As part of this, I'm releasing highlander_pg as open source. It's a variant of my original highlander package, which uses postgres advisory locks. It's solid! It is ergonomic! It is production-tested!

The curse of social media: not just for software engineering but other areas as I observe (say, hiring, investing, product management, venture capital etc)

Those the best at their craft are usually busy building not writing/posting. Viral posts often wrong in many ways etc
