September
I missed this month and am backfilling a few notes with a large lag. In September we had a company hack-week in Bulgarie, continuing our work on the developer portal that we started last year. We added self-provisioning of test accounts, rewrote the website in Astro, and added custom rendering of OpenAPI specs.
At the end of the month we flew to Bosnia for a 10 day vacation.
Reading
- Where does my computer get the time from? - slides from a talk about computer time and NTP. Computers have precise time thanks to a chain going from NTP Servers, satellites, all the way to US Naval Observatory, atomic clocks, and a lot of scientist making sure that clock stay in sync with actual earth position.
This month I learned
- Goodhart’s law - “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”.
