Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.

My computer just woke me up to tell me it's hungry. I'm not kidding 😂 During a long-running task, it noticed the battery was draining, set the volume to 100% using Computer Use, then opened Google Translate and hit "Listen" so I could hear it asking. Pardon my French, but what the fuck? 🤯

Required reading. Seeing the way DevRel has twisted into this grotesque form of marketing and conference-led-sales is really sad. I would argue that DevRel, maybe now more than ever, is incredibly important. We (developers) are an especially capricious bunch: we must be shown the way.

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

The Cloud Native & Kubernetes Edinburgh meetup is tonight! Rory McCune will be talking about "What LLMs Do, and Don't, Know About Securing Kubernetes" and (because Nick isn't here to stop me) I'll be talking about "Mythos, Athena and the Vulnpocalypse". In Codebase from 6pm.
