Kona doing her best @firefox.com impersonation

When I maintained the Rust runtime for AWS Lambda, trying to cross-compile OpenSSL because it's the default tls backend in reqwest was the top issue for people starting with the runtime. I'm very happy that I was able to provide a little bit of help to remove that category of problems all together.

To end the year, a new major version of #rustlang reqwest, v0.13.0 is out! 🚀 - This brings rustls by default, replacing native-tls. 🦀 - Some feature and method cleanup. - But easy to upgrade for most everyone. seanmonstar.com/blog/reqwest...

Just published a new #rustlang reqwest release candidate: v0.13.0-rc.1. This has some breaking changes, the biggest was switching to rustls by default. I'd appreciate if you gave it a spin 🙏 github.com/seanmonstar/...

We have built a self-hosted runner system that does virtual machine orchestration under the hood, cutting our CI times by 50-90%, all for barely 400 EUR/month! Delan Azabani explains it all in her talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W1m... Transcript and slides: www.azabani.com/2025/12/18/s...

I hadn’t done a dog photoshoot in a while. Our neighbor Nova is a spunky little Australian shepherd pup that cannot stay put for more than 5 seconds.

It was all fun and games until the diarrhea happened

Congrats! If you're working with OpenTelemetry in Lambda, this may be interesting: github.com/streamfold/r.... Rust OTel collection with very fast cold start times.

Rust on AWS Lambda is now GA 🎉🎉 To celebrate @loige.co and me put together a short newsletter and talked about what's next for the next two chapters of the Rust on Lambda book. And some details on the next release.... news.rust-lambda.com/p/from-exper... #serverless #rust #rustlang

AWS has promoted the Rust runtime for AWS Lambda from experimental to GA. Not much has changed in the runtime, but their customers will have official support from the company. I’m glad it finally happened, but it’s still a bittersweet moment for me: aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput...

Sirius, one of my favorite dogs at the shelter, got a room upgrade. Now he just needs a house upgrade.

Sneak preview of @tensorlake.ai's agents runtime. A new durable, parallel and isolated execution model for deep research agents. Text this number with a financial research question to see it in action - +1-217-601-5252! We're currently in private beta. I can't wait to make it GA!

this is what we do for “fun”

The company I work for, @tensorlake.ai, is hiring a couple of roles remote within the US: tensorlake.ai/careers You might be a great fit if you like working with Rust, Python, K8s, me?, and you enjoy building products for developers.

this is just rude

Anthropic owes me money, yay!

Me: I’m not sure if we should add this feature, it might confuse customers. Me, five minutes later: oh, I just checked the code and I actually implemented it three days ago. I completely forgot about that.

Enjoy Benji in slow-mo

This was the welcome committee at the shelter this morning

I’ve spent the last two weeks deleting a bunch of code someone wrote with Claude Code. Guess how I feel about coding agents these days.

Oh, no, I got puppy fever!

I can understand using AI coding tools to help with with work, what I cannot understand is AI generated code with 0 tests. Like how did you manage to do that? Any coding tool these days will spit an ungodly amount of tests whether you like it or not

Last week, we were treated to an extraordinary talk internally at @oxide.computer. It was at once an expository talk of a complicated software system and an experience talk of developing systems software in the large -- and it was far too good to keep to ourselves! oxide.computer/blog/systems...

Fear not, this is still mostly a dogs account. Here are two impossible friends trying to play tag

Job update: a couple of weeks ago, I joined @tensorlake.ai full time. I’m having a lot of fun building the product with @diptanu.bsky.social and the rest of this wonderful team. We have a few open positions if you’d like to work with us: www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/...

Don’t forget to take these with you in your next deep space research mission. You never know when you’ll have to open up your coworker’s chest to remove some leeches

Harper and Howlyn are the cutest sister pups at the shelter right now. They’re quite shy, but they love each other very much. They’re quite start playing as soon as we get them both outside the kennel.

I wrote a bit about how we verify linearizability of @s2.dev using Porcupine! s2.dev/blog/lineari...

this wonderful(and almost 30yo) talk crossed my mind randomly this afternoon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahv...

no cheating, post the last pic of your pet

ok but what if the dinosaurs are like IN SPACE

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

SlateDB now has snapshot support! so the next step will soon be (possibly SSI?) transactions 😁 github.com/slatedb/slat...

I'm back in SF and actively searching the streets for Wily. If you see her, DO NOT approach her, just call me: 4152185520.

These two are Tarzan and Jane. They have their own private suite at the shelter. Jane is such a lady that she needs to wash her paws every time she drinks water. Both of them are available for adoption: www.placer.ca.gov/1912/Adoptab... /cc @weratedogs.com

This is Ozzy. He’s the cutest asshole in the shelter. He laid down belly up to let me pet him and proceeded to pee all over himself and me. You should adopt him. petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid...

Speaking of which, I encourage you all to read @rawsignal.ca's newsletter today: www.rawsignal.ca/newsletter-a... "[Eric Schmidt thinks] automating away the humans is righteous b/c it will reduce dependence on entitled employees, and produce appropriate level of fear/obedience in ones who remain."

[email protected] migrated slatedb.io to Astro Starlight. It's now living in our main repo so we can keep it in sync with the code. 🔥

Definitely not the first blog post inspired by a @monkchips.com comment, and won't be the last. Monkchips is the sand in my oyster that makes beautiful pearls. 🦪😆💕 (Still mean to circle back to the question of what it means to have good technical taste...) www.honeycomb.io/blog/disposa...

Remember when Ozzy tweeted that T-PAIN did the best cover of "War Pigs"
