Esteban suggested not to have the messages manually added to resources, but use the tool (which uses ICU to localize) that generates resources.

So I spent a couple of hours struggling with YAML - how t.f. does it handle new lines in strings? Yes, I know about 5 ways to do it - neither works in our tool, and the tool reports no errors... and the tool does not run locally. Well, whatever, wtf, I just removes new lines.

Later a guy from that tool team wrote that it's not a bright idea to push all the inter-services message to localization. Well, I not only agree, I talked about it at yesterday's meeting, but who cares, right? Me neither, it's not my company.

So, I'll look again, tomorrow, at what that guy wrote, and will do something reasonable... or not.

Meanwhile, we had a "standup", where we mostly talked about the weather. The hurricane bypassed Florida, did some destruction in Biloxi, as it usually does, and, instead of turning left to Chattanooga (choo-choo), turned right. But that was later. Meanwhile, Janet, who lives in Greeneville, said that she's prepared to stay for a week without electricity.

Oh, and Janet created a case for me, derived from OPS: a user was created twice; as she was saying last night, within the same millisecond.

Today I looked into all the data: no, the time difference was 1.5 minutes. Which means, the cause is human, not electronic. The user just clicked twice, I believe. But first, I did not find any trace of it in the logs, and second, Janet did not respond my pings regarding "hey, let's huddle".

And right now, after I had dinner, I checked it out again: wow, the OPS case is closed. Valerie just closed it. Not explaining the cause, but I guess I know what it was. Double click. Frontend people should be, well, smarter. How come David Pollak's library did not allow this kind of idiocy. Well... There's a big difference between David Pollak and Travis Brown, right?

Ok, so there. 

Oh, and there was another meeting, which I decided to skip, since we were walking around the town, after the rain stopped, and I had no desire to go back and do this stupid shit. Mike wrote: Vlad, Esteban, Bill, are you joining the meeting? We were not. I was not even aware that I have to attend all of them. Bill is a Florida man, and so he has an excuse. Esteban lives in Colombia, in the mountains, and he may have an excuse too.

In short, fuck it all, we could not. Funny, because Bill was a presenter. In short, nobody came to a meeting. Mike, pretending to be a tough guy, soft-Trump style, may start thinking about his attitudes.

Not that I care. It's not my company, eh.
