Quick reminder that people are still finding the fediverse, so keep coming back to you contact lists on the various sites you follow them to see their new handles.

This tweet is a lesson to all of you... just because someone with a fancy bio tweets it, does not make it true. If you're one of the people who got mad at David, you are part of the problem.
Educate yourself, don't trust clickbait titles, you're better than this, be better.
It was, in retrospect, inevitable

I weep for how easily baitable .NET devs are, and territorialistic.
Like... my dudes (and yes, it was all dudes) 2 clicks would have solved you anger, but no... must... get annoyed...
Rust is a fine language (its no C#, but what is), but Azure .NET Aspire will stay .NET.
Who do we petition at @Apple and @Android to get "@Tailscale debugging" into the developer options.
Asking for a friend... and me.

Aspire commands are the future of agentic software development. They've basically 10x'd my agents ability to investigate bugs.
Seeding data for a test is so easy. "Make flight XXX return Landed" instead of the agent understanding the API contract.
No need for skills.

65,000 attendees, four days, and a booth game that has to survive the moment a keynote ends.

I sat down with @samnewman to talk about his keynote for o11yday next month in London. We talked about taste, and how coding agents can acquire it. Along with the impact of software factories on engineering practices.
It should be a great talk.

On episode 93 of @o11ycast, Ken Rimple and Martin Thwaites (@MartinDotNet) join Mike Goldsmith (@mike_goldsmith) of @honeycombio for a deep dive into telemetry cost control and the OpenTelemetry Collector. They explore the tradeoffs between logs, metrics, and traces, along with new tools for intelligently filtering, routing, aggregating, and sampling observability data. Mike also explains how dynamic sampling can retain rare and meaningful traces without requiring teams to keep everything.

Chatting with @QuinnyPig the other day
"It's actually really hard to run up a big DynamoDB bill"
"Challenge accepted..."
Apparently if I re-architect our booth game to use Lambda to "save money on EKS", re:invent will cost us $25k in DynamoDB costs to run it.
If github went paid today, no more new free repos that you can share, github action minutes slashed to something mostly non-existent, would the ai-slop-prs stop? Would the countless ai-slop oss projects with no maintenance plan stop?
Would anthropic setup a git hosting platform?

Watch Nigel Farage openly say we should privatise the NHS and move to an insurance-based system instead.
He really couldn’t care less about you or your health.
This is an incredibly poor take, and doesn't admit the reality of the heavily subsidised inference world we live in.
$200/month is fine, but that isn't the final cost, and at an enterprise level that isn’t the cost at all (anthropic removed fixed pricing for teams).
Why the fuck would I spent $4000-5000 on a rig to write essays, mails, excel with local models???
You people are out of your minds
