a cliff and dropping "Rosenbaum" off my social media.
From here on out, I shall be known as Sasha Czarkowski.
Hopefully people in my professional network can still find me 😅

It’s not called “accommodating” after she doesn’t show up!
In somewhat good news, she didn’t get a chance to screw up on the wedding day

What if all the laid-off Twitter employees band together and build a new high-quality social network?
I'll happily give them $8 a month to get this started

OK, I have
Twitter, Slack, Teams, Signal, Keybase, Whatsapp, Telegram, Messenger, Viber, LinkedIn, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom, Blue Jeans, FaceTime, Instagram, Discord and more
Please tell me which app do you need me to install to communicate with you, I've given up resistance

Dear office software of all kinds:
NO ONE EVER WANTS TO KEEP THE TEXT FORMATTING
Just make matching the target doc the default
Everywhere
Please
Except slides. Where it, ironically, defaults to the opposite...

Good news: I got promoted
Bad news: I now have to figure out how to scale out human distributed systems

I just got terrible personal news.
If we were working on a project together, I am sorry, it won't be happening for a while.
I appreciate your support, but I probably don't want to talk.

STOP MAKING AN ASSUMPTION THAT EVERYONE IN TECH HAS GREAT LIVING CONDITIONS
and hence should be able to jump on a video call whenever you want them to

My mom passed away suddenly.
Dealing with the aftermath has been like quicksand, I am drowning.
I’ve had incredible support, and I can afford to solve problems with money, but my head is barely above the sand.
And then there’s grief.

Starting a new project:
Junior Dev: re-reads a book to implement the most efficient algorithm and data structure
Senior Dev: let me fuck around and find out

It has to be the Homebrew terminal profile though,
so it looks like I’m escaping the Matrix

Part of the reason I can shout
“you don’t need a CS degree to be in tech”
is that I have one,
“you don’t need to work at a ‘top tier’ company”
is because I have

With all those smart devices
I will soon need a Test home, a Staging home, and a Production home
And a 24-hour regression testing period after firmware updates 😃

Please try to avoid idly bringing up Ukraine to speculate on the outcomes or use it as a metaphor for a work situation
I am falling apart as is, and people around me keep talking about the situation like it's a game or a movie

Is it just me, or do you feel guilty for having a good life while the world seems to be falling apart?

Open Source software is Open Source, not free
People invest a lot of time and money into building and supporting it
These people gotta eat

So
I am burnt out
I feel like everything in tech is just going in circles
And despite / due to the rate of innovation
It is getting more difficult every day for an IT department to even keep the lights on
I need something new to believe in, some “new DevOps” idea

Sorry folks, I might not be able to respond to you right now
My immediate family is safe, but my country isn’t
I appreciate everyone checking in
Please stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Hi friends!
If you went from a technical role into management
And you had to gradually give up the depth of understanding of the technology you work with
How did you deal with impostor syndrome?

Friends,
My feed will be fully dedicated to the situation in #Ukraine
If you need to mute or unfollow me I understand
This war is much bigger than one country. This war is about standing up for world peace and democracy

Let's be honest here
"I would rather hire people who are already financially secure enough to not just work for a paycheck, lol"
Is an extremely toxic opinion that gets amazing folks excluded from talent pools

I think the biggest advantage of a manager who has worn many different hats as an IC
Is that they have a gut feel for how hard tasks are
And an appreciation for people who make hard things look easy

Infra as Code
To me means “we have codified our infrastructure in a repeatable and [usually] declarative fashion”
Not “we’ve used a ‘proper’ programming language to write the deployment procedure”

My tweets get much lower engagement now
Which means either folks muted me, or the algorithm did
Which matters, because the reason I am sharing the news
Is so that people don't forget Ukraine is out there, alone, fighting for life and freedom
Thoughts?

I am extremely lucky to be working for a company, and a manager, who encourage me to take the time needed to recover from traumatic events.
