About lox

I’m a web geek who is passionate about building scalable web applications, open-source software, whisky and finding the perfect coffee. I’ve been writing code for about as long as web browsers have been around and I’ve loved every minute of it. Previously CEO at buildkite.com and CTO at 99designs.com, living in Melbourne, Australia with my wife and children.

    I don’t disagree that pop culture has distilled spectrum down into a magnitude, but that isn’t how the DSM describes it or how professionals diagnose it (or in my experience how th…

    No, you resigned. It’s completely possible to have adult conversations and to part ways without being terminated for cause (which “fired” is a euphemism for).

    It’s more than that, doing it well is still beyond sophisticated automation. Many variables that need do be constantly adjusted for. Humans are still much better at it than machine…

    Is this not essentially what docker did with cgroups? It’s incredibly tricky securing containers, I’m not at all confident process only sandboxes would be adequate.

    They do, the parent is either on an older tesla software platform or they haven't looked at settings > service and have ignored the alerts when they occur.

    I'm running a Model 3 with 2023.44.39 on it. In the Service menu there are a variety of exactly the things you mentioned. In the top right corner there is "Tire Service Mileage" wi…

    This stack is run by a single customer on trusted code isolated in their own AWS env. (I wrote it originally 6-7 years back) There are radically better isolation strategies now. Fi…

    My take is different. I think DevOps was wildly successful, most of our infrastructure is now software that can be managed by Software Engineers. The goal posts have shifted, we no…

    In 2005 your infrastructure provisioning wasn’t automated. The complexity has increased, but so has what we get. Being able to provision new hardware stacks like software is amazin…
