My first mistake was reading Minnpost. https://www.minnpost.com/metro/2023/05/minneapolis-mayor-wants-workers-downtown-three-days-a-week-and-other-takeaways-from-the-state-of-the-city-address/. No #Minneapoils #MayorFrey, you really don’t get it. Downtown is ok, but the commute sucks. Also - the office sucks. I’m in the best technology workspace that HR could imagine- there’s a nice fellow shouting across the room about various bugs - so concentrating why my stuff isn’t working is a little difficult. Also: if you want to catch a disease, the office is a pretty good place to do it.
We have a slow-moving snow storm blowing over right now, and I'm loving the snow-covered vibe right now.

DYK someone designed an AIDS memorial for the Twin Cities in the 1990s? It was designed by David Madson for his master's thesis in architecture. It was never built; Madson was killed by Andrew Cunanan in 1997.
Please read my colleague's awesome article about him; gone far too soon, and he was so much more than just another of a serial killer's victims. Know him, remember him.
So I guess I should do an #introduction
I live in #Minneapoils #minnesota with my spouse (they/them), our toddler son, and a cat. Hobbies are #homebrew #simracing #homeimprovement #mechanic and I dabble in #electronics
For work I'm a backend developer, who's also done infra (I guess you could say #devops). Current code base uses #kotlin #kafka #postgres #rocksdb #ktor
Contributor to #cassandra #ScyllaDB (and a few other OS projects) and have spoken at Cassandra Summit 2016

First significant snowfall since moving to #Minneapoils! Discovered my bike won’t fit on the bus rack 😭
Nice to see some water flowing through Minnehaha Falls in #Minneapoils, but still not a ton! Cool icicles though
