People often wonder if ADHD is a “real” problem. But this is it right here. Ian is right and something as trivial as boiling an egg can be a challenge.

How you ask?! How can you possibly screw up boiling an egg!?!

Let me explain.. As a reminder, here is the steps required to boil an egg:

- Put eggs in sauce pan
- Cover eggs with water
- Put on high heat
- Wait until water boils
- Turn down the heat
- Wait x minutes for your perfect egg
- Enjoy perfect egg 🥚

Simple right? Ha! If only..

So it is mental health awareness day. Which is why I am going to be doing a megatread on what it is like to live with ADHD and depression.

There is no need to worry about me. Yes, it is incredible hard, but I am mostly fine.

I know I should know better, but I am again blown away by how incredible @honeycombio is..

We had an incredible weird bug where sometimes a header wouldn't be set for what seemed like a particular customer.
And it would crash the server process for only one particular employee. And also for me, but not my co-founder.

After a quick @honeycombio query on all the requests from my IP with their sitename gave us the request IDs to search Cloudwatch and found the bug. Turns out if a cookie wasn't set a regex would explode..

But... that should be impossible!

So whenever I rave to someone about @swardley's Wardley Mapping I get asked for an example that isn't a toy example. So tonight I set down to create a slightly more readable version that the scribbled upon one on my desk. Here is @Bitgenics's map: @swardley Basically companies who want to build web applications for real need a way to get that into production and to host that.
Doing it seriously means Server-Side Rendering & Code Splitting, which requires a server that can handle that. 2/
