Every time GitHub has an outage our team is paged. Incidents at Vercel get automatically filed by anomaly detection systems.
We just detected an outage 16 minutes before their status page changed. Deployments suddenly dipped and surged.
Despite all the chatter about coding AGI, the reality is that software infrastructure remains an extremely hard problem.
I have no doubt the GitHub team is highly competent, and there's no shortage of models and agents available to them. Don't forget this is the company that brought us Copilot, the first major breakthrough product in AI coding. Yet clearly the prompt "/goal scale GitHub, make everything extremely fast, make no mistakes" is not enough.
The hard parts of software remain very hard, especially under unprecedented demand, as more people join in on the fun of building new things.
I swear do you guys just all write simple applications or something? Because AI is failing me. It absolutely sucks at distributed state management. I have gotten into this complete mess and now I have got to manually clean it up.
without googling, i still cannot figure out how to copy and paste on a mac into:
1. the provided Terminal app (which sucks)
2. Ghostty.
C-V does nothing, C-v goes into escape insertion (expected).
I refuse to google this and it should just be obvious...

Many organizations struggle to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters.
For example,
You might have separate clusters for dev, stage, and prod.
If you want to deploy something like a Prometheus stack to each cluster, you usually need to switch kubeconfig contexts and deploy it one by one.
Instead, you can use Clusternet, an open-source CNCF project, to manage all your Kubernetes clusters from a single host cluster.
Clusternet can manage:
- regular Kubernetes clusters
- managed clusters
- on-prem clusters
- edge clusters
In the host cluster, you set up a hub and register the clusters you want to manage as child clusters.
Once registered, you can use the API server of the host cluster to deploy apps and perform operations across all those other clusters.

Have you used Clusternet in your setup?

Her name was Anarcha Westcott. You won’t find her in history books, but her suffering shaped modern medicine. Anarcha was just 17 years old; she was enslaved and had just given birth.
The birth left her body torn and wounded. She was in agony, bleeding, and in desperate need of care. Instead of receiving care, Anarcha was taken to a doctor, not to help her but to use her. His name was Dr. J. Marion Sims.
Today, some call him the father of modern gynecology. He didn’t see Anarcha as a girl or as a human being. He saw her as an experiment. He performed over 30 surgeries on her without anesthesia, without her consent, and without mercy. She screamed through every cut. Her body was opened again and again. Her pain was ignored because she was a slave.
Her body became the foundation for tools, techniques, and procedures used in gynecology to this day. He became famous. Hospitals were named after him. Statues were built in his honor. But Anarcha? She was forgotten. No recognition. No statue. Not even justice. Her name deserves to be known. Her voice deserves to be heard. This is her story, and we’re finally telling it.
Troubleshooting a challenging bug can be rewarding. When you can consistently reproduce the bug you are close to understanding it. When the bug is fully understood the solution emerges.
The bug is just a behavior, it just happens to be an undesirable one.
I’ve typed and deleted so many words to try to describe the pain, anger, and guilt. Just read his.
We will miss you Anas. We bear witness to your sacrifice and against your murderer.
May Allah have mercy on you and reunite you with all the pure souls before you.
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
When I get a full night's of sleep I can think so much more clearly, I can focus for so much longer, I can get so much more done. To the point where it might not even be worth doing deep work if I'm sleep deprived
