    Looking forward to 2023

    I always say I don't make new years resolutions but it's a total lie, I fall victim to the artificial 'new start' myth every time. I try not to do too many things because I there's a good chance I won't actually do any of them, so a smaller list means less things to fail at :D

    More handy pytest snippets

    It's been a while, but I'm back messing with mocking again. This time I'm dealing with a code base with ~600 tests, about 50% of which make at least one external call to something, an API, a database, all sorts.

    Kubernetes, making a very basic start

    So New Job use K8s. I've managed to avoid it thus far, so I only have a vague understanding of how it works. What's the best way to learn a new tool? Come up with a project you can use it on of course, and the best candidate I have right now is the (never ending) energy monitor project, so here we go.

    More thoughts about blockchain (I'm sorry)

    I've been thinking about blockchain recently. I am, like most people, not convinced by blockchain yet I seem to have accidentally found myself having to defend it (the technology that is not its current uses, there's no defending NFTs).

    Gay babies for everyone!

    So we were very lucky when we decided we wanted to have a kid. Wife just went to the doctor and asked what we needed to do, and she just happened to get the attention of one of the partners of the practice who did all kinds of shenanigans we were not privy to that meant we were entitled to up to 3 rounds of IUI treatment for no cost. We were extra lucky that she got knocked up on the first go so there was no back and forth and disappointments and stress (well there was some stress...!!).
