trying to make new friends is rough these days

ok. been going full steam since December with 1 day off since. managing teams, review designs, designing, prototyping, code reviewing, mentoring, and doing project. management. i get that it's a "flat" org structure but hire proper PMs and BAs instead of trying to pinch pennies. all the while, i see marketing with deeeeeeep pockets spending money on anything like mommy and daddy are funding their spring break getaway. i need time to disconnect and recharge my spirit.

dumb mistake on my part. so when accessing an AWS S3 store via the Java SDK, make sure you don't use the virtual-hosted URL to connect and to list objects in a bucket. you will pull your hair out when you see puts and gets work but list bucket doesn't. a major hint is if your put/get/delete calls don't accept the bucket name but instead accept the top level prefix, then you're doing it wrong :/

hey i'm 49 years young today. can i get some ❤?
us old dudes have feelings too. i got praise from management for all of my above-and-beyond work and contributions, but my social life? meh: anemic. in need of virtual hugs and stuff.

I'm proud of being a patient coder dooder helping other younger dooders and dooderettes.
