I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

Every site in the early 2000s had a left nav menu

The tiny, tiny footprint and speed to load.

I would think I’d probably use an IDE if I was coding all the time.

Heck, I’m only using it because JFE got too old.

I do have VSCode set up even with the same scheme as NP++… but let’s face it, the most complex things I’m using are PowerShell and Node JS.

Because I have a family subscription. YT and YT music for the whole family, means my kids are ad free and managed. I use the heck out of it and can afford it.

I don’t pay for Spotify, and with the price hike Disney + is about to get the eye patch treatment.

But I really do use the heck out of YT, so for me it’s worth it.

But if you don’t see the value, do what you gotta do.

The object model is much easier to understand in PowerShell.

Trinity used NMAP and scanned for real known SSH vulnerabilities when hacking the power station in Matrix Reloaded.

'78

Space Invaders

I had computers from a young age.

ASM coding on a Microbee running CP/M OS was where I started somewhere around 1986.

But I grew up as they did and have a deep understanding of how they work.

I’m a Senior SysAdmin/Systems Architect these days.

I still have a @hotmail.com email address that is just my name. No numbers or anything.

To address the whooshing sound…
Smells like Teen Spirit:
“I feel stupid, and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us”

AFAICT Gen X should really just be split into Boomers and early millennials.

I’m a late gen X (1978) and do not associate with boomers at all.

We’re basically millennials before the internet.

Used to live by Sennheiser headphones

Then I discovered ANC headphones. Then my phone lost its headphone jack.

Until Sennheiser have an ANC BT headphone option to rival Bose or Sony, they have lost that market segment.
