Trennung zwischen privater und dienstlicher Technik, als ungewohnter Neuzustand. Die Breite der Spezialitäten, die Tiefe bräuchten, und das niedergetrampelte mentale Gras unter Kreisen, die man läuft, vor oder anstelle selbst trivialer Richtungsentscheidungen. Randbedingungen, Prioritäten, der Vorsprung der Anderen, eigene Grenzen. Fällt es mit den Jahren zunehmend schwer, Realitäten übereinanderzulegen und sich darin zu verorten?
Infrastructures. And breakage. Change many things at once to make things more interesting. Bonus points for breaking things all along lines that have been proven to be stable for ages. The known unknowns, the unknown unknowns and all the mess that is even worse.
Weirdnesses of the day: Noticing ones own former company and certain persons promoted to certain positions, wondering whether anyone else has left in the meantime. And learning, being part of a small product developer, to be competed by Microsoft with an open-source project run as a managed service on Azure and it couldn't feel more confusing than that.
🔌Onward and in and out of calls, wondering where time went again. Flowcharts and organizational structures centered around technology. That kind of growth to observe in years not weeks. And the cleanup that gets more difficult with every step taken.
10pm and on and the sounds slowly calming. Infrastructure thrown away, reconsidered, set up again. Bits still not completely aligned. Meditating complexity and technical advances and being stuck mentally in a more comfortable past and wondering where to draw the line between what's meaningful and affordable and merely interesting to mess with. Indifferent to all this, constellations show up behind the neighbourhood roofs, there are stars on a sky devoid of dense clouds tonight and a shapeless late spring day is drifting into celestial void again. Have a quiet night wherever you are.
