So excited to be speaking at Platform Engineering Day in Amsterdam 🚀 The work that I'm doing is the culmination of my work and everything I've learned as Cloud Native consultant, DevRel and Platform Engineer for the past decade. And I cannot wait to share it with all of you ✨ sched.co/2DY5r

"They run experiments and describe their findings in narrowly focused documents. They do not outline sinister plans for human exploitation and regulatory evasion in writing." Clearly, @caseynewton.bsky.social hasn't read a lot of enterprise code.

Science evolves, but consensus matters. Don’t confuse openness to revision with carte blanche for misinformation. Settled science exists - and it matters for policy and public trust. Read the full article here: www.livescience.com/... 10/10

😁 I love seeing 3 of my dear friends giving the keynotes at @kcduk.bsky.social day 2! 💙 Great work @lianmakesthings.bsky.social @mccune.org.uk @wiggitywhitney.bsky.social 🎉

Day 2 of @kcduk.bsky.social and @lianmakesthings.bsky.social is explaining how platform engineering replaced the DevOps walk of confusion with a canyon of confusion.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

The administration is not powerful enough to crack down on all opposition to fascism. In all likelihood, this is chiefly a performative measure intended to intimidate people. It will only be possible to impose fascist control on this society as a whole if people stop resisting. Keep fighting. 🏴

Their bad-faith game of denial is destroying our ability to respond to the collapse of civil society. They behave constantly in ways that actively destabilize our institutions and endanger our peace, and then, when the worst happens, affect mock outrage anyone would see their transparent motive.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Feel like this security concept wasn’t quite thought through

6 days left for your Rejekts proposal... just one day of programming this year, so competition for spots will be tighter than usual!

Which kind of former coder are you: baking bread, too many synthesizers, or woodworking?

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

There’s no question that the Catholic Church has deep flaws. But at a time when we need allies to fight AI, its moral framing of the issue, grounded in real-world problems instead of sci-fi fantasies, could be useful in building a larger coalition against AI. www.disconnect.blog/p/will-pope-...

Later this month, @techwontsave.us turns five years old. It’s hard to believe I’ve been making the show for this long! Over that time I’ve interviewed hundreds of guests to spread critical perspectives on tech far and wide — and I know it’s had an impact.

We're getting close! Only 12 more days until Kuberoke! Check out this video to hear why our Chief Karaoke Officer @lianmakesthings.dev started Kuberoke and what song she is planning to sing!

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
