Hey @AskParamount why can I not watch Milan v. Torino? I get a non-descriptive error on my TV and I get a VPN message on my computer. I do not use VPN. I am missing the opening game and I am very bummed.

Remember the telephone? Remember missing a call? Remember thinking, "if it's important they'll call back." Remember walking out of the house to an uninterrupted hours of fun, docs, accomplishment? Maybe phones these days aren't smart enough.

Is X for xit-ing? Certainly seems X no longer marks the spot? At what value of X does X become valuable again? Okay, enough punning today. Cheers.

Why aren’t we talking about tools that improve “ilities” by taking action? Many report flaws: PMD, Rust’s Clippy & Checkov, but very few are as ruthless as Python’s Black. open.substack.com/pub/behemp…

Why is my dev friend moaning about more security training? What is his company trying to fix?! Let's stop fixing the humans and imagine an new class of tools to be more humane. behemphi.substack.com/p/why-…

I grow weary of "full stack developer." It's a myth and does the humans carrying such titles a great dis-service. Can we change the conversation to full stack _teams_ and govern that with Dunbar's numbers?

If you never experience the Opscode/Chef community all I can say is: "This is the opportunity of a life time if you have the interest and expertise!"

I've been trying to parse what `%s/twitter/x/g` actually means. I've learned it means my notifications don't seem to work well any more. Do I need to pay for those if I want to be x-ing?

When I first learned of Chef and DevOps @adamhjk (thx sir) helped me realized the real problem I was reasoning about was orchestration. Why aren't we asking, "Do we need this application to be this hard to orchestrate?" Why aren't we working to reduce complexity debt?

I grow tired of the question, "What is Platform Eng?" Platform Eng is nothing more than the next era of DevOps: * CI * Config Mgmt * Cloud * CD * Containers * Platform Eng Why? Orchestration is hard. K8s is a hard. Platform simplifies orchestration. Now move along PLEASE.

If you are in marketing, you could summarize: "Platform eng is the X in our secret sauce."

What if security was an Objective and ... * finding issues was a KR? * remedying issues was a KR? * measuring prevention of security events was a KR? * boredom of the Blue team was a KR? Today it seems to me that buying tools and making lists are the object. Too tactical.
