Sending good vibes to all the teams working on Brickstorm, React2Shell, and the DDoSs going on.

We dont just need to elect someone to clean up the mess Trump made, we need someone to fix the last 40 years of mistakes that created Trump and every billionaire like him who uses their wealth to control nations

There's a lot of missing failure domains here, especially in the orchestration APIs. Yes, everyone has outages, but not everyone has 1 big failure domain for its orchestration layer. Multi datacenter (AZ) architecture if for nothing if 1 mistake can impact the whole region.

Hiring in only certain cities or within proximity to offices is simply anti-DEI.

It's 2025 and we still have container breakouts. Maybe it's time for things to change.

I wonder if the anti-DEI crowd realizes that DEI helps veterans. #idiocracy

There is some debate on what to call "machine identities" or "workload identities" or "Non-Human Identities" (NHI). But what about "Automation Identities"? 🤣😂

What psycopaths use gel deoderants? Seriously feels like you're putting sweat onto your pits. Sensory nightmare.

Maybe the three seashells in Demolition Man came about from an out of control dictator putting tariffs on toilet paper... #dumbass

These tariffs are taking away our freedom of choice. Freedom is choosing real coffee beans vs. whatever the fuck coffee is grown in America. (hint, coffee doesnt grow in the U.S.)

This tariff nonsense is America's version of Brexit... but dumber

If you were wondering whether signal is compliant to store or transmit federal data.. it is most certainly not.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
