Every meeting should be aimed at achieving someone's goals; that person is the one responsible for the meeting and decides what they want to get out of it and how they will do so. Meetings without someone clearly responsible run a high risk of being directionless and unproductive. #principleoftheday

My marketing strategy with Terraform early on was "we ship support for new cloud features faster than the clouds themselves." And I'd setup timers and things to show how long it took us vs. them. It worked pretty well, a lot of people liked that.
I did this because the biggest negative feedback I got early on was that Terraform would never be able to keep up with cloud providers. So I wanted to actively show the opposite.
One day Amazon complained and forced me to take down a tweet about it because I hurt the CloudFormation team's feelings (allegedly). They soft-threatened a partnership we were negotiating so I complied. I was pissed. It was the only time I can remember ever "censoring" myself at someone's request.
I remember telling our partnership VP to tell them they can resolve it by simply shipping the feature faster. He said he couldn't tell them that (obviously). I was just frustrated.
I stopped doing the "we're faster than them" marketing after that because I didn't want to piss them off or risk our partnership anymore. Also, them getting mad about it was enough admission to me that we had defeated that point.
You can find some of these tweets if you look at my history. There weren't any personal attacks, no inflammatory words, just stuff like: "We implemented feature X in Y days. Cloudformation still doesn't support it."
I could absolutely see how that would feel bad if you were on that team. But like, we're businesses competing and there were no personal attacks here. I don't think its a shady tactic to point out what you do well and what your competition does poorly (so long as you're not being deceptive about it). It still makes me frustrated thinking about it.
Anyways, it's nice to be so far post-infra now that I can just be honest and transparent about it all.

@GergelyOrosz Would be good if they could share how they managed to get buy in and show ROI vs Copilot. Also the various security hoops they had to get approved.

From a dev at a large tech company:
“We were only allowed to use GitHub Copilot as an AI IDE. It was OK. But then more and more of us used Cursor on side projects and it was *so much better*
Luckily we have have a dev platform team and we told them we want to use Cursor. So they ran these internal tests and benchmarks and found that it worked a lot better.
They now sorted everything and we can all officially use Cursor - and it’s been such a big positive change!”

Until yesterday I used icanhazip.com to give me my external IP address but say hello to @ipapi_co which can take an IP address to look up but without it uses your external IP address & reports it back along with info like country (useful for @Azure VMs).

Hey @TeslaCharging @TeslaAUNZ @Tesla should consider increasing the charging price once the state of charge (SoC) is above 90% to encourage more efficient use of charging stations in Australia (people staying until 100% when all stalls are full and people are waiting is terrible)
