Same here. Except we do a two week rotation, and it aligns with our sprints. The active on-call engineer doesn’t have any assigned sprint work and focuses their effort on fixing bugs or cleaning up the backlog when they’re not actively triaging an incident.


Kotlin would be awesome!


Looks like there's a grammar for it (https://github.com/fwcd/tree-sitter-kotlin) so I think it's on the table!


On iOS I've been using "Bouncer" for the past several months to filter messages using regular expressions. It's been doing a great job so far for me.

I’ve been using a similar app, though the one I use doesn’t support regular expressions. Not really sure why this isn’t built into iOS. When used with the right list of terms, the app works well.

Yea, I've basically just swapped to the BNPL lenders because they don't charge compounding late fees if I decide not to pay the bill off.


I like that the loans are a fixed schedule and have no compounding interest, fees, or ways to get me into further debt beyond paying what I committed to pay.


I’m replying only because I worked at Tellme, and I’m happy other people remember it still! :)


Ah, I'm happy you worked on it! I have fond memories of playing with the blackjack easter egg game with the narrator impersonating Sean Connery!

"Shuffling, you were dealt the, five of cloversh, and the, shix of hearts. Say yesh for another card, or no to stay!"

I was a child then and I used to dial TellMe any time I encountered a public payphone, just to see it work.


In the early 00s I designed and wrote a system that procured abandoned domain names, analyzed them for SEO purposes (existing pagerank scores, inbound traffic from other respectable domains, etc) and then generated a web of links and artificial content designed purely to sell ads and boost other client domains. The part I enjoyed the most was automating Apache and systems administration work for the server farm, but I regret working on it. I was broke and desperate at 20, and I ended up quitting the job after a few months anyway.


Yea. My equity has been dismal. The benefits are fantastic though.


I’m proud of myself for getting all the way through TIS-100, and I think I still hold the records amongst my few peers who tried it.


Hah, I had a mac360! I used it when working on some early Kinect voice-recognition stuff.
