6 years ago today: A man in Wuhan, China starts feeling ill, becoming the first confirmed case of COVID-19



Sometimes, it’s hard to believe the Datadog is a 55billion public company. For reference, Cloudflare’s valuation is 67billion, and Cloudflare’s the backbone of the entire internet. Datadog needs to be a special case study, because no other monitoring company even comes close.


The problem is that the economy is already in a recession outside the AI/data center buildout space. If the economy continues to be this poor, with employers disingenuously attributing layoffs to AI, we’re guaranteed to see an anti-tech/AI backlash soon, and it won’t be pretty.

DOGE gave tech bros a free hand and they ended up doing things like cutting veterans services, gutting the national park service, and literally killing people. And in the end, DOGE didn’t even achieve anything What a colossal failure. Worse, how morally and ethically depraved.

DOGE no longer exists, lmfao

I spoke with @clattner_llvm about AI and software craftsmanship. "The question is, when things settle out, where do you as a programmer stand? Have you lost years of your own development because you’ve been spending it the wrong way?” A must read: fast.ai/posts/2025-10-…


The anatomy of a software migration of non-trivial complexity, broken down by time/effort: - code: ~10% - comprehensive testing: ~20% - operations: ~30% - client coordination + whittling away the long tail: ~40%


This entire article on how AI adoption by employees at Dropbox went from low double digits to 90% seems AI generated. Counted 15 em-dashes in total. 😅 Truly incisive and thoughtful writing is going to become an endangered art form in this AI era.

Asked ChatGPT to analyze the very long write up and come up with ASCII diagrams explaining the most recent AWS outage that took out us-east-1 in 4 diagrams … For those who don’t want to read walls of text, this might help

The detailed AWS incident report is out, and it’s worth a read - DNS records managed by 2 systems; a race condition led to regional record getting unset - EC2 lease establishment was borked as it depends on DynamoDB - fluctuating NLB health checks leading to EC2 DNS entry purges

This is the definition of politicians having strong opinions on things they don’t understand. 🙄 Breaking up AWS won’t result in more reliable cloud providers, or customers suddenly starting to implement multi-AZ and failovers.

Reading the AWS status updates, seems like what first diagnosed as a DNS resolution issue was either a red herring or an incomplete diagnosis. As hours later, a system doing health checks on the network load balancers was deemed the culprit. Full report will be fun to read.

This is right, but the primary reason tech discourse has downgraded so badly is because most of the serious accounts left/no longer post (think @mipsytipsy, @Lethain etc) The ones who post are mostly farming for engagement, or try to be edgy or are virtue-signaling to VCs.

It used to be that you built a brand on Twitter using your real name, so the incentive was to showcase your interests or your achievements. The rise of anon accounts along with how monetization works has seriously eroded this incentive, as what pays best is what provokes.
