Would love to hear more, since I largely used SLOs on backend services (which in turn called other services that also had their own SLOs). As far as timespans for the error budget …

I certainly agree in spirit that the alerts are important, and should be actionable. But I wouldn't start at just "looking at the service" and then trying to define the first set o…

Interesting! Reading the headline before the article, my brain immediately thought of "jitter". I wonder if you could extend the `In-process synchronization` example so that when `…

Northguard doesn’t look like it’s been open sourced? I’d be curious to know how it compares to Apache Pulsar [0]. I feel like I see some similarities reading the LI blog post. 0: h…

That is tough, I’m sorry for your loss.

Even loose coupling is still coupling. For the things that have to be coupled having the code organized in the same place, being able to easily read the source for “the other side”…

In my experience microservices are easier to manage and understand when organized in a monorepo.

Monorepo is one of few things I’ve drunk the koolaid on. I joke that the only thing worse than being in a monorepo, is not being in one.

> perfect ASMR for nerds. Haha yeah I like to have this on it the background when I’m doing other things.

Bartosz links to it in the Further Reading section, but wanted to highlight the Wristwatch Revival YouTube channel[0] as well. Really great content and very understandable after re…

> LSP optimizes writing the code. I would actually phrase that as “LSP optimizes for understanding” (which is of course important for writing code). For example, when doing code re…

Makes me think of this project: https://www.vesta.earth/

Trying to see from specs and such if the mesh supports ethernet backhaul vs wifi radio like the google wifi does.

There is a great book called The Emerald Mile that touches on some of this history, and other Grand Canyon history, using the story of the fastest traversal as the narrative device…

You can shift click a range, or command click a disjoint set, of tabs in chrome. And then with one mouse drag move all of them to an existing window or create a new one. It's a fea…

You can still have the question. But my answer is a random 32 character string of alphanumerics :)

A linked list of levels reminds me of Binomial Heaps

Reading that man page sounds like the way to go about it is start with `tame(0)` as early as possible in the program and see how it fails. then iterate pushing `tame()` down and ex…

I don't know :) titles are inherently political. They don't exist in some platonic vacuum. So some part of the progression is about broadcasting the status change to the larger org…
