I seem to remember reading that when trains came on the scene there was some concern that the high speeds might cause a woman's uterus to fly out of her body.

    Oh yeah. That reminds me a while ago there was some car ad, a car is driving in some beautiful remote mountainous area and the music playing is Major Tom.

    I'm still laughing. Gonna die far away and alone in that tin can.

    Missing some words there. It's "I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola." That line is ambiguous - Lola might be a man or just be glad the singer is a man. Given the rest of the lyrics I think you'd have to say both are likely true.

    As another former Atlassian engineer I'd say kinda yes and kinda no depending on which bits you're looking at.

    One important thing a person could learn is: use existing platforms. Do not build a proprietary version of something like kubernetes. The weird internal eventing systems and fake janky kubernetes junk gave me headaches.

    It's weird to me since it exists and it works but there's not even something like "there's Bitbucket but, you know, yuck".

    Maybe I missed a requirement that it be open source? If so, then I'd fully agree with you - not weird at all.

    I lived in Oklahoma for 3 years and it took me ages to find a group of friends who understood sarcasm. I mean, even the drag queen server at my regular bar seemed baffled by sarcasm.
