Testing Severe Emergency Alerts by GOI was very loud, it also override the silent / DND settings. Luckily it was a test drill and not a real emergency.

Over 80% of iximiuz Labs' revenue comes from lifetime memberships. It's been a puzzling fact for me because it's relatively expensive - $175 at the moment, but used to be $250-300. Recently, someone asked me about my career transition from a developer into a platform engineer, and while answering, I figured it took me about 3 years to make this move. And I'd been studying and practicing really hard during these 3 years. Having a service like iximiuz Labs would definitely come in handy - for both its learning materials and the ephemeral VMs for safe and handy practice. But 3 years of annual subscriptions are more expensive than one lifetime purchase. Turns out everything checks out 🙃

One of my brilliant friends is looking for a breakthrough in DevRel as a professional opportunity. She has been very active in communities and is looking for opportunities in the U.S. Her name is @Tharunyap And here is her website: tharunyapathipati.vercel.app Please RT so a good opportunity finds her!

Stop chasing 90% test coverage. I've shipped more reliable code with 40% coverage than teams with 90%. Coverage is all about confidence. It's not about numbers.

We're not writers anymore. We're editors. AI writes the code. We review it, fix it, improve it. The role is changing, but the need for skilled engineers? Still there. Maybe more than ever. Because someone has to make sure that AI-generated code actually works.

@johncrickett Actually, not reading the book but reading the research paper “Attention is All you need” 🙂

Reading software engineering books is underrated. It's not that you can't get the information elsewhere. It's that the author went to the effort to curate and structure the information, adding in their opinion and experience. So what software engineering book are you reading?

What a film … #Dhurandhar2‌ !!! Aditya Dhar 🫡 box office -ka baap !!! Many congratulations to Ranveer and the entire cast and crew. A must watch film for every indian. Jai hind 🇮🇳 @AdityaDharFilms @RanveerOfficial

Coding is dead. That's what someone told me today. I disagree. Yes, AI models are getting better fast. We'll see incredible improvements in the next few months. But the basics of good code won't change. What will change? We'll have a lot more messy, AI-generated code that needs human review. More code to validate, test, and refactor. The role might evolve, but skilled coders will always be needed. That's my take. Could be wrong, but it's what I'm seeing right now.

@arpit_bhayani Very well said - Tone matters a lot

Once you are in the system (team or company) and thinking deeply, you will start to notice inefficiencies and gaps. You will see decisions being made that feel wrong. But instead of putting your point across bluntly (as if you know everything), it is extremely important to raise it thoughtfully. What I have learned over the last decade is that tone matters more than the content, at least at first. Challenge decisions, yes, but do it with kindness and clarity. Do not assume others missed something; assume they had different inputs. One of the things I became good at is framing - I started framing my inputs as additions, not corrections. It changes how they are received. When offering feedback or questioning a choice, be mild in tone but sharp in reasoning. Of course, sharpness must come from preparation, so gather as much context as possible before making an argument. Here's how I "do my homework." - understand the context and constraints - explore alternatives and their trade-offs - anticipate counters and prepare - cite metrics, issues, or past incidents - keep it brief but loaded with substance - state assumptions and ask clarifying questions - suggestions should back team or product goals Be as detailed as possible, because that builds trust. Over time, your feedback will not just be heard, but it will be sought. The goal is not just to "win" arguments; it is to move the team forward and chase the same north star.

If there is one thing that you need to do today, it is to sit down and read this post. Read it carefully. And then think about the implications for your life.

This can change your life 👇

After 8 years in India I can say with confidence that following traffic laws here is almost entirely optional. As long as you don't make illegal left turns at the end of the month and avoid main roads when driving w/o a helmet, you're immune to the law. This needs to change.

You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and falling over. So keep falling and keep learning.

Do you write tests for your automation scripts? If not, 2026 should be the year you work on this skill. Here's why: Things are expanding rapidly in the software world. With more AI use, not just our code but our infrastructure needs to be tested before hitting production. For the past 6 months, I've been using Pester to write test cases for my PowerShell automation scripts. I feel more confident and safe knowing my scripts are tested. Are you writing test cases for your automation scripts? If not, what's holding you back?

Over the past year, I have used AI to enhance my DevOps skills. GitHub Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT have been particularly helpful. To master a new technology, you need to experiment with it. AI can be an invaluable tool to leverage for your benefit.

Wishing everyone a joyful and prosperous New Year 2026!
