Chicago diocese: Oh, hey, you're back sooner than we expected… Pope Leo: Priests schism’d. Chicago diocese: … what? Pope Leo: *grabbing a baseball bat and heading back out* Priests schism’d.

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

These images posted by the Claude Code team are so amusing to me not because the perfect architecture is just Claude talking to Claude talking to Claude but instead that you have layers of Claudes whose job is to fix the errors and hallucinations of the other Claudes.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Really excited to get OTLP and PromQL support into CloudWatch Metrics. This is just the latest step in a long journey, but an important one that opens a lot of doors to the future. aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/int...

If you run Kubernetes or microservices workloads on AWS, your metrics likely carry dozens of labels: namespace, pod, container, node, deployment, replica set, and custom business dimensions. To get a ...

Is profiling the fourth pillar of observability?? SIGH. charity.wtf/2025/10/30/t...

How many pillars of observability can you fit on the head of a pin?

My day started off with an innocent question, from an innocent soul. “Hey Charity, is profiling a pillar?” I hadn’t even had my coffee yet. “Someone was just telling me that profiling is the fourth…

Talk to me if you have an interesting profiling use case. I'm doing some explorations :)

Code-level Telemetry Instrumentation: from "Oh Hell No" to "Worth It": https://whitneylee.com/2025/10/30/codelevel-telemetry-instrumentation-from-oh.html

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more: adventofcode.com/2025/about#f... adventofcode.com/2025/about#f...

Some love from my wife for #AdventOfCode and @was.tl (cc @aneurysm9.com): elly.town/d/blog/2025-...

Reminder: code review is not "to catch mistakes", it is a tool for understanding to limit bus/lottery factor first and foremost. When code is written (if you're lucky) by one human, having the second human abdicate their judgment to the machine is actively harmful to your team's code understanding.

Luis@lbruno.org · last yr.

also, the one i'm hearing which is most insidious is the “AI code/peer review” use-case: that's how you deskill people but we'll be told that humans are still in the loop! and if they ever were skilled they are actively becoming deskilled by the “AI review” should be obvious, but zero talk re: it

Day 25 Merry Christmas! #AdventofCode

If you don't want the #AdventOfCode 2024 calendar spoiled you might want to stay away from the shop; there may or may not be bonus merch cottonbureau.com/people/adven...

#AdventOfCode 2024 is almost done! But don't worry - the puzzles aren't going anywhere. In fact, there are hundreds of puzzles from past AoC events that are still available! adventofcode.com/events

Earlier this week @hazelweakly.me wrote about what she calls "observability 3.0". I argue our core challenge is not surfacing insights to eng-adjacent teams, but the reverse -- helping engineering teams understand and explain their work in the language of the business. charity.wtf/2024/12/20/o...

On Versioning Observabilities (1.0, 2.0, 3.0…10.0?!?)

Hazel Weakly, you little troublemaker.  As I whined to Hazel over text, after she sweetly sent me a preview draft of her post: “PLEASE don’t post this! I feel like I spend all my time trying to hel…

If your experience with OpenTelemetry looks like a more complicated, worse version of adding an APM vendor I don’t fault you for being skeptical about the project Let me make the case why that will improve and take us far beyond what vendors could ever offer jeremymorrell.dev/blog/opentel...

Day 12 Operation De-Fence #AdventofCode

oh man the character.ai lawsuit is SO much worse than the headlines made it out to be:

We're seven days into #AdventOfCode 2024! Have you learned anything new about your programming language / tool / editor of choice?

True story.

Two exciting announcements from #AWS #EKS team! - EKS Auto Mode ( ++Karpenter++ ) - EKS Hybrid Nodes ( connect on-prem/edge ) Give it a shot!

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟 The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

If you want to get into the Christmas^W puzzle-ing spirit, Veloxx is back to DJ our #AdventOfCode unlock party - starting 1.5 hours before the first puzzle unlocks! www.twitch.tv/veloxxmusic
