As most of the COVID -safe/-aware community can tell you, try wearing a mask everywhere & declining indoor eating invitations and then see how many friends you have left.

This is really profound. Communities have to become self-regulating healthy groups, and in a technical context where healthy communities aren't encouraged, you really need to be a counter-culture force to do this. People do it, but it would be a lot easier if we valued it a lot more

congratulations Ed, you successfully nerdsniped me into trying to benchmark this question! how well does Claude actually do on various languages? vivsha.ws/blog/stress-... (benchmark code & raw results on GitHub: github.com/vivshaw/llml...)

Security Compliance Enforcement (SCE) for Windows now supports the latest versions of the pwshlib dependency, including a fix for DSC reporting issues! 💾 Download from the Forge: forge.puppet.com/modules/pupp... 📖 Latest release notes: help.puppet.com/sce/current/... #Puppet #DevOps #Windows #DSC

thinking about how many more people are using the CLI, are using tmux, are interested in API access to services, are building their own little tools and dashboards and integrations. kind of a failure on the part of programming that it took AI to make this stuff accessible to people.

This is a great thread on changes we are seeing in people suddenly wanting to do more challenging and technical work who previously have not. I see this everywhere in my field and social circles. I do it myself. I'm trying things I never would have tried before, because I *think* I can now.

I went through the State of #DevOps report and I have... thoughts. I still need to crystallize some of my opinions on what I saw in this report, but I was interested in the heavy correlation between "mature DevOps" and "AI successful". I'm not surprised. (1/x) www.perforce.com/resources/st...

Every Canada hockey game seems to have the anxiety level set to maximum. This CAN-USA women's hockey game is just one chance after another! #Olympics

I’ve been working toward this for years, and it finally happened. Canada now has a parliamentary petition to require secure coding in federal software. If you care about cybersecurity, public safety, and better government tech, please sign: 👉 https://twp.ai/9Pa6Wa 1/2

I'D JUST LIKE TO INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT. WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AS LINUX IS IN FACT GNU/LINUX, OR AS I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN TO CALLING IT, GNU PLUS LINUX. LINUX IS NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM UNTO ITSELF, BUT RATHER ANOTHER FREE COMPONENT OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING GNU SYSTEM

New CVE-2026-0969 in MDX Remote popped up. I hadn't realized it was an issue, npm audit and dependency-bot hadn't reported anything, but Vercel suddenly stopped letting me deploy last night. Easy enough fix to update to 6.0.0! discuss.hashicorp.com/t/hcsec-2026...

#Puppet Enterprise Advanced has new #MCP tools available with the latest releases, but how do you get them to work with your IDE? In my latest video, I share learning how to use VS Code with #Copilot to generate a new Puppet module (and some failures along the way). www.youtube.com/watch?v=F25N...

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

My husband and I have been really into binging reality television lately. One thing we've noticed is that all of the random production assistants wear medical masks when interacting with the cast. There is a reason for that. Don't let the media convince you that it's extreme to protect your health.

This is inevitably coming to pretty much any channel where age verification is going to be required for certain content. This won't be a big hit to Discord communities that keep things accessible to any age audience, but I can imagine this is going to cause a stir...

Canada is one step closer to mandatory secure coding in government software. Petition e-7115 is live! If you can sign, please do it today: 👉 https://twp.ai/9PZlS4 This is how we make real change. 🙏

So what new #puppet module releases came out in January? Check out the details on the 4 new releases that are out: dev.to/puppet/puppe...

YOU CANNOT GRIND THE BONES OF YOUR ENEMIES INTO DUST TOMORROW IF YOU DO NOT DO YOUR STRETCHES.

I would actually be really interested in seeing the output of the reports of that "impact-evidence". The fact it looks at bugs, and also AI usage vs human-written code, could yield some interesting data on whether AI code generation provides the results needed. And have a good scale of data inputs.

1Password not mincing words here: "If you are experimenting with OpenClaw, do not do it on a company device. Full stop." "If you have already run OpenClaw on a work device, treat it as a potential incident and engage your security team immediately." 1password.com/blog/from-ma...

Morning thought: would somebody want this if you didn't tell somebody it had AI in it? I'm editing a video I made about using the Puppet MCP server to create a new module and this is what I'm thinking about... if this wasn't AI, would this be interesting?

I'm once again reviving this meme template for the Kubernetes community

I've been banging my head against GitHub CoPilot trying to figure out why it wasn't following my custom instructions file. Asking the LLM why it didn't follow them was no help. It told me "my bad" and made useless changes which it then also ignored. The clincher was .github\copilot-instructions.md

Where are we finding CFPs? I'm looking for conferences in North America.

This is a stretch but WHO HERE DRAWS COMICS? Literally any number of pages is fine. I need help testing out a Thing I Made

I don't post TikToks much, but this one got my day started off nice and hopefully it helps someone else who might need that!

As usual, Robin is spot-on with his takes on Reddit as a "channel" in your developer outreach: 1. Don't shill there 2. Don't sell there 3. Don't try to MQL there 4. Don't "check out my article" there There are ways to engage on Reddit. Worth the few minutes to read! rmoff.net/2026/01/23/i...

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Might be starting a Blades in the Dark game soon. I’ve never run, or even played, it. Any advice?

Hey you! Are you a TTRPG writer staring at discourse on bluesky??? Would you rather be writing for a game? I want to pay you (at $0.20/word) to write for a zine month project! I'm seeking folks interested in folk stories and examining power structures in storytelling!

This is a great post on the importance of building trust for growth: www.elenaverna.com/p/growth-is-... The focus is more on SaaS products, but I think a lot of this applies to any type of team trying to get folks to choose their product over the competition.

The difference between "dev" and "ops" is not about who writes code. It's 2026, dude: everyone writes code. The difference is a separation of concerns. Are you responsible for writing code to generate revenue, or building the systems for code to run on? charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/bring-back...

Using VS Code Copilot today (instead of my usual Cursor) and a little astounded by the jump they've made since I tried it out last year. Used to be completely awful, but now starting to get there. I find it still requires more effort than working with Cursor, but they are definitely closing the gap.

Bolt 5.0.1 is out with a new plan_context function to get information about whether a plan is running in Bolt or Puppet Enterprise. Windows 11 and RHEL 10 support were also added! Full details in the official Bolt release notes: 👉 help.puppet.com/bolt/current... #Puppet #InfrastructureAsCode

Feel like he’s breaking the 4th wall bc he realized this is kinda f’d up

We are experiencing several outages due to the high winds. Crews are responding to restore power as safely and as quickly as possible. If outages occur, an estimated time of restoration will be determined for each outage once damage has been assessed by our crews.

Got a bunch of playbooks that you want to use with your Puppet-managed infrastructure? In this video, I provision a new AWS load balancer using an #Ansible Playbook running through Perforce #Puppet! Make your tools play nice together! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_wH... #InfrastructureAsCode

Last night I downloaded Ollama and installed it. This morning I ran a group of 7K products through it, tagging them as it went. It was so easy to get started with this, I can't believe I haven't tried this sooner!

Happy New Year! With January here, it's time for another Puppetlabs Module Roundup for the new module releases on the Forge from December 2025! Check out the full roundup: dev.to/puppet/puppe... Is one of your favourite #puppet modules not showing up in the roundups? What would you like to see?

The first day back after two weeks off is a shock to the system. My brain remembers all the things, but it is very clearly sitting in the "do not want" chair today. I might have to bribe it with chocolate or a promise of future game times or something.

📢 Puppet Enterprise 2025.7 & 2023.8.7 are here! Highlights: Code Assist for faster Puppet dev work, real-time patch alerts, RHEL 10 support expanded, CVE fixes, and UI improvements. 🧐 Read more on the release: dev.to/puppet/puppe... #InfrastructureAsCode #Puppet

I was today years old when I learned that hitting Control + Backspace would delete entire words. And it's not even new. It's been there practically forever. I am ashamed. And yes, Ctrl+Delete apparently also does entire words, which I also learned today, and am also ashamed to have not known.
