 This morning I sent individual reminders to my slow reviewers, Bill and... who was the other one, whatever. But since I had two PRs for the same Jira case, by mistake I sent a link not to the small one (6 files), but to the large one (28 files). And they approved it. Wow, cool, merged it. And since in the small one I already added some header comments, now I have another PR.

Meanwhile I started working on that strange case, "remove persistence server, keeping its Kafka logging". Halfway there.

Then Esteban asked me if I have a minute. He needs to run my doc tool. So we opened, how they call it, the video on slack, and we ran it, and I found that oops, I had a problem in "prepare" script. Did not bump into it, because "it's just a script". So I told him to hold on, went ahead and updated the script and the readme, sent for review. He approved it, but the other reviewer, Bill, seems to be somewhere, traveling. Ok, tomorrow will ask someone else.

Also, that "version repair" that I finished yesterday, nobody of those whom I asked to look, bothered to look. So I just approved it (I'm a reviewer), ait it was merged. If you want to improve it further, improve it further.

What else did I do? All these things.

Then, eventually, a planning meeting. Jeremey said that big changes are coming our way. And specifically, "you, Vlad, will have a last something to do". I was feeling that I was on a bench. My favorite place now, a bench.

Next Jeremey told us, that it's a secret, but there will be a totall reshuffle, all the teams under his control are reorganised, he goes to another department, and we are supposed to drop Scala and switch to Go and Rust. I don't mind getting closer to Rust. But if they say "write in Go", I go.

Unfortunately, I did not catch up many details, since, during that meeting, my wife called from Toulouse, and the contractors came to tell me to write down the thermostat MAC address into an app on my phone. That's while the fate of Scala in our company was being decided (or, as Trump says, "decimated"). Blame typelevel.

After the meeting there was a 15-minute break, then a standup (which only half of the team attends usually), and that was it. I take breaks between meetings as breaks. But anyway, I have a comfortable pile of small but mysterious things to work on. That's what I've been doing at this company so far. Solving puzzles. That's what contractors do, according to some. According to others, contractors are in full control. Ok, Esteban behaves like this. Good luck.
