starting to question my whole belief system centered around the idea that the wealthy are automatically good at anything they try

Where cars are allowed, by default their number will increase to the point where driving is barely tolerable. Renderings of the future never acknowledge this. Those with cars are always sprinkled with a civilized number of them, like no actual place in the world.

Serious question: why does this company still exist?

Do you ever feel that some cities are just more alive than others? It's probably because they're "mixed-use". This is a simple idea, but it changes everything...

Hey! My team is hiring: global-redhat.icims.com/jobs/95814/pri… If you're interested, let me know so I can get you a referral link. Location is listed as Germany, but of course we're flexible so don't let that stop you if you live somewhere else.

Anti-imposter syndrome: if you see this super polished design document, you can be sure it is the result of many many messy iterations in private gdocs or on office whiteboards and informal discussions beforehand. No non-trivial idea is born in this polished state. It’s hard work

So the website survived a day on the front page of HN (I think it peaked at #5). Looks like 70k+ visitors, which is way more than I would have guessed. Hopefully one or more of them learned something that will help in their career. If so it was well worth the $0.27 cost to host.

Great advice for junior (and senior!) people on any team from @zerobanana, tho the article focuses on software engineering zerobanana.com/essays/living-…

My team has been working on a new installation method for #OpenShift Meet The New Agent-Based OpenShift Installer cloud.redhat.com/blog/meet-the-…

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stop comparing yourself to more-senior engineers, because they are living in the future: zerobanana.com/essays/living-…

#Technocracy appears to offer solutions to difficult, complex problems, but “those who care about good policy, no less than those who care about deep democracy or public citizenship, should hesitate to take the technocrat’s bait,” cautions Matthew Cole. bostonreview.net/articles/whats…

As noted by @chrisjrn, Tiobe's current article about Pycon staying in the #1 spot in their rankings is "Python is going through the roof". Aside: when I (Carina) tried googling for it, this is the terrifying series of other headlines I get. #KiwiPyCon

I’m excited about kcp because it promises to extend the “k8s as universal control plane” concept that is already fast becoming a reality to the kind of multi-tenant cloud services some of us were trying to offer with OpenStack.

Having unfettered access to 400 million guns isn’t freedom. Being able to take your kid to a Fourth of July parade without getting slaughtered is freedom.

Kubernetes control plane is becoming the common language whether it's a large cluster or managing a few processes on a single node. I don't think the latter case is getting much attention.
