20.10.2024 03:00 โ ๐ 1300 ๐ 49 ๐ฌ 64 ๐ 15This week I'm at #SnowflakeSummit in Vegas. It's going to be a challenge to stay in control - especially when surrounded by so many exciting announcements, talks, parties, dinners...
I'm ready to do it! And happy to share my ongoing collection of insights. What are yours?
I'd like to share a personal accomplishment - I lost 35lbs (16kg) in 4 months by learning how to use data for my own good:

I almost gave up on Stack Overflow this week. But then - luckily for all of us - it's still my platform of choice to build a knowledge base together and help others.

Btw, I did tweet in June. The whole thing is just imploding. The faulty stats are a reflection of the underlying problems:
- No engineers to keep the systems working.
- Management not paying their GCP bills.
- ...
Twitter, Reddit, Stack Overflow next? It's sad to say goodbye to all the platforms that made my professional rep go up.
Excited to learn about what's next. Everything is going to change.
Screencap of subreddit traffic bar chart showing 2000+ pageviews the past 2 days (June 12 and 13). Traffic for earlier days are a blip in comparison
Screencap of r/successionmemes stickied mod post. The headline is: Note: r/SuccessionTV has shut down in protest of Reddit's restrictive API policies. During these tumultuous times, here's a comforting message from Reddit's CEO There is a Screengrab of succession s2e2 where Kendall Roy is speaking in front of a room of disgruntled Vaulter employees. He is saying โit would be a mistake for you to unionizeโ
Just noticed the Succession memes subreddit I created years ago (and forgot about) is now having a 25000% spike in traffic b/c people are trying to find the actual Succession subreddit โ which shut down to protest Redditโs policy changes.
So I am using my mod powers to helpfully inform ๐ซก
