Two insanely-beautiful days in the company of Artem Lyskov and Nadezhda Shulga. We wandered into Georgetown University at night, found a piano there, the audience clapped. Thank you, Nadya 🙂

Today in Georgetown there is a reunion for alumni from various years. We entered the university cemetery. It hasn’t started yet. There’s a rabbit sitting nearby. A minute ago, a rat ran by. Cockroaches are scrambling over the stones. The tombstone reads 105 years for the dude.

We have to walk 10 meters outdoors between the garage and the office, and during a rare rain, we need to dash across, and the landlord has placed umbrellas on both sides. Aren’t they great, huh? Sometimes they also treat all tenants (and their family members ;)) to ice cream or organize some other fun event. I’ve never heard of landlords caring so much about their business tenants. Usually, it’s all about the money

Has anyone among you read Good Omens? Ideally in English. I’m currently reading it, interested in your opinion

Interesting lecture on microservices in ecommerce.
It turns out that at Best Buy, updates used to occur once a year, involving 60 people and taking 8 hours, usually overnight.
Refers (actually it doesn’t, I googled this) to Joel Crabb, Vice President at Target, who at that time was the Chief Architect at Best Buy. As Joel Crabb wrote on his website in A DIGITAL ECOMMERCE TRANSFORMATION – FRONT END MADNESS – PART II, before it was removed (but Google remembers everything), “A minor digression on the state of the ATG system is necessary to understand what we were dealing with. The original ATG system was built in 2003, at the time it was an excellent decision for a mid-sized retailer to build its first ecommerce engine. But over time, and numerous one-off projects, the code base had morphed, intertwined and been generally neglected and abused. As an example, one ongoing project when I arrived was to widen the product detail page (PDP) and move the Add To Cart button from the left side of the page to the right side. This seemed fairly innocuous, but it took six months and well over one million dollars to accomplish this task.”
Reading Joel’s memoirs is quite interesting http://joelcrabb.com/?paged=7&p=339
