A few years ago, sitting in an emergency room, I realized I'm not
getting any younger and if I want to enjoy some highly physical
outdoor activities for grownups these are the very best years I have
left to go and do them. Instead of aggravating my RSI with further
repetitive motions on the weekends (i.e. trying to learn how to suck
less at programming) I mostly wrench on an old BMW coupe and drive it
to the mountains (documenting that journey, and the discovery of
German engineering failures, was best left to social media and
enthusiast forums).
Around the same time I switched jobs, and the most interesting stuff I
encounter that I could write about I can't really write about, because
it would disclose too much about our infrastructure. If you are
interested in HAProxy for the enterprise you can follow development on
the official blog.
