I wrote down a thing! "Unravel the mysteries" might be overselling it, but I have done a deep dive into Service Overload and describe 4 industry standard engineering patterns you can use to increase your service resiliency and boost your uptime.

@DropKiwifarms This level of hate seems exhausting

I'm a week late to this ROFL party, but I am figuratively dying right now. 🤣

This one is actually my story, about adapting to massive scaling challenges, a gamble that didn't pay off, and the work of my friends in Traffic SRE, particularly my beloved colleague @_jdh. Buckle up, we're going for a trip down memory lane!

My favorite AI generated image that I have managed: "A futuristic wolf warrior attacking little red riding hood in the style of cyberpunk"

If you want to learn a lot about the history of global load balancing /at scale/ in a short amount of time, read this! And if you are ex-Google (and/or ex-Traffic) it's a walk down memory lane. 😉

It's true! I'm joining @StanzaSystems and we've got some *great* things planned.

It's time to put an end to the stalking. #dropkiwifarms #kiwifarms

I filed suit against ⁦@DonaldJTrumpJr⁩, ⁦@RudyGiuliani⁩, ⁦@DanScavino⁩, & others for witness intimidation & retaliation. Donald Trump, ⁦@FoxNews⁩, & ⁦@IngrahamAngle⁩ are also named in the law suit. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Today, Madison Cawthorn voted NO on the Violence Against Women Act. Why would you do that?

I am Democrat Jasmine Beach-Ferrara. I am running against Madison Cawthorn. I have 4.5K followers. My opponent has 256K. Can you please retweet this and ask everyone you know to follow this account to build our platform?

Let's be clear. This election won't be over when Trump says it's over. It will be over after every vote is counted. That includes mail-in ballots postmarked on Election Day, as well as military ballots. This is a democracy. Whether Trump likes it or not, we count every vote.

It’s Election Day. Go vote, America!

The right to vote is the most fundamental American right there is. We need to immediately expand vote-by-mail, online voter registration, and early voting to ensure everyone can safely exercise their right to participate in our electoral process. nbcnews.com/politics/meet-…
