In honor of @jimweirich we're having a remote group co-watching of his Play-by-Play video at @chargify today at lunch

The thing that you have to understand about leadership levels like mine and above: by the time someone has drawn the courage to ask you for help on something, it’s at the point that you have to make absolutely sure you’re paying attention and willing to help.

Folks, the time to run debirdify.pruvisto.org or fedifinder.glitch.me is now. You don't need to have an account elsewhere yet. Download the CSVs while you can, and you can import them later. go go go go

.@awscloud #awswishlist Let me set the ENTIRE console to UTC. Always. No local time zone. Just UTC.

@JxckSweeney @ElonJet Elon suspending the account that tracks his jets but allowing the account that tracks Bezos’ jets shows what type of “free speech” he wants with the Twitter acquisition.

Vendor lock-in? They wish...

@mipsytipsy So just learned on accident that clicking connect on LinkedIn mobile app doesn’t give you an option to add a comment to the request. Also no way to undo. Sorry was not trying to spam you!

for all of you asking how to keep in touch, post-twitterpocalypse: 1) i'm not actively abandoning ship 2) mipsytipsy@hachyderm.io...i don't really care for mastodon, but may experiment further 3) linkedin...but i decline spam invites, so add a comment that has the word "twitter"

one of our most consistent sources of leads continues to be engineers who leave a job where they could use honeycomb, and join a job where they can't 💜🐝

GPT can iteratively write, debug, and test programs to accomplish arbitrary goals. Pictured: GPT reading snippets of HTML from HN and building a headline scraper in Python, overcoming bugs by simply reading the errors and self-judgments and hypothesizing to itself. Thread ↓

Yeeesssss!! Lowkey obsessed with decision records/ADRs right now. If I were starting a new company (which I *am not,* and *will never*) I would be using these from day one. And not just for technical decisions, either. For any decision with a blast radius of >1 group.

@QuinnyPig @redmonk @sogrady If I were betting - Github will build the next Heroku-like and it will take over everything because it will be a comprehensive all-in-one dev experience that flips this problem on its head (probably based on Azure underneath, but if they're smart they'll make it cloud-agnostic).

Once again a @redmonk person puts words to a vague sense of discomfit that I'm left with post-#reinvent. I've spent the last week wondering if I'm the one who's out of touch. You can fool me pretty easily, but putting one over on @sogrady and company is quite another matter.

Today one of my team said to me that he thought my job was to create the conditions where people could choose to be happy at work, and the rest was up to them. I really love this way of expressing the power and boundaries of management.

Is there a clipboard manager that will auto-strip tracking codes from tweets when I copy the link?

I'll admit it. I tear up every year when Magee calls "Figgy Pudding"

Thank you @samuelberthe for lo. Doing adventofcode with generics is lifechanging!

This fucking guy

@djbyter Is this from an ai gen? Which one, I want one!!!

AI will be a huge force of change over the next two decades. But it’s a parrot. It gives you the avg; middle; common. & reinforce the norm. But we’ll leave even more opportunity to innovate at the edges. Creativity is how to win. Just make sure your answer is above avg, not below

@kmcquade3 @__steele Ha! Cloudsplaining was the first that came to my mind… I forget you wrote it! ☺️

@drewblas Semgrep Checkov DAST tools before SPA frameworks got big, less automatic and more limited since then Cloudsplaining (caveat: I wrote it), ScoutSuite And the next project that me, @__steele, and others are working on 😃 more to come

My favorite type of security tools are the ones where you can just yolo them against a target or directory, without having to think about arguments, and you get high value output immediately.
