 Crazy day. First, it was declared that we have a 7.5-hour planning meeting. They more or less honestly reported the status, the growth, etc; well... not impressive, but manageable. Then a weird guy was reporting how we bravely produce hundreds (or thousands) jira points, and never catch up with the planned estimates of jira points, which means that nobody's cheating. Reminded me a Columbian guy, he owned a farm in the mountains (of Columbia), and he visited it like once a month, and he made sure that he gave the peasants enough tasks so that they would not be able to finish them all, and, consequently, won't dare to complain.

Then suddenly that meeting ended. It was actually split into smaller parts, team-wise, so I was only invited to three, of which I attended one and a half.

I deployed my shit to staging, but it was not working. Why? Because linkerd was crashing. Good that Mahesh was informed, and removed linkerd from configuration. Then my stuff started working. And so far it does not leak the memory. I'll have to run my load test against stg, but somehow the existing Gatling test does not want to talk to an external server (https, credentials, etc, and everything's in xml...) Whatever, I'll write my own load script, big deal, curling it in a loop. Have to find logs in new relic, too.

So I went to the movies, to relax, by 20:30. But the movie was pretty stupid ("something weird in Venice", or something). Kitsch. So, after about 70 minutes, I went home. Opened my work computer.

There's a panic now, coming from, well, Columbia! Wilmar writes that the service he's working on suddenly stopped accepting data from our pardners. What data? The same fucking data as the official import job was importing for years. That service, written obviously by "other people", duplicated the job (which was going to be removed soon). And their code wants that specific boolean in quotes, and if it's not... You know. I wrote to Wilmar, wrote to Karen, wrote to poor Raghave, whose PM Jaime already created a jira case regarding "roll it back".

WTF, right?

I also had to add the fact that nix just stopped working, or, rather, showing up on my machine; Jeremy says it's not needed, just need to install a proper ammonite. I did it according to his new docs, but it does not work. We agreed to get together tomorrow and follow his instructions and see wtf is going on. Should I also say that IntelliJ again does not see OpenJDK@8? Well, whatever. At times it does. SBT is ok, in this relation.

What's interesting, that crazy Chris is now in good phase (I believe he's a bit deranged, MDP or something), and is pretty helpful.
