I've been screening candidates for a couple of open positions we have at Tensorlake and I'm amaze at the number of fake resumes we receive. I've jumped in several screen calls where candidates just drop off the call when I asked them for proof of identification 🤷‍♂️

I wrote a blog post about sandboxes, schedulers, and how we're scaling our infrastructure at @tensorlake.ai. Go check it out! www.tensorlake.ai/blog/startin...

coding agent: The run succeeded. All 42 tests across the 8 test classes passed in 3m11s. commit that made tests pass: Skip test in local CI

the reason we have this platform at all, or smartphones or modern CPUs or half the things you rely on online is because of trans people and we need to work harder at protecting and uplifting them and not supporting transphobe platforms, people and politicians

I guess this is a good time to bring this old blog post back: www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/f...

Fuck Harry Potter just read discworld. It's a fantastical world of magical creatures and adventure but the author has class consciousness and knows how to write comedy that isn't just making fun of how fat a character is

Nothing like a divorce to make you reconsider all those cables you’ve been hoarding for two decades. Will I ever need 5 hdmi cables in my new 1 bedroom apartment? 🧐

I have an alias in my terminal called danger-claude

Yesterday was my last day at Deno. From today, I'll be cheering the talented team on from outside the org. This also means that I'm now considering my next move in the DX/DevRel/Technical marketing space.

we're reach the state of every company when you need to have the talk about `ah-mi` vs `eh-em-ai`

Me to claude: Write a gha workflow to do this very specific thing Claude: done Me again: Review your changes looking for things that won’t work on gha Claude: ugh, yeah, these things won’t work If the machines cannot write gha functional workflows at first try, what chance do we mere mortals have?

I don’t have a stomach nor an esophagus

I completely forgot that we hired @rafa.design at Netlify after he slid into my twitter dms almost a decade ago now. ”Maybe I can help” is probably the understatement of the decade.

Made the cover of @acm.org with "A Decade of Docker Containers", recapping much systems work! Docker grew so fast in those early days that we never got a chance to write an academic paper about it, so this has been a long time coming cacm.acm.org/research/a-d... w/ @justincormack.bsky.social djs55

your under-provisioned and poorly configured CI system is staring down at you and laughing at your "AI productivity gains"

I have a really hard time understanding how a website can go downhill so quick that not even the most basic things that have been working for 15 years work anymore

This is good read about the state of open source and AI. Unfortunately, I'm skeptic about GitHub doing something to make things better. So far, their latest changes in PRs, splitting large PRs in one page per file(WTF), make reviewing code generated by AI worse, no better 🤷‍♂️

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/...
