Had a fun crossover between real life and distributed systems failing me. Booked a hotel using Cash + Point using @IHGhotels - card charged and points removed from account but no reservation. Activity in account shows the transactions but no reservation. Computers are bad.

A year later, and a lot of reflection, I'm doing better-ish. Still hurt, but have had a lot of love and support from family and friends. Made a space that's mine, and had some fun along the way. SF next :) Still believe in love, will just be more careful next time. ❤️
Life update: Today is both my last day in Seattle and also my 10 year anniversary to the day. Bittersweet to say the least - but I don't regret a moment of it. So many great memories and so many amazing humans. Not sure where home is just yet - but onwards and upwards. ❤️

Sometimes otherwise good people make bad decisions. And it fucking hurts. And as always - keep your infra in code and use declarative Linux. Don't be a monster.

Is it better to log with no context or fail? . Socrates - if he built distributed systems, probably.
