#Azure #Metrics are sometimes wrong for OpenAI.... We don't have enough quota to produce this peek, neither it shows up in the cost analysis. How can someone make reliable Dashboard if the underlying metrics are so buggy???

had enough meetings today... now it's pizza time 😋

Oh no 🫣 So i need to find an alternative for nginx ingress controller with modsecurity as waf. www.kubernetes.dev/blog/2025/11...

Rust 1.91.1 is released 😀 blog.rust-lang.org/2025/11/10/R...

Can you solve all problems by adding more CPU? Well, this is a real world example that shows how much optimized SQL and Indexes are affecting your DB. Going from 4 vCores to 8 may help a bit but optimizing your SQL and Indexes dramatically lowers the costs of your database in the cloud :-)

Spend 2h understanding custom json log ingestion into an #azure log analytics workspace. Major pain point: everyting (LAW, DCR, DCE) must be in the same region🙄. After that you only need to wait 15 minutes for the role assignment and another 10 min for the first ingestion. Crazy stuff...

As I said in a post some days ago. Only trust your own (crappy) benchmarks. www.theregister.com/2025/11/07/m...

Managing cloud infrastructure with #Terraform is a pain. #Terragrunt eases the pain a bit while adding additional complexity. But the real pain is that all other "alternitives" are worse than terraform 🙄

no time for coding... making pizza 😋

5 years ago I started to learn (at least a bit) about quantum physics and quantum computing. I thought it would be the next big thing that affect my life as software engineer. But instead we got Machine Learning and hallucinating LLMs everywhere 😬.

Scribbled a logo for Twirl. Will be drawn in it's own render language. The pinwheel needs some matrix multiplication and some nice colors for the animation. Hard work for a backend developer 😉

Managed to convert (compile) #markdown to Twirl's internal render language and displayed a first (rough) presentation page as example. Rendering is done with #raylib and #rustlang. There is a ton of work ahead to build all the features and clean everything up 😀

redis-rs 1.0.0 release candidate 😀 github.com/redis-rs/red...

Roughly implemented the internal render language for my presentation tool Twirl. This small example renders a text that slowly fades in and a line with a different color using #raylib and #rustlang. The next hard part will be the rendering of the markdown input.

Generic #rustlang #rest api for a mongo database as result of a live coding session. Maybe needs some polish 😉... time was limited and I manged to create this from scratch. Maybe I add features for a second db and of course the missing DELETE and PUT... github.com/fratschi/rs-...

Perparing for a #rustlang intro for senior sw engineers. Will be a live coding event and the topic is to create generic crud rest endpoints for mongodb. All you have to provide is the datatype as struct and a simple main. Thanks to #axum generics and #tokio it feels like low-code 😊.

Had to connect to an #oracle db using #golang and go-ora. The only error msg I got was 'EOF' and had no idea how to fix it. Then I realized that I imported "github.com/sijms/go-ora" instead of "github.com/sijms/go-ora/v2" 🙄

Working on a tender offer for a new planning software of a car manufactor. I think it's time to implement this in #rustlang.

There is only one way to write unit tests: Write your test using a mock without any framework and don't write any integration tests at all. If your test is not idempontent and can run "everywhere" you simply doing it wrong. Don't waste your time on fancy stuff that does not solve your problem!

Endlessly searched for a crate to parse #markdown in #rustlang 🙄 Finally found it... github.com/pulldown-cma...

"defer" in rust... just for fun 😅

First step with GraphQL "With GraphQL, you model your business domain as a graph" Hell! No! graphql.org/learn/thinki...

Can't wait to use it... kyaml will probably solve my headaches with yaml ☺️ www.kyaml.com

In my opinion the best way to write tests... Unfortunatly it is not possible to use anonymous structs in #rustlang. So #golang has still some advantages 😉 go.dev/wiki/TableDr...

A tiny GPT from scratch, completly written in #rustlang. Probably one of the best attempts to explain how a transformer internally works. github.com/tekaratzas/R...

Genkit looks promising... Hoping for a pleasant unboxing experience 😀 genkit.dev?lang=go

I really like #rustlang. Yesterday i tried anki but i failed. github.com/ankitects/anki My glibc 2.35 is too old (needs 2.3.6) and I tried to compile an older release that still used 2.35. Also failed but with compile errors. Thats the best way to scare off people from using your software.

just realized that i can just write cargo b for building a rust project 😅

Just learned how managed identities in #azure are working and how the #jwt token is injected into your pod by #AKS. If you are using distroless containers you need a volume mount to /var/run/secrets/azure/tokens. Would be nice if this was mentioned somewhere in the azure docs 🙄

Wrote my first program on a quantum computer... The output was: Helol Wlor!d

Evaluating jmespath for json to json transformation in #golang. jmespath.org Looks good because it seems to support enough transformation capabilities and can be extended with own functions. The transformation is configuration-data and can't be hard coded.

Testing #grpc with #rustlang. The examples in the tonic github repo are way to complex for the beginning. build.rs is overwhelming if you simply try to get "something" running. Found this much more helpful and I created a client and server easily 🙂 dev.to/anshulgoyal1...

#Microsoft wants to reactivate the mothballed Three Mile Island reactor for powering its data center. What could possibly go wrong?

Software development is like building stuff with Lego. The only difference is that there is an almost infinite number of bricks available.

Just loughing hard about the "Norway Problem" 🤣 hitchdev.com/strictyaml/w... Just use a proper programming language like #rustlang or #golang!

Really cool day... Solved a major technical issue that saves a lot of time and money and no one cares about. Then I got punched in the face because of a trivial organizational problem... Good that I have a day off tomorrow...

Azure thinks user_impersonation is a good thing to make rest calls secure. But no one want's to play the human robot, wake up every night at 3pm and triggers the api. So each company creates technical users, spreads passwords and compromise the security. Good Job #azure.

New Version of Github Copilot in Vs Code is horrible. Wrong suggestions, unbelivable bad timing and halluzinations like suggesting zerolog instead of the already used slog. This is so bad, I think I disable it completly.

ChatGPT-5: Another huge pond that covers almost the entire surface of the earth and has an average depth of only a few centimeters.

Never trust highly optimized benchmarks that do not exactly reflect your use case. Only trust what you get with your own unoptimized crappy code 😉

Trying to parse a .toml file in Rust. Parsing unknown sections that have a . in the name is tricky. The sections are one layer deeper and the nested match statements getting complex. Need a pause and try it again tomorrow 😉

Saved my customer from using #Kafka yesterday. In 99% of all use cases: #YAGNI We will use a simple and dead cheap Azure Storage Queue instead 😉

yeah... thats cool... full power if you know what you doing 😉 blog.rust-lang.org/2025/07/03/s...

Golang is just great. Build a configurable forward proxy and an integrated rate limiter today plus dockerfile to replace a costly cloud based Api-Management. This will save my customer more than 10k per year. The proxy has only a yaml parsing as external create, the rest ist just std goland 1.24 😊

Tried zed as alternative for vscode for rust. I'm quite disappointed and will stick with vscode. Why? The error messages are mostly useless and at the wrong place. Maybe I did something wrong but this is not an alternative...

Coded my first Auth. Layer for an axum router. Tricky stuff to return a future that does the real check...

I have 2 strict rules: Never work for a) crypto start ups b) start ups that have a table soccer in their office
