Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

After nearly 25 years, I’m publishing the Distributed Computing Manifesto in its entirety, an internal document from the early days of Amazon that transformed the architecture of our e-commerce platform. allthingsdistributed.com/2022/11/amazon…

You'd think people have never worked within a large monolith. It's not like those are free of organizational issues and tech debt. Scaling a monolith comes with incredible complexity at scale, that complexity is just elsewhere. @pcalcado is spot on here 😄

If you want to learn all about React state management, from the basic hooks, through React Query, and into state managers like Redux, and Zustand, check out my new course on @freeCodeCamp youtube.com/watch?v=-bEzt5… !

A *year* to remediate an @Azure spoofing vulnerability?! Tell you what; @AzureDevOps is a bad name, so I suggest you rename it “Circus Deploy.” That way there’s no customer confusion around where the clowns should take their business. 🤡🤡🤡

One perk of using clouds that emphasize open APIs is that lots of stuff "just works." Here's a demo of using the popular continuous delivery tool Flagger (github.com/fluxcd/flagger) to ship workloads to GKE: medium.com/google-cloud/d…

This is such a disappointing user-experience from @Docker The alpine / golang images cannot be pulled enough times within a 6 hour period for CI that runs on every commit So now we're going to have to add "docker login" to dozens of builds, despite not pushing any images there

Playing around with some more data on @chainguard_dev images! Here are the package counts of our images compared to the standard ones. The Wolfi CVEs are all 0, but here's that graph too.

This is spot on. Managerialism in both the public and private sector has deprived workers of autonomy to the point where they have no pride in their work and part of them wants their employer to fail.

... and now a very clear example of why SOX change control requirements are designed to prevent any individual or team from perpetuating financial fraud without detection. ProTip: branch protection, CODEOWNERS, and GitOps.

Containers aren't "boxed processes" - they are "boxes FOR processes" 🧐 Often, a box is implemented with namespaces and cgroups (Linux containers). Probably that's what made the misconception so widespread. But there are VM- and (since recently) Wasm-based boxes too!
