This is trash

> Usage of API's to manage hosts is not supported, and may only provide read-only information.

I was hype for a few sec ... they raised the limit of host, but no api is a dealbreaker.

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.
Final call! 📣

Join us with @kelseyhightower.com tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 4, at 17:00 UTC to explore the future of configuration with our Configuration Control Plane, and turn configuration from a source of risk into a source of reliability!

for context: the second edition of "Observability Engineering" starts off swinging with an opinionated chapter called "The Fundamentals of Building Good Software".

which begs the question... what IS ✨ good software ✨?

i'll drop my answers 👇 but curious to hear others.
@charity.wtf asked a great question on LinkedIn today. Her question was: "What is ✨ good software ✨?"

I'd love to hear your answers, but I'd also like to share mine. So if you'll allow me a moment of indulgence... 🧵
