The ai has terrible taste. Juniors also have terrible taste. Seniors can guide both, but the ai is faster, cheaper, probably better than most. I’m worried that in a few years we will struggle to find new seniors. Who is going to put in th

Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. The only thing I know is, none of the arrogant fuckers on hacker news know anything about it. But that won’t stop them from posting.

I’m a big kusto user, and it’s wonderful to have pipes in a query language. If you haven’t tried it, it’s great!

I think the big problem is it tries to do too much. We used to have many tools as SRE but now teams are really limited. We handed the keys to the engineers which I think is overall a good intention. But we didn’t set them up with sensible d

For god sakes, SREs need to give up on K8. It was a bad idea, just move on. The answer is not, “let an ai figure it out.” That is legitimately scary.

I look forward to the blog post where they get off K8, in just 18 months.

Unions are about digging in and fixing terms between management and labor. Our industry is different than any other. The factory floor we work on is in our editors. The man on the assembly line building cars is a part of the machine. We are

The api hurts the Twitter. My company extracted lots of value from it, which Twitter didn’t monetize at all. But they had huge infrastructure and engineering effort to support the api. They never should have built it.

Does anyone remember when HaProxy’s tag line was” Security - Not even one vulnerability in 10 years”. I loved that product. Before they took all that money. Before they added all the crap people want but don’t need. It’s hard to do the fund

Forgot to mention that disk performance on docker on the Mac is a big deal for building software. This article shows overhead for a disk heavy workload: https://vivait.co.uk/labs/docker-for-mac-performance-using-n... H

Virtualization has pretty high overhead. But on the Mac you have to pay the virtualization overhead to run Linux in a VM, then compound the docker overhead on top of that. On MacBook Pro this is problematic because it eats battery and contr

When possible I want to run my apps on OSX. It’s not always possible, but usually works. The scripting environment managers have made big improvements in the past few years. Nvm/virtualenv/rvm give me 90% of the docker value prop

If this slows or stops the use of Docker in local development I’m all for it. Docker for development is a plague on this earth. It burns battery, slows builds, makes fan noise, eats huge amounts of bandwidth/HDD space, makes debugging

I also wrote a preemptive threaded operating system for AVR atmega 128. At the start we had threads, pipes between threads, serial io, interrupts. After we finished the project, I ported the system to standard UNIX system calls. Now I can t

I think other people do this as well. As I recall, windows encodes r/w/execute memory permission into a mask at the top of the pointer so that they avoid a table look up when they take a fault.

For normal user behavior you will rarely encounter a problem. But build systems tend to update/create files very quickly. If there was a workload which would break ReadDirectoryChanges, it would be this one. Reading the code for Realiz

I always get anxiety when I read about these tools. In Windows, the kernel drops file update notifications all the time. There is a fixed sized buffer for them and overflows do happen. I've not read the Linux code for them, but I think

Why not just turn off http2 support in config until stable has good support?

This works because they have teams dedicated to reproducing the work everyone else gets from their ecosystem's community. For us non-googlers, would you trade away the benefits pip,gem,npm for single source of truth?

And all the slack users breathed a sigh of relief. Their most beloved tool wasn't destroyed by an accident prone behemoth.
