Are you guys using a very simple infrastructure or has it kind of gone from simple to very elaborate?

So has using Sorbet made you guys write better code?

Yeah, real quick. If people want to follow some of the things that you're doing online, where should they go and look?

Awesome. Yeah, and I'll go ahead and kick us off with some picks. So my first pick is the wise, thin clients. So I've been getting my kids ready for the digital learning in the upcoming school year. And instead of giving them each a... $600 computer or something, I have deployed a thin client set up at home, which is probably way overkill for most home networks and stuff.

And instead of giving them each a... $600 computer or something, I have deployed a thin client set up at home, which is probably way overkill for most home networks and stuff.

But I would much rather replace a $100 all-in-one thin client than a $600 computer and monitor. So that's my first pick. And second pick is I, on this call actually, I got the announcement that I got the Apple TDK. So the developer transition kit with the ARM-based processor. So I will be releasing some Drifting Ruby videos on developing on ARM-based processors soon.

Did you do a background check on me before this episode?

What was the fallout? Did everyone like phone up and get really angry? Oh, from a customer perspective? Yeah, yeah. This is the best bit of outage stories is the kind of the human cost of whoever has to answer the phone the next week.

And I guess for this specific, not this specific product, but kind of product where your customers are consuming your API, you're also at the mercy of their implementation too. So, you know, they're making a kind of call against you. And if that call is failing, you know, you've got to hope that their system can cope with that as well.

Can we talk about the blameless culture for a bit? This is a new idea. And when I was managing engineering teams, I used to have what I called the finger of blame. So I used to do it the other way around. I would hold up my finger in a meeting and I'd introduce the finger as the finger of blame. And then we'd work out who the finger of blame should be pointing to.

Now, more often than not, of course, it was me. So the finger of blame was a double edged finger. But it was it was a kind of way of, you know, people take it very seriously when they mess up the kind of stuff. So you kind of have to get your. get your team back on board. So it was a way of kind of lightening the mood after that week's disaster.
