After listening almost exclusively during last weekend, I can say Traveling of @TheRealRoxette is probably one of the most underrated albums. Notable hits in 🧵

I was trying to understand why it takes a significant amount of time (like a few seconds) to start a new zsh session.
I spent a few hrs yesterday optimizing #zsh startup time.
Thread Key learnings:
- turn off plug-ins that you didn't use. I enabled it "just in case I would use," and I never did. For example, I got rid of rbenv (later in this thread) and removed the zsh plugin.

I had a similar situation during my @kafkastreams
talk on @devnexus. I was using #Starwars metaphor to explain «event time» vs «processing time». And I also mentioned, «Machete order» of watching #Starwars. And the author of «Machete order» was in a room @rodhilton If you have no idea what is «Machete order» you're missing out big time. nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the…

In these isolation times, I'm rewatching #BattlestarGalactica
Like a good book, it reallydepends in what age you're reading/watching it.
I see more deep story as I so 15 years ago. Also interesting: only because it isn't available in 1080p, you can tell it's old.
Cinematography and visual effects are on point 👌🏽 (a lot of practical effects, not a lot of green screen). Golden era of SciFi (before Syfy) channel!

For those of you who missed my developer.confluent.io (you still can sign up there) newsletter earlier this week here are some things you can catch up on during quarantine (thread) Maybe you started out 2020 with a New Year’s resolution of reading more, but somehow you’ve fallen behind. The good news, everyone, is it’s not too late to catch up!

Did you enjoy this episode of #streamingaudio podcast with ⁦@KentBeck⁩ and ⁦@tlberglund⁩ the way I did? I would literally pay money to appear in the same room and just watch these two chatting overcast.fm/+NnQox6Ylw interesting enough: I never heard Kent speaking before (I did read his books tho) but in my mind, he would speaking exactly how we did in a podcast

;@TheCrownNetflix season 3 is outstanding.
Despite the fact I loved Claire Foy as Elizabeth II, I was satisfied with a cast change in s3. Olivia Coleman is remarkable. She completely dissolved in character. I liked the way they did "transition" from young Elizabeth... to more mature in episode 1 and reminded us about it in ep 10.
Josh O'Connor, as Prince Charles, was terrific. In general, I like shifted focus from The Queen to The Family (enjoyed "Moondust" episode around Phillip). And the story around Prince Charles.

Ok, we decided not to release every episode every week (I'm looking at you @themandalorian) but rather release whole season (3 episodes, heh) @netflix style.
Happy binging @apachekafka @kubernetesio

P.s. links to rest of episodes are in thread down below Image @apachekafka @kubernetesio Image

Even though we have quite mature @apachekafka community here in #nyc, it worth sometimes to get back to basics.
If you know anyone who will benefit from Kafka 101, let them know that I will be doing Kafka 101 at #NYCKafka in January! I don't know a better opportunity to start 2020 with learning one of the hottest technologies (don't @ me) in #dataengineering

I don't always listen podcasts, but when I do I listen #streaminaudio

@confluentinc @jaykreps is spot on 👌 about #usability vs #scalability
