The Surprising Truth About Serverless: It's More Than Just Functions

First go with the much-hyped anthropic model of the moment ... kinda disappointing? "Add pi to this devcontainer" - adds a nested mount for its config over the top of an existing mount, breaks devcontainer, live patches it to sort of work, rubs its hands together in satisfaction ☠️

as far as coding agents go, pi is amazing. The malleability of the thing. I would _love_ to see a serious IDE built with the same "foundational primitives + easy extensibility" in mind

Whenever someone refers to "their clanker" on PR feedback etc. it warms my heart

@crawshaw.io of tailscale fame building a cloud because stacks of bespoke abstractions on stacks of bespoke abstractions kinda suck is .... legit interesting?! crawshaw.io/blog/buildin...

Confession: I've been using **light mode** in RustRover and I ... don't hate it. Time to retire?

@scottgerring.com and me chat a lot about code quality, code structure, and generally the 'craft' of software development. Which you could argue might be being lost a little bit... But once you've got that beautiful piece of software, how do you actually ship it somewhere? youtu.be/73u4boYBcGM

There's nothing like the smell of `docker system prune` in the morning

It reflects well on a society when folks can unironically write songs like “Rasputin”

Had a chuckle, but honestly for folk who haven’t already learnt how to Build Stuff Goodly, this is a bit terrifying - the obligation to use the tools to _go fast_, without ever building a the muscles to properly supervise them

honestly very funny to see the line "We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average" in a study paid for by anthropic inc

Clawdbot too powerful/terrifying for you? Introducing Geoff - a boring alternative - built _just for me_. Maybe all this AI vibe coding furor can usher back in the dream of PERSONAL computing - tools built by regular folk to scratch their own, particular itches.

It’s time for another blog on #systems engineering - this time about calling conventions - how do compilers emit machine code that let functions call each other, when the underlying CPU architecture has no concept of functions? Not sooo useful for building REST APIs, but nonetheless interesting :)

I switched a bunch of stuff I was running in the #homelab from k3s to plain old docker-compose, and dropped from 20% idle CPU usage to < 4%. CPU now spending about 80% of of its time in C7! I don't _need_ k8s for this stuff, and power is expensive, so ....

James Eastham and my latest video on software dev is up! We try to distill down when it makes sense and when not to microservice, hopefully without alienating too many folks. Have a listen and let us know what you think!

James Eastham@jameseastham.co.uk · 7mo ago

It's a great debate in modern software, do you need microservices? Or will a monolith be enough for what you need. In the latest video in our modern software engineering series @scottgerring.com and me discuss exactly this. youtu.be/zUhrBYH0zyw #softwareengineering #software #development

Yup

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Not sure anyone I know on here cares, but it brings me great sadness that Scott aren't producing tele boots anymore

The long quiet carrier of the legendary Garmont flame is done with boots, including free-heel options, just as the sport appears to rise again.
