Hire Mark ASAP 😊
Just got caught up in the latest round of terminations from Microsoft.

If anyone needs a "batteries included" advocate who really knows code, AI, and real production concerns + solutions, ping me! Ready to make great things happen for you.

Wait, so ARM is little-endian? The perfidy! The effrontery!

Any Bay Area photographers around here? I’m looking for a vantage point to capture a time lapse of the fog coming in over the hills. Thinking more Peninsula-ish than in the City.

I hope everyone who celebrates is planning to have this awesome of a Christmas.

Not all of my #advent posts are for the lulz. This one gets me every year. "It's okay. He's here."

It probably didn't happen, but hey, it's Christmas.

"CMake isn't a build system; it's a build system generator."

Okay, well, now I have two problems.

(Happily cmake.org is more straightforward than this. But reading tutorials that try to tell me I am not fighting with a build system? Tim: 🤬.)

This is a smart match.

Git submodules are great. They're an elegant twist on Git's model of the world that almost makes C's approach to dependency management (to wit, "What, you need more than a filesystem, princess?") into something workable.

Becoming a Data Streaming Engineer isn't easy. Kafka, Flink, schema governance, event-driven microservices...it's not an easy life.

So we make courses and tutorials on developer.confluent.io to help, but we also make videos like this. This...is Confluent Developer.

Americans don't do enough creative Advent calendars. Sure, we'll do 24 chocolates of 24 single-malt whiskeys or whatever, but 24 days of Flink tips? Those always seem to come from Europe.

Enter Konstantin Knauf! Today's Flink tip is about EXPLAIN: github.com/knaufk/adven...
