I still think about when New Relic wrote a blog arguing that customers should leave vendors acquired by private equity (PE) b/c prices will go up+quality will go down. It was a stab at Sumo Logic just bought by PE. 6 months later New Relic got bought by PE...and deleted the blog

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, a new slot has opened up on the Rawkode Academy partner programme. Do you want some sweet content on your dev tool and support my work at the same time? Let's chat. Sharing appreciated ❣️

Recently I saw my GitHub account from somebody else computer and I noticed my activity being almost zero in opensource. We have also moved back a few years, and it looks like it has been 3–4 years since I actively contributed to a project. Not sure how I feel about it, but it was a bit unexpected 😅

Overall I think #nixos is doing a great job. I use it every day but from my standpoint the effort I need to put in place to do something that I will do with a couple of kubectl, docker command is hard to justify. But I get it, a lot depends on your standpoint as I said

It has been a while since I wrote something like this in my blog but here we are 11pm. Friday deployed! gianarb.it/blog/keep-in...

well, I deployed a mailman + hyperkitty because why not!

@depot.dev is doing a lot of work those days analyzing and sharing their finds about how their users interact with GitHub Action. Common mistakes or easy wins when it comes to optimization. depot.dev/blog/why-org...

@rawkode.dev I am playing around with communication platform. I am trying out discourse but they have a list of supported auth provider (google,facebook,linkedin,discord). It does not look like they have a generic one. I would like to use Zitadel with it. Wondering if you trying it already

I have this standing desk from Ikea since 2015, probably even more. I started to use this part now that Ludovica turned 1.5y old

It looks like flying back in time @rawkode.dev

I agree with Viktor. Based on my limited used of CoPilot the suggestions are often too extensive compared to what I am expecting when writing code. Overall I prefer to use the chat or aider because I feel LLM are way more useful as buddy than for code completion www.marginalia.nu/log/a_125_ai...

Buy vs build software and its relation with eng career shippingbytes.com/2025/09/24/b...

Do you like to write code manually like a 🦕 ? Do you want to keep doing that and get paid for it? Find a place that values durable code. Good for us durable code is almost everywhere. Every organization, even the one that uses LLM a lot has somewhere durable code www.honeycomb.io/blog/disposa...

It is not even 10am, I did 40 minutes meeting and I have 8 articles I want to read open. Nop they are not coming from my RSS feed reader! The majority are coming from @charity.wtf again!! 😂

I was doom-scrolling LinkedIn, and then I quickly read an interaction that made me to thinking about code dependencies, seniority and things like that shippingbytes.com/2025/09/24/b... Since I can't find the post anymore because I doom-scrolled over it I decided to write a note about it

I did not do much interviewing before but the CV I am looking at raises a lot of questions. SWE early in their career (2-3y experience) with a lot of companies already in their background. With just a few (sometime one) months of work 😕 I am wondering if is the market or something else

I am wondering how much it will cost for CNCF to host its own IRC server and move there

2005: Your website looks like it was designed by a 3-year-old and barely works, this can't be a trustworthy source of information 2025: Your website looks like it was designed by a 3-year-old and barely works, this is the last bastion of truth on the Internet

Yesterday I joined a 20y old forum about chainsaw and gardening equipment. They have a section where you can share issues you have and how you are trying to fix them and people can help with troubleshooting and so on. The good old days when common hobbies and passion was the only thing that matters

Do you remember when I said that I was not going to do much home automation? Well, home assistant is just too fun!

Today I finally moved all my photo off Google. Disabled backup from my phone and moved everything to Synology NAS 😱 it was a journey

Wow! I was not expecting for those numbers! Good job!

Ok, the solution looks "cool" but really? I feel like they have even too many developers to keep busy or money to ship to Jeff B. vercel.com/blog/fluid-h... btw I don't think it is cool

This article was getting old as draft in my blog since a couple of weeks. I wrote a couple of different version but I feel it is not time to share it shippingbytes.com/2025/08/04/b...

did the market figure out how to get some money from the people that got height salaries for the last couple of years? Most likely the only people left with some of it, so money can get centralized a bit more? 😁

Nice one brooker.co.za/blog/2025/06...

Hello! it is urgent, I need to talk with somebody at Trade Republic!

Today I changed my DNS to DNS4EU www.joindns4.eu let's see how it goes!

I would like to read my rss feed with a ereader. I think, I am not sure, maybe a table with no light is enough? I am tired of my phone

I renew a domain. I got 4 emails. That's not the worst part. none of them saying I should have not waste money this way

Do you remember when remote code execution was an issue?😅

Still fighting against exposing a GRPC sever out from a GKE cluster with a TLS certificate 😕 Now I am trying the Gateway API because it looks like the new thing to use, but everywhere I read I see "limitations" or "half way exposed integrations". I am confused 😴

You know this is not how it works: * A tariff is applied when a pod gets scheduled to the cluster. The costs depend on the region the yaml originated from. * The tariffs are applied when a pod is evicted from a node to another one. 🤡

watch out there is a new tariff on how many pods you run your Kubernetes cluster

TIme to say thank you to David for all its hard work! A great first task this morning for me!

Since I did the mistake of using it a few weeks ago (luckily nothing worked)

At some point LLMs will be the baseline to measure human "intelligence". Lazy people will be below it. Laziness is a thing that sneaks in silently, and it takes effort to leave it outside!

I'm starting a DuckDB newsletter, feel free to subscribe at learningduckdb.com

Recently I was speaking with a friend who develops with a well polished setup for small/medium projects. Postgres as database, Redis for session storage and another Redis as queue system. Not sure about session but for small projects why not everything with Postgres? 10 to 100 messages a day

Svelte starter pack Curated by me, many people I know from the Svelte community personally go.bsky.app/QEhPG3P

Having some fun building a toy llm with the help of an LLM. Conversing with the LLM as suggested by @antirez.bsky.social is very informative. LLM for learning purpose instead of using it to get shit done at work is even more interesting So far we built tokenizer, embedding, positional encoding.

I attended many conferences sometime as speaker, sometime as sponsor and I can tell you there are two kind of conferences. The dev oriented one where you don't need to do much. Get the ticket, go onstage if you need, checkin and so on. Then there are corporate/sales conferences... a nightmare

Not sure what I am doing wrong but in the last year I wrote projects with: Svelte, React, Golang, Rust, PHP. After ~13y I am far away from sleeping on top of one technology, apparently. I think there is the right technology for the right problem, not yet figured out for me

The dark side of what I think about when I code with the help of an LLM gianarb.it/blog/llm-rai...

As you know I use LLMs to get some of my tasks done. What makes me to think about this is the connection between the code and the value. We read everywhere that value and code are not or should not be related. But I get paid to write software so it is hard to avoid making connections

Ah! GitHub is down for me and their status page is still green! I am quicker than their alerts! Or maybe there is no alert for when "Gianluca see a unicorn instead of GitHub UI"

I don't know how much a frontend dev can get done in 3 days, but I bootstrapped a React app and Claude wrote 95% of the code. It is a pretty good PoC at least for my standard, it costed ~10$ I think. Hard to judge what is going on here.

I recently started a new project in React, and it looks like their scaffolding does not work? It is a dependency issue not a big deal but what is going on? 😕 this is why Next.js is a thing? o.O

I am not sure if this is the result of the turbulence the NixOS community lives into since forever but many of the packages I use are not working so great anymore. I am thinking about direnv being broken for me currently, OrcaSlicer stopped working properly. I am not complaining btw
