We may have accidentally built an open alternative to Claude Code. Fully open source, supports any model, and MCP native. Anyone interested in that?

I revisit this incredible Reddit post every month or so. Below are my 8 favorite answers of boring and unique businesses that print money:

Cloud pricing applied to literally anything else, i.e. the coffee shop: coffee is $5, but if you stay it’s free and we charge $0.06/minute unless you’re using internet then it’s $0.09/minute. First timers get 30 minutes free. Talking to others in the cafe is free. Voice calls outside the cafe are $1/minute unless its to our other cafe locations then its free for the first 12 minutes then $0.50/minute thereafter. If you have any problems write your issue on a napkin and throw it straight into the trash. If you pay for a premium support plan (contact us) then please step into the personalized Lamborghini to talk to your account manager. Enjoy your time at Cloud Cafe, please complete the survey on your way out.

Almost like I wasn't just being obnoxious when I started freaking out about Azure's repeated cross-tenant security issues ~14 months ago. Since then Azure has said absolutely nothing to me about anything. They don't owe me anything, but their customers? They owe them a lot.

I did a bit of research on Rust ORMs, out of pure interest. I've looked at 3 of them - Diesel, SeaORM and RBatis. A small thread of what I've discovered:

Everyone else: backwards compat is hard @_rsc: there are 17 edge cases. I invented new technology for 4 of them. We can do 10 more with just hard work and careful automation. I tricked Rob Pike into fixing the final 3. Go's progress in the last 2 years has been jaw dropping.

One day, a new director joined my org, and said they intend to use the 4 DORA metrics to benchmark the productivity of all their teams. I told him. "I am not onboard. Here is the 'productivity' of my team. I'd suggest you start with this, first. This is the stuff that matters."

i'm blown away by how creative websites from the 90s were, despite the constraints. with slower internet speeds, websites needed to be more efficient, prioritizing function over style. but yet, they still managed to be useful and have flair. i've curated 15 of my favorites👇🧵

I am once again reminded that @googlecloud IAM is an absolute delight compared with @awscloud IAM. And "delight" is not a term often used to describe IAM.

I have been throwing shade on @awscloud MSK (managed kafka) without providing much context. So here's a 🧵of everything our team has had to deal with, especially in the last 3 days:

Protect Perry the Platypus at all costs

I think I first started talking about the "Frontend Ceiling" 4 years ago and its still not well understood — there are great exceptions, but for the vast majority of bootcampers entering the software industry today as Frontend/JS devs and indirectly React/Serverless devs, you are being quietly graded into a lower tier of software engineer that will NEVER be on a track to VP Eng or CTO. Justified or not (I can argue both sides) this phenomenon is real and if you do not actively test your comfort zones you may find yourself hitting invisible career ceilings. Acknowledgements (which I'm sure some pple will omit reading in their eagerness to contradict me): - you can have a plenty successful career without being VPE/CTO - many situations where a person from frontend/JS background can get there, but either the business doesnt have that deep of backend needs or the person effectively needs to dualclass because (proving the point) frontend isnt sufficient for a senior eng leadership role in the way that backend is.

DevOps vs. SRE vs. Platform Engineering. Do you know the differences? In this video, we will talk about: - Who invented DevOps? - What are some of the best SRE practices and tools? - What is Platform Engineering? Watch and subscribe here: youtu.be/an8SrFtJBdM

More .NET shops need to learn about Nomad. Sure there’s tools for the newest of projects, but too many people don’t know the power of a Windows Server task driver enabled runtime fleet for your legacy cloud migration.
