Almost 10 years after my first #writethedocs conference in Vilnius, I got the chance to attend again, this time (virtually) in Berlin. It's great to feel the good vibes from the community again!

If more developers ran Linux on their desktop, maybe they wouldn't be so petrified of running a server by themselves. We are unlearning the basics of the Internet at an alarming rate.

Switching to sending HTML over the wire instead of JSON has been eye-opening


After upgrading Gitlab runners from 16.4 to 16.6 there was only one pipeline that got broken, and I think this is big success (although I spent the whole day debugging and fixing that pipeline)


GitHub was so naïve back in the days

@odewahn quickly whipped up a README.adoc, committed it to a new repo, and pushed it to GitHub. And voila, we had a README listing all the environment variables of the GitHub server, including full db credentials, etc.



One of recent nightmares: Terraform sneaks something into plan between me running `terraform plan` and `terraform apply` and I apply the plan without noticing.


10 years ago the Google Reader app was shut down by Google. For me this app was one of the most useful and frequently used. Here’s a good article reflecting on what the app meant for the users and what has gone wrong: theverge.com/23778253/googl…
