Шербурские Зонтики

Ну я не знаю, люди определенных поколений смотрели это явно не по разу, а сейчас все забыли, наверно.

Короче, там пацан, Ги, уходит в армию, а его Же, в исполнении Катрин Денев, поет "ne me quitte pas, mon amour". После чего выходит замуж за ювелира. Потом он возвращается, и типа женится на Мадлен, на двоюродной, что ли, сестре. И годы спустя она специально, проездом из, скажем, Ниццы в Париж, заезжает "по дороге" в Шербур, чисто ради ностальгии, и встречает его, и они оба, собственно, молчат, но ничего не забыли.

Так вот, а я смотрю фильм про Бардо, и там Трентиньяна, после фильма "И создал бог женщину", где он играл с Бардо (у которой вчера был день рожденья, кстати), забрали в армию (он в натуре служил несколько лет) - и Бардо приезжает к нему в гости! И его тут же отпускают в увольнительную! 

Вот я и думаю... а Женевьева-то что ж? Вроде тоже не из нищей семьи была.

Такие дела.

 So, what's up? Since last night I had deployed that shit to staging, I had to pummel it with load test. Except that the loadtest was not exactly ready to do it. Just did not work. And also, what's the url for the service, exactly? Omfg.

Then there was a "slack standup meeting" (my favorite: just send a message in a couple of lines describing what you are doing.

Then, since I was stuck with testing, I worked on another project (the one with 102 files updated), to send chunks with updates. Ok, I did. Except that I was tired from config service refusing to return metrics.conf, and just copy-pasted it into "resources" - for local testing, of course.

And then it was Chris again. "Why do you do it", etc. I wrote to him in private, asking to take a break from picking on me for a while, and just ignore my pull requests. Suddenly he changed his tone, from his usual trolling to a normal friendly one.

I saw those friendly people back in Russia. Once there were three of them, and when they started bullying a girl on the escalator, I told them not to; they stopped, and got friendly; then, in the street, they waited for me, and assaulted, etc. I know this trick.

But anyway, he seems to have got the meaning of my message, so... do I care? No, I don't fucking care.

Also, he approved my PR, that's all I needed from him.

Then we had a "planning meeting" in the team. Thank god nothing where I was participating was mentioned. It was a "classical scrum" - a big project was vaguely, briefly explained (on most occasions somebody was already on it), and then we were supposed to vote whether it is S,M,L,XL, XXL, etc. Some are humongous. Everybody gave XXXXL to such projects. But does this look like serious work? No, of course. You are supposed to guess. Why not give it to chatGPT to guess. The bot can produce nonsense real fast.

Again, do I care? I just smile. Probably that's how Chinese engineers view their work in America.

Ok, and at last I got free from meetings, and could start thinking.

Eventually I decided just to write a script with curl inside. It turned out the script already exists, and is pretty much usable. So I only added a line to README.md, to make sure I won't forget what I've been doing, and pummeled Staging for a short while.

Then I looked around in New Relic (last time I used it 6 years ago), found the logs, saw the exceptions that memory leak checker throws - good! Then I looked in another log (why is it not in the same log?), saw fresh reports of "0 direct memory taken" - perfect. Mission accomplished.

So I copied chunks of these logs into the doc I wrote, send the link to Karen, and was going to send it to Jacob, but saw that Jacob was already asking me how I am doing. I'm doing just fine; it's a happy week end. Sent him too the link and shared my plans. It turned out that our SRE reboot that machine every 12 hours. Manually (FIIK why).

Sent a PR with this logging disabled (we don't want to see "memory abused = 0" logged every 5 seconds. We are good now.

And closed the computer. Oh, before I also merged another PR, with 8 files out of 102 committed.
