Years ago, internet told me "balls out" was a sailor metaphor for fully stocked cannon balls, but ChatGPT says that's folklore and it likely came from pilots referring to full throttle because the "balls" on their control sticks were fully "out"

Aaron is so good at getting to the heart of why we are devs, and it's why his content and courses stand out as something I always read and watch.
They say AI is the end for developers.
They say the job market is gone.
They say learning to code is pointless.
I don’t buy it.
I think we're just getting started.

Being a Discord Server admin of a popular non-gaming topic has gotten so bad in the last few years, with daily spammers and scammers getting through *even with the highest level of protection -> phone number verification* I'm thinking of moving any paid community off the platform

Google ruined Nest (not a secret) and they keep giving me new reasons to leave. After 4 years of bugging me to migrate my Nest acct to a Google "personal" one, I had to create a Gmail, add a cc, buy a plan, migrate devices, and then Google promptly locked me out saying it's a bot account. Awesome

Do you manage container image builds? I've wrapped up a major edit on my Silent Rebuilds tutorial and repo. Weeks of work! New blog and video content. #Docker #GitHub #GitHubActions www.bretfisher.com/silent-rebui...
Silent Rebuilds: Keeping Container CVE Counts Near-Zero
Starting with a slim/distroless container image is necessary today, but it isn't enough. You need daily automation to trigger rebuilds for dependencies and base image digest updates.
