BC PAIRPROGRAMMING
Saved by @m4rc0v0nh4g3n

For the past 3 months, I've been consistently pair-programming with my CTO.

Here's how it started, the progress, and what I've learnt along the way.

🧵

 I'd always been vaguely interested in pairing, but it wasn't something we really did in my first job.

My interest was piqued by this (oh so timely!) tweet from James, a week before I started my new job:

In my onboarding, I mentioned this to my CTO and he was open to giving it a go.

We decided to incorporate it into our workflow and agreed to slack each other whenever we wanted to pair.

However, this did not go to plan.

3/13
Neither of us were in the habit of pairing and honestly, I had so much imposter syndrome around being hired that I was hesitant to ask because I didn't want to reveal how "terrible" I was.

(I moved from a largely HTML/CSS role to a full-blown React/Redux environment.)

Two weeks went by with little pairing.

In my week three one-to-one, I finally mentioned my struggles with the massive codebase & the panic I was feeling.

My CTO immediately came up with a game-plan, and we formally scheduled two weekly pairing sessions henceforth.

The relief I felt about how it was handled was palpable.

As the weeks went by, we've gotten more comfortable pairing with each other.

For a while, our two scheduled weekly pairing sessions turned into four, as we started to ad-hoc slack each other to work together beyond our scheduled times.

7/13
We'll pair on fixing bugs, implementing feature work & sometimes have mini-learning sessions.

For example, we're slowly transitioning our codebase to TypeScript. My CTO talked through what he's done so far, his learnings, and next steps.

I usually ask a million questions.

8/13
POSITIVES:

I've been able to familiarise myself with the codebase much faster, ask questions, & assimilate many of my CTO's workflow habits.

I've learnt small VSCode tricks & really started to appreciate the importance of reading documentation.

It also fostered teamwork.

9/13
NEGATIVES:

It requires a certain amount of vulnerability to pair with someone much better. I want to show my best, but constantly feel "stupid" for not knowing or forgetting things.

Luckily I don't get treated as such, however, it's an internal battle I face each time.

10/13
For the most part, it's also currently a one-way stream because our levels are so different. (However, I once helped solve a CSS issue and made it even better than it was... that felt awesome!)

Would I suggest adding pairing into your workflow?

Absolutely!

11/13
I'm more comfortable with it now and have since paired with other devs to help them out. Plus, you both get to practice speaking the language of your craft.

If you use Mac, I highly recommend @tuple for pairing. The team has done an amazing job with it!

Hopefully, this has shed a bit of light on what pairing involves.

I present to you all, my (possibly) superthread On how and why the Unknown God from Genshin Impact, and The Herrscher of Void/God Kiana/Sirin from Honkai Impact!

First off! We’ll start with the obvious things that constitute a possible connection.

They share the same Japanese Voice actress! Rie Kugimiya.
Usually this is a stretch reason, but considering everything else, it’s not unlikely that it’s the same character.

Secondly, their Appearances.
The both have very long white hair with identical bang style, and a very noticeable small piece of hair on top that curls upwards. That’s a defining part Of all of Kiana’s hairstyles, and for it to be shared with this god says something.


Another notable thing is their eyes. They both have Glowing golden eyes with very similar appearances. They contain a ring, and a 4-point star pupil. Resemblant of a scope if you will. That’s The Herrscher of Void’s defining characteristic


If you’d even like to take a look at their outfits, there’s resemblances including the black fur collar, the designs on the torso and chest, and the use of something similar to coat tails/skirt. The Herrscher can change their outfit and they aren’t stuck with one. Sirin does this

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.


Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that


mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared


here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah

Legend says that here Maharishi Vasishta prayed to Narasimha to end the demon Rakta Vilochana.

Narasimha created Maha Maya, also called Ashwaroodambika or Gurralakka to suck his blood as he got a boon from Brahma that blood falling from his body would produce another demon.


After his death, the stream of blood was let out by Maya to form a pond called Rakta Kulya.

Narasimha,then,washed Sudarshan Chakra at a place called Chakra Tirtha.

Brahma is said to have performed Yagna and installed Shiva Linga here. Hence the place was called Antarvedi.


Later Sri Rama prayed here and Arjun also visited here.

Panchamrita Abhishekam is done every day.
One can have Nijarupa Darshanam (main murti without any decorative shield) between 6.00 a.m. and 8.00 a.m.

Anna Prasadam is very famous and distributed daily from 10:30 to 2 pm.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
