Data stream, data lake, data sea, data ocean.. where can we go next?

One of the annoying things about working in a platfrom IT team, is that none of the DTAP environments make sense.

One person's Acceptance is another person's Production. All of the flags you've stored in your mind trigger for the wrong reasons. 🥲

Reading about space exploration as part of research for a browser-based space game .. and .. 🤯

Only money and pessimism is holding us back. It's too much money for a singular company or government and there's no existential threat that provokes us to do it.

Most if not all technologies are there, maybe untested, but theoretically they should work. Like "In situ resource utilization" (extract ores/minerals/compounds from the ground) and "Propulsive fluid accumulator" (extract gasses from orbit). I had no idea.. 🚀

I'm so confused about people who harass emergency personnel, complain about parcel delivery vans or people who litter deep in the forest.

Do you want somebody to hold up your ambulance when you're dying? Do you never order something online? How are you willing to walk 1 hour into a forest, into actual hike territory time, only to pollute the same nature you're trying to enjoy?

I'm noticing these occurrences way too much to pin it on a handful of sociopaths.. there's just actual people who live like this.
