By the way, I'm mostly posting on Fediverse now (handle in bio) - I'm still lurking here though.

Inspired by @gabe_guerra_ launching DC systems, I went ahead and registered helsystems.xyz. If you're interested in attending or speaking, fill out the form there. If there are enough crazy systems people around here, we'll have ourselves a meetup!

It is incredibly cool to see these meetups continue to pop up around the country/world.
I am psyched to support this effort, giving a talk on the basics of distributed consensus.

Two of the biggest source of incidents I’ve seen are:
1. Legacy code
2. Migrating away from legacy code
The conclusion is clear: you should only write non-legacy code

So, we lost the battle to define observability. You know it, I know it. Observability was supposed to *mean* something, and in the early days, it did.
"Observability" once meant the kind of exploratory, open ended investigation our systems increasingly demand.

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

Given the cost of blocking, asynchronous code reviews, I'm surprised more teams haven't experimented with eliminating them.
What bad things would happen if you just integrated changes? Are those bad things happening already? What else could you do to avoid those problems?

Fortunately you can already use x <= y to denote the logical implication x => y… :)

this is my plan for getting you all to have a bayesian awakening. you come to my twitter and i inform you that you are, in fact, a bayesian.
Millie Bobby Brown reveals to Glamour that she credits her feminist awakening to a visit to a psychic, who informed her that she was, in fact, a feminist.

I rarely explicitly accuse people of blood on their hands because of their tweets but I think wise readers know that anyone who has ever disagreed with me about anything is a murderer of orphans, nuns, and possibly (probably) 9/11 first responders.

Tiitisen listan julkaisu on hyvä alku, mutta ei riittävä. Sen jälkeen pitää julkaista lista myös niistä joiden pitäisi olla Tiitisen listalla, vaikka eivät ole.

Olisiko jollakulla linkkiä niihin Purran/käyttäjän "riikka" kirjoituksiin Scriptan vieraskirjassa? Jollakulla oli ne koottuna, mutta hukkasin linkin

In 2023, if your cave system does not have:
—crystals
—mushrooms (glowing)
—glittering serpent-gold
—military bunker of a lost civilization
—murals painted in maddening colors by inhuman hands
—the vast fossil of a god
—a computer integrated with the earth's soul
You are NGMI!

It wasn't until I'd *taught* algorithms a few times that I finally understood why sorting is in the CS curriculum. Unfortunately, most curricula don't explain this!
It is NOT because sorting is an important algorithm to learn to implement...

As a 41 year-old software developer do you know how many times I've had to manually implement QuickSort?
Zero.
Maybe we should test for more useful skills like taking a slow SQL query and optimizing it.
