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. I’ve had pretty good experience combining with Helm (I’m not cool enough for cdk8s yet).

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
