Tim Freeman

@rickasaurus I've seen (and done) that role as "lead developer". Often includes every management duty except ability to hire/fire or do formal performance mgmt. And the people are often oversubscribed and heading towards burnout 😒

What do you call someone who is 50/50 manager and dev title wise?

@Austen Hmm, they started experimenting with forcing logins in August 2021 (there are a number of articles and posts about it). Publicly accessible tweets/embeds was the norm for the majority of its life.

It’s funny because this is the way Twitter worked for a very long time. Then Elon reversed that, to both praise and criticism. Now we go back. I love watching stuff like this happening at companies over time. Competing metrics forces different optimization.

Reading "Feedly became unbearably slow" for nth time. Guessing that is at least partially caused by the freemium model? From what I can tell they advertise 15M users but more like 100K paying. I'm good with subscription-only for Yupdates but I bet it's going to affect traction

@IanColdwater @ChristianSelig some jerks came along and pushed them all into the fire 😞

I knew it had millions of users, but didn't realize Google Reader had hit over 30 million. A shame that is still a "rounding error" at Google. theverge.com/23778253/googl…

@fortworthchris Worse pet peeve is when people call themselves entrepreneurs but they were only ever hired as part of a founding team or after series A, etc., not taking any personal risk.

A pet peeve: Someone is a small LP in a business and goes around telling people they "own the business".

@AllenHeltonDev is that a small/hobby farm or a huge, terrible place 😬

Who would attend my talk at reinvent if it was called "The similarities of serverless architectures and chicken farming"?

"Moving to Hpc7g offers up to 70% better performance and almost 3x better price-performance compared to the previous generation AWS Graviton instances for compute-intensive workloads. They also consume up to 60% less energy for the same work" aws.amazon.com/blogs/hpc/appl…

Separating services out is not guaranteed to be the wrong design or anything, but identifying externalities and where complexity is shifting to will lead to better decisions. twitter.com/seancribbs/sta…

@adamhjk @patrickdebois how about New Wave devops?

@patrickdebois Better than devops 2.0! :)

Second wave of devops

An aspect of participating in the FOSS ecosystem that I struggle with a lot is dealing with the excessive entitlement people who have barely commited anything to contribute to the commons and how they use it against the people doing the work.

@nathanmarz @redplanetlabs Will most people read that much? (I will, in this case) Would it be better to introduce concepts one by one?

Working on an epic blog post for the @redplanetlabs launch – already at 10k words and have a lot more to write. This is the most important thing I've ever written and I'm excited to share it.

Speaking of CAPTCHA, I added @Cloudflare Turnstile to yupdates.com/try/ Now there's no email needed to check it out. Had a good experience setting up Turnstile. The fact that for most people it's completed automated is a big plus. No crosswalk puzzles to solve, etc.

@lucperkins Even with curated following choices, it isn’t that great. I’ve been a fan of private lists for a long time: fewer people per list and topic specific.

I have an alt account that I use to see what a more “default” Twitter experience is like at any given point in time and it’s really hard to convey how impossibly stupid that world is

We're extremely excited to introduce the Magic Nix Cache, a GitHub Action that will dramatically speed up your Nix workflow runs with a single line of YAML. No signup, SaaS membership, or additional Nix config required. determinate.systems/posts/magic-ni…

@lusis all the problems it helps with are still flourishing 😒
