 So, I have two PRs and nobody is much interested in reviewing them.

We have a "sync-up" meeting today, and Renato suggested to throw in topics to discuss; one of two my topics was changing our policy of posting PRs for review. I tried to put it as gently as possible. Seems like it worked. Sent one to Jorge. Karen looked at another, there's a pretty interesting issue of rate limiting that I have to check before merging.

Anyway, cool. Meanwhile I was working on making my "library project" to build on Jenkins. So far no success. I stripped it of all the fluff - no way.

Then we had a "QA for API" meeting: our QA from Africa, two managers, me and Jacob. Seems like QA managers are either clueless in general (regarding QA) or clueless regarding what our developers do. But anyway, everyone was happy with what our QA from Africa does. She's really efficient and smart.

Then we had a 1-1 with Jacob. Discussed my "sarcasm" - I explained to him in details why I wanted to discuss with him the sarcasm that maybe not everyone appreciated. Seems to be ok. Then discussed the "mainline" stuff I've been doing lately, and the sidekicks (I have 2.5 of them). Jacob said that because of Facebook's demands/requirements/audit I should rather focus on Scala version upgrade in one project (I was doing it a month ago, but then put it on the back burner). Ok, sure, will do. Sent a question to Mahesh regarding whether he knows wtf is going on with my library project, and will freeze it for a while. Mahesh' advice did not work.

Also Jacob told me that I probably have the highest engineer salary in the company. Nice, and I told him that I agreed to go seriously down, because I really liked the interview. So, East Coast, how do people live there?

Just went around the two PRs, but can't seriously work on them now, have to drive to Toulouse right away.
