Ryan Saxe did exactly this a number of years ago: https://github.com/RyanSaxe/mtg

i dont see how that is separated from the underlying infra. If the network/server/some dependency goes down, the blackbox test will fail and you'll get paged.


You can test for this. For example, we had routines that were called on repeated HTTP failures that would then get 5 or so of the top US websites. If those fail too, it moves from an application error to an infra one.


I use Firefox for iPhone. Sorry At least if probably wastes less energy than messing around with generative AI


The same AI summaries that told people to put glue on pizza? And got mass coverage for providing all sorts of incorrect info?


Came here hoping to see something like this. Glad to see it’s the top comment. Part of the beauty of climbing is solving a puzzle and figuring things out.

Edit: Unsurprised to see the demo on a gym route instead of actual rock.


Will post more videos on outdoor rocks soon! I just chose that video for the demo because it was easy to explain the route


gym route is also important and heavily used


Or maybe, just maybe, it’s that the dude spews whatever out of his mouth and the broader public and media take him at his word when time again its been seen that his word doesn’t mean shit.


A few that I’ve encountered:

- Feature generation for machine learning model training (particularly popular with fraud detection at financial institutions) - social networks (think LinkedIn or Facebook) - supply chain analysis and optimization - healthcare patient data analysis (looking at similar patients to recommend treatments or do large scale analysis) - user identification (eg taking lots of data points and tying to a specific user). There’s a more specific name for this I can’t remember off the top of my head.


Cybersecurity is also a large industry that makes use of large scale graph databases


Use Zulip at the company I work and I love this product. I've really enjoyed it as a chat application over the past couple years, as well as developing bots on top of it.


I relate to this. Turns out it was undiagnosed ADHD for me.


Lol haha, I just realized that my stellar interview record and ADHD are related. I freaking LOVE interviewing. Not just interviewing, I generally enjoy someone watching over me as I code. This is not something I have ever seen anyone else enjoy. I thought I was just a narcissist, but I don't enjoy any other sort of attention.


Seeing all those comments it looks like I finally have to get myself checked out. Thought too long about might having it and never got around actually talking to a psychiatrist.

I can focus very well in interviews or exams. They are even fun for me. But when I get the job and I don't have any concrete deadline, it's hard to focus for me and "get things done". Which ends up me thinking I am not good enough and falling into depression again. I can perform when I absolutely have to, but I never figured out how I can make it work outside those environments.


Same for me. It is a known “symptom,” dopamine floods the brain, we normalize and go into a hyperfocused mode.


same, and I think the same. how did you go about getting diagnosed?


(US Based Answer) - Talk to your GP and they can likely recommend a local specialist who does the testing.


What was the value that you saw in getting it diagnosed? I'm sure many people live their whole life without having a label for some of the stuff going on in their body/mind. If they're halfway through life and not obviously suffering, is it worthwhile?


If you actually have ADHD, trying a stimulant medication will tell you in 15 minutes how quiet everything is for people without ADHD.


You can get a treatment if you’re diagnosed with ADHD. Being halfway through life doesn’t mean you should just idly wait for death.


I think you misunderstand me. Somebody halfway through life isn't just sitting around waiting to die. But if there are ADHD indications and no obvious suffering or underperformance, it is clearly a condition that has been lived with. How valuable is the treatment at that point? There's quite a range between "meh, if it hasn't been a problem then it's probably not going to move the needle" and "it is lifechanging, you don't know what you're missing.". Sibling reply suggested the latter certainly _can_ happen. It seems like a number of posters in this thread have personal experience/wisdom to share.


So, I'm not diagnosed (though I recently had a member of my care team recommend going through an evaluation to maybe shed some light on things and am starting that process). Truth the "ask your GP" is generally the answer to any question on how to start a process in the US medical system.


I'm a 25 year old managing a global team of 8 people. I'm self-conscious about my age both in my 1:1s with my reports and when talking with customers. That being said, it seems like things are going well. My team is doing great metrics and achievements wise and the company we work for tripled in size in under a year.


You know what I usually tell my managers. "Thank you for your service" :-)
