I agree with the criticisms though, and wonder if we really need a new tool that blows our minds as much as Git did?

The cool thing for me about GitOps is all the problems it solves bringing k8s into regulated environments. It appeases the change management and inventory trolls. Iโve had pretty good experience combining with Helm (Iโm not cool enough for cdk8s yet).

I feel strange learning vocabulary from my 10 year old.
"Dad, where's my ombre cup?"
Me: "WTF is an hombre cup, and this whole thing sounds questionable"
Thank you this is really good. I never thought much about the effectiveness of women's groups in tech, so the perspective is appreciated.
I always believed my best path to being an ally is to champion anyone not being heard or considered in general spaces. Sounds like your article agrees?
My daughter and I having a little taco truck and sitting on the Skykomish river. The world can still be a good place
Being a parent sure changes your perspective on this doesn't it? I lost a few friends deployed to Iraq when I was younger. However, I had all the feelings this weekend and had to call my mom to rant about how people are going to lose their fucking kids.
The folks at @linuxfoundation.org , specifically LF Energy, helped me write an article on the TROLIE project!

Corporate welfare anyone?
Was listening to Cattle Decapitation while mowing the lawn today. Trippy moment when I realized the double kick parts were in synchronized tempo with the lawn mower blades.
I've worked on projects where we had 4 9s expectations, but the customer had a team of 3-5 people doing the infrastructure and monitoring, and we were given about three weeks in the project plan to work on availability. I really wish more people understood what these numbers cost
"Building software is a team sport" is the great truth. I was just on a flight and sat next to a recruiter. She's worried about AI taking her job. That may happen, but not for companies that are smart. Some companies that try that are going to FAFO.
Good form!
I love the term "slopsquatting". Some cyber security researcher nailed that one.
Also, agents have their uses, but just read a little, just a little about supply chain attacks before you let an LLM add dependencies to your code without vetting them. Come on.
This post is stupid enough to make me laugh. Thank you Jerry.
Oh. My. God. These guys really aren't listening to anybody who knows what they're doing.
Upcoming Seattle storms aside, I am working for the first time in 2025 on my back deck instead of my office with a ๐ฅ pit, some good music and some spring smells instead of the office, and I. Am. Here. For. It.
How tech work should be done if you want to stay sane
The tension between copyright and LLMs can never be resolved in a traditional matter, because the training process can't keep any correlation between the model's behaviors and the source data.
The only accurate source to site for a prompt response would be the entire training set.
Audio engineering really forced this lesson on me. You don't have to be able to recreate the math behind a compressor or EQ. However, if you don't understand at a high level what the tools are doing, your chance of success is pretty bad.
Broken PostgreSQL replication, which of course didn't get noticed until the poor PV filled up with sad, sad WAL files.
Honestly, it did have the fortunate effect of educating a lot of people, including me on said replication, and making a nice investment in observability on the subject.
I've been watching the Sopranos, only a few decades late. The problem is that these days, i feel Tony's chronic anxiety in my bones.
It will be the most social media ever socialed! Way better than IBM. You'll be glad to pay $10000 per-core for your socials, pays for itself as long as you never upgrade a server. Rights reserved to jack up annual maintenance fees without notice.
I can't count how many times I have forgotten and relearned that bad connections, usually cables or jacks, are the source of 95% of all audio problems
We released version 1.0.0 of a new Java Client SDK for exchanging ambient-adjusted line ratings with TROLIE servers. I'm pretty excited about it.

Well. This is gross
I really hope they don't get gutted. I've met a couple people from CISA at conferences who are really smart and passionate and are working their asses off to try to make a dent in some really scary problems
I just came into possession of a 30" gong made by a company called Dobani. Never heard of them, and can't really find anything online. Can anyone tell me anything about this gong? Sounds nice to me, but I'm a rock/metal drummer and can't say I would know better. #drums #percussion
