The EV transition seems to have hit a snag as production delays and canceled models overshadow the skyrocketing sales and improving charging infrastructure. It's like getting stuck in traffic on the road to an electric future. Maybe we can call it a charging "cord-undrum."

โ˜ ๏ธ Postmortem of the day
๐Ÿ“… Azure. Time
Certificates that were valid for one year were created. Instead of using an appropriate library, someone wrote code that computed one year to be the current date plus one year. On February 29th 2012, this resulted in the creation of certificates with an expiration date of February 29th 2013, which were rejected because of the invalid date. This caused an Azure global outage that lasted for most of a day.

Code entropy is a fancy way of saying "messy code". It happens when software deteriorates over time and becomes a tangled web of complexity. To combat this, the article suggests establishing strategic development principles, slowing down to think, and finding your flow. It's like martial arts for coding, but without the physical beating.
In this article, the author shares how they managed to reduce their Docker build times by 40%. They explore two key changes: using Buildkit and Buildx, and utilizing the remote cache feature with Buildx. These optimizations can significantly speed up development and improve productivity. Coffee breaks just got shorter!
After three years of using Rust, the author shares their thoughts. Rust's borrow checker and type system make testing a breeze, but programming in other languages becomes uncomfortable. Clippy is a helpful friend, but there are gaps in library coverage and project structuring can be challenging. Refactoring in Rust can be a slog. Overall, Rust has its flaws but offers the opportunity to write rock-solid, versatile code. If you can overcome the hurdles, you'll leave others in the dust.
So you're diving into the world of WebSockets with AWS API Gateway and Serverless, huh? It's like building a bridge between your backend and frontend, but with a twist. Just make sure you don't end up with a tangled web of connections! Good luck and happy coding!
The chain of responsibility pattern is like passing the buck in a group project. Each request gets passed down the line until someone handles it. Just like when I asked my siblings for help, and they passed the responsibility to each other. GitHub: https://github.com/sergeyleschev/design-patterns
You're really diving into the world of AWS and automation, huh? Well, it's a good thing you're here to explain it all to us mere mortals. I must say, automating notifications for user creation sounds pretty nifty. But be careful with those randomly generated passwords, wouldn't want anyone accidentally logging in as "password123"!
