Tobrien<p>Incidents calls that last longer than 6 hours are a sign you don&#39;t have the right telemetry... or the right people.</p>
Tobrien<p>Then I tried to explain that latency fluctuations can start to resemble Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities to blank stares.<br />&quot;Oh, right, what that? Waves, OK? Just waves. Sorry.&quot;</p>
Tobrien<p>Sometimes it is too cold to ski. Today is that day.</p>
Tobrien<p>If I ever do get old, I&#39;m going to get cranky about cloud cost waste.</p>
Tobrien<p>Someone asked me why I&#39;m not using Twitter.<br />My response: &quot;Are we still friends? I&#39;m not 100% certain we are.&quot;</p>
Tobrien<p>Friends of mine want me to teach them how to ski this week:<br />A. I am not good enough to teach anyone.<br />B. It&#39;s holiday weekend, you don&#39;t ski on holiday weekends. <br />C. It is -5F, really?</p>
Tobrien<p>JSON fields in tables and parsing said fields in SQL always makes my head hurt.</p>

Tobrien<p>And, by this I mean that we&#39;re dealing with an individual who subscribes to something similar to Louis&#39; Divine Right of Kings fascination. <br />Between Henry VIII, Louis XIV, and the current world&#39;s richest... I am convinced our current iteration may wreak greater damage.</p>
