I created a Kubernetes package installer based on configuration as data. Instead of parameterizing every field, it encourages post-installation customization. The installer is open source and can be used without ConfigHub. Let me know what you think. medium.com/@bgrant0607/... #Kubernetes

Interesting: "It builds on top of Kubernetes features like Pods and Pod autoscaling, but takes the Kubernetes control-plane out of the critical path to achieve lower latency."

Continuing my sabbatical builder spree: Meet otel.eexplorer, your friendly open-source OpenTelemetry Entity explorer. Feedback welcome here or via GitHub. github.com/mhausenblas/... #opentelemetry #entity #explorer #visualization #knowledgebase #sparql

I'm now addicted to 2 (small) pi extensions: github.com/jkuball/pi-d... and github.com/badlogic/pi-... It's way easier (and faster) to work with it when you can give it early feedback, in a nice editor. If you're using pi-coding-agent, check them out. If you're not (yet) using pi -> pi.dev

A GitHub for maintainers - Giving dependencies the same treatment the fork got nesbitt.io/2026/05/02/a...

I asked Claude (Sonnet) to bootstrap a new project (loosely) based on another one. There was a models.json file in the original project, with references to opus, sonnet, and haiku. Guess which ones made it to the new project? Only sonnet and haiku ;-)

Developers need to tinker or they'll reject your platform. You also can't let them customize everything - that's tomorrow's legacy code. Does it work to let them tinker at the edges, keep the center standardized? cote.io/2026/04/21/l...

Excellent talk from @mariozechner.at on coding agents, and "slowing the fuck down" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjfb... 18 minutes, this is a very good time investment (while your agent is coding for you of course ;-) If you prefer to read: mariozechner.at/posts/2026-0...

As someone who has suggested using cooldowns to mitigate some attacks, I did enjoy this article arguing they are a poor solution and moral problem: calpaterson.com/deps.html Cal suggests using upload queues instead, which I would agree with.

If you're using the pi coding agent on Mac, here's a quick SwiftUI menu bar app to monitor your sessions: github.com/vbehar/PiScope and if you haven't tried pi yet, this is a good time to do it ;-) pi.dev

Interesting (lighter) alternative to Temporal

Oh! pi.dev has moved to Earendil. Good move. If you are into agentic AI and haven't tried it yet, now is a good time.

What if you could package, distribute, and secure Agent Skills like you do with your container images, configuration, and libraries? This is my proposal for an open specification for managing Skills as OCI Artifacts, re-using the same tools and infra you already have thomasvitale.com/agent-skills...

Awesome new project by @lbroudoux.bsky.social and @kheddache.me, to expose APIs to AI agents. I really like this blog post and their mindset on the problem reshapr.io/blog/from-co...

Betterleaks: a new open source Secrets Scanner from the author of Gitleaks. It's a drop-in replacement for Gitleaks with new filters, configurable validation, faster scans, more options, and built for the agentic era. #Git www.aikido.dev/blog/betterl...

I just published a blog post on an experiment I did with building a dry-run mode for the OpenTelemetry Collector. It's a work in progress, and was mainly built to scratch my own itch, but nonetheless -- enjoy! ubuntu.com/blog/buildin... #observability #otel #o11y #sre

The Go Checksum Database guarantees that every single Go build uses the same source for a given module version. However, GitHub might not show you that code. pkg.geomys.dev displays the canonical source of a Go module, and it comes with browser extensions to replace pkg.go.dev source links.

interesting move by @percona.bsky.social, spinning off #opensource project PerconaEverest to a new co and turning it to a multi-vendor #database provisioning on #Kubernetes (OpenEverest). aiming to donate it to the CNCF. A nice addition to the #cloudnative stack. www.percona.com/blog/blog-po...

o16g.com is the best thing i've read in a week full of seriously great reads. and now, as of two hours ago...with its own line of merch. do scroll down until you see the "honeycomb edition" shirts.. you will understand my excitement 😍🌈 www.bonfire.com/store/o16g/

For those of us struggling with feeling devalued as programmers with the rise of AI, I present the following quote from Paul Graham: "In programming, as in many fields, the hard part isn't solving problems, but deciding what problems to solve."

Mitchell Hashimoto's AI adoption journey: mitchellh.com/writing/my-a... Really interesting. As always, push past the initial friction.

I really like the idea behind gryph github.com/safedep/gryph, it is hooking up onto your agents and create an audit trail log. It was simple to install, and did the job (I'm talking about the free opensource solution)

Merci à tous les orgas de la team @cloudnativedays.fr ! la barre était déjà haute après le KCD 2023, mais cette édition était vraiment top ! Vivement la prochaine ;-)

I wrote about Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw and Moltbook, the fascinating, weird and sometimes even useful social network for digital assistants to swap tips and gossip with each other simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/30/...

The Oxide RFD on using LLMs is exceptionally well written (h/t @bcantrill.bsky.social). This is a more coherent idea of what writing/text/language *is* and what's it's for---and why its expedited manufacture won't invalidate all aspects of that ontology---than a good chunk of the humanist hysterics.

Here's my enormous round-up of everything we learned about LLMs in 2025 - the third in my annual series of reviews of the past twelve months simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/31/... This year it's divided into 26 sections! This is the table of contents:

I have opinions about GenAI agents. Too many for Bluesky, so I wrote a whole blog post instead. blog.bryanl.dev/posts/agent-...

New post! ✨ Prompt caching ✨ My first big project post for @ngrok.com. 5 weeks, 12217 lines of code, 195 commits. I poured a lot into this one, and learned a lot in the process. I really hope you enjoy it ❤️

Here's Emil's 17 step guide to how he used VS Code agent mode plus Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini Pro 3 and Claude Opus to build the new library - it's a fantastic case study in using LLMs for serious, prediction quality code (vibe engineering, not vibe coding) friendlybit.com/python/writi...

Excellent read on the new changes to the MCP Spec - thanks @aaronpk.com!

want automatic completions for your kubectl brew plugins - or at least the ones written in go with the Cobra lib? github.com/marckhouzam/... Smart hack - see the Readme for more details.

As we test Kubernetes clusters beyond the supported 5,000+ nodes limit at LinkedIn, we're finding out 'List API' calls are a bottleneck in cluster reliability. So I'm publishing a deep dive about why this is a problem and what you can do about them. ahmet.im/blog/kuberne...

Nice! The interesting part is github.com/apple/contai... TL;DR it uses a lightweight VM for each container

I just tried www.instapaper.com to replace Pocket and found out I already have an account. Indeed, there was 1 item in my account from 14 years ago! > Automatic Flushing: The Rails 3.1 Plan

Goodbye pocket... support.mozilla.org/kb/future-of... Now I need to find an alternative...

When the LLM doesn't know what LLM means... In an AI-generated code review, it suggested the following comment: > "DAGGER_ALLOW_LLM=all", // Enables Long-term Memory (LLM) capabilities for Dagger processing

DeepWiki is pretty cool. I've tried it on some on my own projects, such as octopilot, and the generated schemas are really nice. For example Octopilot has a complex logic to create/update github pull-requests with 3 different strategies, and deepwiki.com/dailymotion-... makes it easy to understand!

We just released @updatecli.io version v0.100.0! While hitting version 100 feels like a milestone, the truth is even more impressive: we’ve published 206 releases since the beginning of the project, 5 years ago. www.updatecli.io/blog/updatec... #devops #continuousdelivery
