Hey everyone, how's it going?

Today is a reflection on mental health at work. I believe everyone has experienced this at some point in their professional life, but it's always good to remember and be attentive to ourselves.

None of this reflects my current moment, it's just a reflection and should be taken only as a mental trigger. I'm not a psychologist, each in their own field, but I recommend taking a look at the vittude blog for better content on mental health. Writing about this subject for others requires some care as they may interpret the text according to their moment.

Hello everyone!

We usually use some git flow as a development strategy in our teams. Normally 3 branches:

  • main or master
    • Code running in production
    • Protected
    • Usually used only for deployment, as all tests were done on the staging branch.
  • staging or release
    • Code running in staging environment (pre-production)
    • Protected
    • Used for functionality tests in real conditions, bug and problem detection, configuration validation, integration testing, load testing, etc.
  • develop
    • Sum of new features from all teams and hotfixes found in production.

We usually have a flow similar to this which is the idea of gitflow and very well accepted nowadays.

When building our homes, we dedicate special attention to essential systems that provide comfort and security, such as the location of water registers for easy access and operation, and electrical panel planning to ensure circuits are well-distributed and sized to our needs. However, we often neglect a vital element: local network infrastructure.
