@eatonphil They used to distribute the articles in epub. Did that stop?

And if the rest of the articles are of this quality, the book (that doesn't exist) would probably turn my list of "two books I recommend all developers" into "three books I recommend all developers".

I was under the impression that Amazon Builders' Library was solution architect (sales) stuff and have been completely ignoring it. My mistake. It's an Engineering practices blog. And it's excellent. If they edited the site into a book I'd buy. aws.amazon.com/builders-libra…

@GergelyOrosz Is there data around incidents? I’m waiting for someone to use LLMs to parse the status page feeds have datasets around provider/service/region outages.

AWS published its first public post-even summary in ~2 years a few hours ago. This was after I emailed them that I'm writing an article comparing how AWS, Azure and GCP publicly communicate region-wide outages. And only AWS has not published a publicly viewable postmortem.

@ChrisTotty wait, those are considered "Dad shoes"? noooo.

@javebratt They are “dad shoes” but I’ve been wearing the New Balance 990 series for > 15 years.

@Aliafonzy43 Networking upgrade took EU datacenters offline for hours. EU customers would call in and reach an EU call center first, then be failed over to the US team. Enough EU customers called in that the failover to the US was saturated, taking the entire phone system down

I would love to hear stories from senior+ engineers who pushed fuck ups to prod to know I’m not crazy for feeling some type of way to be told my code quality is poor due to code pushed to prod that I quickly fixed when I found the issues . Just wanna know if this is something common . Also PR requires 2 approvals.

@AEW @TBSNetwork @Sling wow, Priscilla from @slinganswers helped me out. thank you! great experience. /cc @AEW @Sling

@AEW @TBSNetwork We ordered Forbidden Door on @Sling , got interrupted by a power outage and can’t watch the replay. Tried with @Sling support last 3 days and they can’t help me. Can y’all help me out?

@bobco85 @SNGreenways @csbellevue thank you for your videos, i’m a long time viewer. it’s made cycling in a new city so much more approachable!

3/3 You can watch the 1st video of my pair of Seattle to Bellevue bike guides using the 520 Trail here: youtu.be/ngyPqKfmT08 In general, the 520 Trail routes are longer but have less climbing compared to the I-90 Trail routes @SNGreenways @csbellevue #SEAbikes #bikePNW

1/3 Learn bike-friendly routes from downtown Seattle to downtown Bellevue on I-90 Trail in my bike guide video! I show 3 routes: direct, flattest, & Lake WA Loop. This is 2nd of 2 videos (1st uses 520 Trail). youtu.be/dF0yj7dj4f8 @SNGreenways @csbellevue #SEAbikes #bikePNW

Long, crazy story about academic honesty, but I was hooked: crumplab.com/articles/blog/…

At least the word Bonkers is getting more mainstream use.

Our new TV & Radio campaign, "Watching You", launches nationwide in the U.S. today🤗 We put a twist on The Police’s iconic song “Every Breath You Take” to highlight how companies like Google invade your privacy online & how easy it is to take back your privacy with DuckDuckGo. twitter.com/DuckDuckGo/sta…

These announcements are so cool. I love seeing technology like this.
