I worry that Bsky devs, not even necessarily the DevRel folks, have not internalized the challenge and limits they face trying to be Posters on the platform where they work

Not all days had only 1 incident, i counted and it's 65 days with at least 1 incident, so more like 72%.

Also biggest contributor to it appears to be copilot lol, though actions is notoriously shit (and past months had a bunch of unicorns overall).

Appreciate the correction!

AWS

AIUI, they've been ordered internally to migrate to Microsoft Azure on a fairly aggressive timetable, and that transition is likely the cause of severe decline in reliability.

So say we all. Having a single 9 of availability as an infrastructure provider is unacceptable.

Of course it's not uniformly distributed (not everyone sees every outage), but wow anecdotally I and many others are hitting *a lot* of these.

We usually focus on uptime as a percentage (how many 9's), but I think that obscures that for most people, GitHub is now a product that breaks every day.

"81 incidents in the last 90 days," so there's been an incident on 90% of days in the last three months.

I have, though generally just when I know folks there and am getting a lot out of the hallway track.

VulnCon last year was great for that, and I had similar feelings with RustConf back when I was regularly going.

He's actually saying "Gramsci"

Yeah, it was already dying as its major corporate proponents realized it wasn't viable and relicensed away from it; but it still had a sheen of viability from the outside.

Now that sheen is gone and open core models are Very Dead.

Come work with me!

We now have an open position to join my team @oxide.computer.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I don't think so, though I could be wrong!

In honor of his election loss, let's all watch the Spanish Slap Chop ad

Ugh, *politically

Christianity is not a monolith, and the presence of such a hateful and political vocal subculture poisons the well.

It's really a shame that the conservative white evangelical branch of American Christianity has poisoned a lot of folks' view of religion in politics.

As Talarico shows, there's a whole world of Christians in the US whose faith prioritizes care for the vulnerable.

Yeah, I think *GitHub* probably thinks they're valuable, in that they've long promoted the social aspects of their platform. I do think there's value in a platform where you can @-mention ~any developer, but it's not enormous.

I wonder if GitHub realizes how much this intense decline in reliability is hurting consumer trust in them.

They might assume network effects or switching costs will save them, but IMO those are weaker moats than you might assume, especially when the core product no longer works consistently.

It feels like the judicial version of the executive branch violating the Administrative Procedure Act.

Fascinating maneuver which IMO seems right.

Basically, lower courts saying that because the Supreme Court improperly ruled (under the rules of the courts' process), the ruling is non-binding.

You love to see it

💯endorse completely, especially the (good) list of problems.

Nothing to see, just very powerful pattern matching. www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/paper...

I spent a year in Clarksburg, WV, which has a big statue of Stonewall Jackson downtown. Sure, he was born there, but a northern state commemorating a southern general sure is something

This *one felt

Oh man, I remember how exciting this done felt to me when it came out

Honestly, the dev experience with it is so far pretty superior to Zola, which is what I've used lately for public projects (personal site, Hipcheck site, OmniBOR site). Tailwind integration and the ability to make "real" components, plus better / easier debugging are both big wins.

I do not agree with your characterization of events, and don't feel like arguing with you about it today. If you want to argue about this, please do it in someone else's mentions.
