I recently built and open-sourced an Alfred Workflow to speed up GCP navigation, eliminating the need for endless clicking in Cloud Console.

@wesbos These are trivial tasks that can be performed in terminal. Always use jq Cli. It’s light weight and extremely powerful, also supports pretty printing https://t.co/JAnYl8nbzT

@RhysSullivan If you already know which GCP page you want to open, my Alfred workflow lets you jump straight to it from Spotlight, built specifically to cut out the extra clicks and reduce friction.

Full report for yesterday’s Google outage

- not feature flagging a new code path
- null pointer crashing a binary when reading empty fields from Spanner
- remediation causing a thundering herd as there was no exponential backoff
- which required manual throttling to recover from

We let down our customers at @Cloudflare today. Our Workers KV service failed and the downstream products that rely on that service had outages of their own. We will publish a full postmortem soon.

I know that these kinds of incidents have real and serious impact for teams around the world as they do their work and serve their own customers.

Beyond the specifics of this incident, the postmortem will go into detail about how we are removing this failure case. We will do everything we can to make this right going forward and I apologize for the problems caused today.

How is this happening:

GCP major outage; Cloudflare major outage… at the same time!

Never seen this before

Their infra is fully independent AFAIK

@btbytes, this might be something of interest to you.

@eatonphil We use raw SQL with sqlx and the pgx driver in production. It might seem like an anti-pattern at first, but once you get used to it, there’s no looking back, it keeps us close to SQL, avoids ORM complexity, and simplifies debugging without printing generated queries.

After more than 15 years, it's time to switch browsers. I just want Chrome but without nefarious behavior by Google.

What Chrome-based browser would you recommend on macOS?

@kpawpii @nilansaha @enesbala55 Also, I like go for small micro services with a defined domain boundary. But for monoliths go is just meh and I would go all in on Rails

[Dinesh Gowda @_dineshgowda]

@kpawpii @nilansaha @enesbala55 This is so true. I work on ruby and go at scale. One thing people don’t account is engineering cost needed to build a feature. One of the reasons people still use node, ruby at scale is the ability to ship features fast. Which will nullify what ever savings you get from infra.

@btbytes @ActivityWatchIt @obsdmd Did you check here?

[Dinesh Gowda @_dineshgowda]

@btbytes I am not aware of any Alfred workflow for @ActivityWatchIt.

But for @obsdmd I use https://t.co/6QQbTAuzrJ
It has an option to log journal entries with timestamps. I use it all the time.

I created a Go package to parse the browser, device, operating platform and bots from user agent strings. Use cases include analytics and tailored responses based on the client.
