It’s funny. My sister has a very sucessful career in the software industry, and I’m a City Planner.
We’re always confusing the rest of the family at holidays. We both have a lot of strong opinions on development and we’re both interested in the other’s career, so listening to our back and forth conversations has to be maddening.
We grew up in a very Republican area. I stayed and fight the good fight, but my sister has a child and it’s better not to raise children in this environment.
Everything about it makes perfect sense except “floodway”. And, if I buzzword hard enough, I could see that meaning something like the Slashdot effect/hug of death.
Its a streaming overflow area for a data lake. Usually implemented with some sort of hierarchal storage management solution. Its used when you are streaming data somewhere but the connection is interrupted and its suboptimal to add further partitions to your streaming, and your boss isnt cool with just deleting the data that we all know will never be used for anything at all. So you stay up all night moving this crap data around, questioning your life choices and feeling like a moron.
That’s basically a version of how I open Teams meetings with Developers.
“I’m Chilie. I’m a Planner. Are you on fucking crack proposing to build this environmental nightmare in the middle of a floodway?”
I was wondering how a floodway affected software developers but I eventually figured it out.
They get very agitated when they learn their server is in a basement located in a floodway.

That seems like a lot of fun! Do you live in the same city? I would complain abt all the road work
We live on opposite sides of the country.

An hour later, I trod the same path.

… I’m going to start using it that way.
I develop software for mining (ore) operations, so a floodway didn’t sound entirely implausible.
I’ve also spent all week doing tech-support because I’m the only one that’s not on vacation, so my brain is a little fried.
Ah, that’s even more acute. You definitely win this round.
EDIT: Also, hope your tech support ends today (or at least soon) and you don’t have to deal with it again.
I’m in central Europe, so I’ve been off the clock for like, 9 hours or so at this point. I should really sleep and let my brain recuperate a little.

You wouldn’t happen to be talking about the new data center in Fargo, would you?
