@imdanielholt.bsky.social Good luck today!! Sad we're missing it

Charity Majors is back with “Meh-trics” Reloaded! 📊 Honeycomb is banking on metrics done right, balancing infrastructure metrics with rich, contextual event data for faster debugging and AI-ready observability. Read more 👉 buff.ly/T6VsQJG #honeycomb #observability #HoneycombIntelligence #AI

Ikoria is still one of my favorite Magic sets and that explains a lot I think 😂.

ICYMI: it's possible in @kubernetes.io 1.33+ to update pod resource limits in-place without recreating the pod! kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/c... This *dramatically* lowers the amount of effort it takes to do load testing and capacity planning. You can just take away resources until breakage occurs.

Got our tickets to Richmond DLC. ❤️

Got second at the sealed tournament today for Lorcana. Another tournament tomorrow to end the release week.

Driving home from Milwaukee DLC this morning on 3 hours of sleep 😪. Went 4-3 (not 5-3 that I told @imdanielholt.bsky.social sorry 😂 and it was great to meet you!) at the main tournament with dogs 🧡 💚. Didn't make day 2 but I did better than I expected and didn't get my last loss til the end.

Went 4-3 yesterday, but was a pretty good run with the dogs.

Already seen so many pro players I am giddy.

Got offered a full set of duals from Damaged but playable to Moderate played. Having a hard time deciding if I want to pull that trigger or not.

String => Sum Type Your logs are most definitely a finite set of types that they boil down to. They're now an attribute on the span.

Good public incident write-up from UptimeLabs. Quick notes: * A patch-level dependency update unexpectedly changed behavior. * Failure mode: saturation * The role of health checks (a tool to improve availability!) in enabling this incident. uptimelabs.io/when-fast-fl...

Hit up over 10 local game stores while in Colorado so far in 2 days and it's an absolute joy to just go to each of these.

Hear me out. This but with LLMs

Worth a read!

I'm back on my bullshit of wondering if I can convince and gather a bunch of you to join me here for a conference across spectrums of interest.

Probably a lukewarm take, but I think many of us in the space around systems, especially those socio-technical systems and observability have quite a good outlook with how much "less than great" things look to be coming our way.

New post up, with a bunch of thoughts on what drives me personally, and my own 40-year career (h/t @lethain.com). I have a pretty unusual life story. But one of the reasons I love the tech industry so much is how common unusual stories like mine have historically been. charity.wtf/2025/07/09/t...

Best friend got bit by two mosquitoes last night and the allergic reaction is real strong still. 😭

Draft night with friends tonight

Out at the distillery a few hours away today. Beautiful outside at the ridge.

Adoption anniversary day for this dude

I'm off for the next month and have no clue what I should be doing which is exactly why I'm taking the time off.

Absolute blast of a night

This is a fantastic read, I didn’t know _any_ of this existed.

Upgrading the IPA cube tonight with some foils I got while at a LGS travelling

I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back. My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs. Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."

Dates are just not lining up this year for me and speaking 😔. Hitting each time I'm out of the country or on vacation.

My husband won 2 Lorcana set champs this weekend so I'm not going to stop hearing about it for at least another week.

Careless People is such a treat to read. @charity.wtf turned me onto it and I can't put it down.

Quick market trip

Got second at a set championship yesterday for Lorcana. Felt pretty good to get near the top again.

We're hiring for a US remote role on our Observability team. Jack Henry provides financial services to small banks and credit unions to help them succeed. We're big Honeycomb users as you'll get to work closely with our developers providing pipelines. careers.jackhenry.com/job/united-s...

Louder for those who were talking about their infra platform team 😡

Cleanse thy timeline with the smelliest of beast

I gave a talk recently about how source available is thriving and open source is dying. This is an example of one of the categories of problems I pointed out. Permissive licenses are *by convention* also a collaborative culture, but they are not *necessarily* so. The difference is crucial

@lambdaconf.bsky.social Would you please remove the comment on the website about lc I made back in 2014?

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

🚀 Big news! Honeycomb has acquired Grit, a powerful codebase analysis engine, to supercharge our mission of helping engineering teams answer the most fundamental observability question: “Why isn’t my software doing what I expect?” Read more in this blog post from our CEO: buff.ly/zRMJwFS

After nearly 3 years, I'm saying goodbye to Spot AI. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one. After a short break from The Modern Leader, I’m back with a reflection on burnout, quitting, and what it means to rebuild. Thanks for sticking around. modernleader.is/p/quitting

Kubernetes The Hard Way has been updated. I've also resolved most of the open issues and pull requests as I set the stage to add support for both ARM64 and AMD64, making the project compatible with both CPU architectures while continuing to be cloud provider agnostic. github.com/kelseyhighto...

An excellent post about this. tante.cc/2025/03/28/v...

I stumbled across this essay as I was falling asleep last night, and left myself multiple emphatic reminders to remember to circle back to it today. "The joy we're about to lose...we'll become overseers rather than creators, managers rather than builders." annievella.com/posts/the-so...

If you run Kubernetes and haven’t yet stopped everything else you’re doing and paid attention, now is the time.
