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 wi…

Docopt! http://docopt.org/ Make use of the usage string be the specification! A criminally underused library.

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…

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 …

Because that would be expensive.

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 …

I clicked hoping it was Warcraft 3 beta. Blizzard please give us Warcraft 4.

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 t…

I did it as a learning exercise while on vacation. Cracking open the Lisp 1.5 manual and using that as my guide was really educational. http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects…

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/d…

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 MacBo…

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/vi…

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, eat…

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 …

Cortex. Introduced me to GTD methodology, and omnifocus. Helped me get my email under control. Made me think about investing in what I'm good at, not trying to improve at what I'm …

The browser console

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 …

Just like the SAT.
