Great post.

But that’s work. Work is not life.

I think the fun of writing code by hand matters at work too. It’s a big part of what keeps me creative and productive over the long run, and probably helps prevent burnout, even when it isn’t the fastest way to get the immediate task done.

There’s a lot of value in making sure people are happy with their work and continue enjoying what they do. To me, it’s about finding the right balance between short-term efficiency and long-term enjoyment and productivity.

Got three Supermicro E302-12D-8C fanless servers to play with. Planning to set up a small Ganeti cluster on NixOS, experimenting with DRBD and live VM migration. The goal is to be able to take any physical node down for upgrades or maintenance without having to shut down the VMs.
