Today in software engineering, Python installs are failing because setup tools made a deprecation notice a compile time error.

I have had a lot of conference food, and I gotta say that the food at @chicago.devopsdays.org is the best conference food I’ve ever had by a long way. Props to the organizers

I swear the job of anyone DevOps adjacent nowadays is just reading and understanding badly formatted or templated config languages. It's miserable

Good lord this is excellent writing from @jonathanliew.bsky.social

As always, Adam doing a better job in a hundred characters than I can do in an entire blog post! We should cowrite some day @adamhjk.me !
Good post by @brig.gs leebriggs.co.uk/blog/2024/12.... My $0.02 - DevRel done excellently certainly has intangibles that are beneficial. But they are measurable. To me, more than anything, the issue was that we got the order twisted - folks became individually famous and used that to drive product

I wrote my personal thoughts about where Developer Relations is going, with a traditional clickbaity title.

Very interested to hear where other people think Dev Rel is going.

A truly remarkable read, and a glimmer of hope for world politics that such a sensitive, difficult topic can be treated with such class and dignity in a political setting
I'm going to do some coverage on here of the assisted dying debate. If you're not interested please mute this thread now. It'll probably go on a while.

The secret to aging gracefully is knowing when to stop competing. My Dad beat me at the 100m age 11 and has been self declared family 100m champion ever since. Retire at the top

If you want to do alerts for keywords in Bluesky, I have support for it in grass

github.com/jaxxstorm/gr...

I assume everyone is as vain as I am and wants to get alerts for their name in social media platforms?

Can confirm.
It is possible to build Tailscale in a weekend. We did that and have been debugging it ever since.
interesting to see it called "from the archives" when its like a huge part of their marketing strategy to convince people that they can't just build the same thing themselves in a weekend (the anti-dropbox-hn-comment pill) . also its linked on the footer . very good article though

Anyone who tries to claim American food is better than British food should be forced to eat an entire serving of that sweet potato/marshmallow monstrosity constantly server up for thanksgiving

Well this is awesome, opened my bluesky feed and it's like Twitter was 5 years ago, without all the ads and vile opinions
November 21, 2024 at 1:42 PM
I really wanted Blue Sky to grab my attention like the bird site, but don't seem to get much value, I think primarily because I curated my feed for years. Any tips on how to find/discover people that can help?
