cloud engineer starting in May, so I needed a place where I can sit next to

@pati_gallardo Impact: how meaningful is my

Right! It's the wrong framing, manual is seen as less sophisticated. But testers
are exploratory system engineers who uncover unknown behaviour (AKA bugs). This
requires a wide range of cognitive, technical and collaborative skills. I prefer
to call them Quality Advocates.

extremely excited to be meeting you in person again!

You might not have @NordicTweets on your
radar if you are interested in working on #cloud-based projects because we don't
have a track record in building world class cloud solutions ... yet. But have a
look at this:
(source:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/-/media/Investor-Relations-and-QA/FactSheets/Factsheet_Nordicsemi.pdf)
#CellularIoT revenue last year was ~3%, it's cute. But this is going to grow
rapidly; after all Nordic invested USD$100M+ into this new product (the
#nRF9160), and launched it in 2018. It takes a while for hardware products to
reach production maturity, but it's starting now.
So, if you are looking to join a young and developing segment, within a very
well established and technically excellent organization, which will give you
both access to fantastic resources and a lot of opportunities to grow learn,
have a look at our jobs: https://www.nordicsemi.com/About-us/Vacant-Positions
We have quite a few cloud, frontend, and mobile roles which you might not
associate with a chip manufacturer. My more experienced colleagues especially
enjoy the deep focus on solving those challenging technical problems, which we
can't google, because we see them first.
I'm happy to answer you questions, my DMs are always open.
Note that contrary to what is mentioned in the blog post, support is not yet
available in CloudFormation or CDK:

@kmelve
@sanity_io Yeah, I'm not saying this is true
for anyone, but me.
One solution could be a checkbox during signing: "email me getting started
instructions".
@kmelve
@sanity_io Yeah, there is no other obvious
solution then releasing it and seeing how it performs.
If I were interested in an email, I'd love to get a hello world walkthrough with
pre-filled API keys and TypeScriptsample, so I can start building withouth
needing to dig through the docs.

Scary implications in there.

feedback, because you will discover what's important for you, and what they
might not even have on the radar. And sometimes managers leave.

We did some serious hiking today on the #rotavicentina in #Portugal.




The trail was a bit tricky, though:

Is there a Node.js espresso also?!
Good night!
@badboy_ Wait until I tell you about the prices

Can anyone explain to me, why they put water bottles outside on the walls here
in Portugal?
@cathrinew Ahhh, that's interesting! I wouldn't
have imagined that... And yes, a lot of stray cats around here. /cc
@olafurw
If that's not an original Norwegian Ostehøvel!
Very happy with my new @VIVOBAREFOOT ESC
Tracker Forest. The profile is great but it still feels very flexible. Great for
rougher terrain.
Second day hiking on the #rotavicentina in #portugal completed. 22 km and not
nearly as windy as yesterday. With around 18 degrees it had the perfect hiking
conditions.








@zimmskal Sounds legit! 🧛♂️
@CuriousAgilist Not needed, because
drinking water in this region is safe from the tap and you can buy it in stores
cheaply as well.
@lucianadrian No hablo español!
@aebaR Ha, thanks for confirming this!
@ataner
@lucianadrian Oops.
@NadiaZuerich My followers mostly agreed
that it is that, or to fend off cats.
Heisann, a familiar Norwegian face! #portugal
Yesterday we had a rainy day on the #rotavicentina here in #Portugal, but our
gear we wear every day in Norway held up pretty good.




At the end of the hike we walked among cork trees.




... and found the most awesome café in Vila Nova de Milfontes! Enjoying their
pastries was so much better after a hike like this!

@web_goddess I'll be back at work in May,
happy to have a chat about it! Working on cloud solutions at a Norwegian
semiconductor manufacturer who does not support remote work creates some unique
challenges for me, when it comes to hiring seniors.
@martinjuhasz Thank you for the feedback!
The pictures don't tell the full "picture". Check out my Insta stories where I
have videos with sound. It's just amazing how varied the nature here is. We
totally love it, even in rain.
I think scaring away flies seems to be the use case.
@jrosaproenca I don't drink wine, instead
I'm having this:
@jrosaproenca It's a good Porter for the
warmer days, not too heavy!
@jrosaproenca I also found this to be
extremely good:
@_francied I think we can't compare our two
employers...
Beach day in Vila Nova de Milfontes! #rotavicentina #portugal








And ate for 30 € (drinks not pictured) at https://m.facebook.com/18epiques




@_francied In general we are doing quite well,
we hired around 200 people last year, which is roughly +20%. And most are
engineers. I have some special challenges, which I think boil down to the
missing track record my employer has for cloud solutions.
@_francied And most seniors can find work at
established cloud solution providers which gives them a higher chance of success
and basically a guaranteed career path, because they already have huge revenue
in cloud services. My employer hasn't yet reported any revenue from cloud
businesses.

@jrosaproenca When we left Monday two weeks

I'm working with a codebase where #GraphQL queries are shared and reused between

solved by the GraphQL client?

Another riddle from #Portugal. What are these blocks extending from the wall

is completely ignorant and morally bankrupt.

@liran_tal
@pati_gallardo There must be a step where
repo owners approve the bounty (to signal that they are welcome for the given
issue). And it will also be important to communicate what an acceptable solution
should be to claim the bounty, and that a solving PR may not be accepted by the
repo owner.
@w3ltraumpirat It's hard to explain. It's a
