@threepointone @Carcraftz You stumbled onto anti-reading-comprehension Twitter

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@beyang In fact, for a use-case I have now, remediating a ton of deepsec (or other security issue aggregator) findings is a really good exemplar? Not just doing the work in parallel but verifying it.

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@beyang This is what the explainer blog post should have been, to me it seemed like the crux. I don't think it'd be that hard to spell-out a few worktrees vs orbs scenarios explicitly to illustrate the benefit.

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@thdxr Can we call this OpenOrbs just to rustle some jimmies?

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@beyang @thorstenball @toolmantim How do you operate on social media if some balls memes convinces you the need to write this kind of post? That's utterly bizarre.

I do intend to try orbs at some point. I don't personally feel a huge pain point yet, and the blog post explaining them felt lacking to me fwiw.

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@EricTopol It isn't a term for that specifically. It refers to a containment mechanism. By analogy this is like complaining 'cardiac insult' is completely inappropriate to describe a heart attack.

@cnakazawa Nvm I wasn't following 😅

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@cnakazawa Idk how many I've seen/missed in the feed. Having visited profile: I follow plenty of engineers with a photography hobby. If I see a holiday-like photo my brain just skips the text (I'm usually looking for tech content). It seems many of your posts have these.

@rauchg @dok2001 @OpenRouter Genuine ask: why do you think broadcasting a perplexing latency comparison, even if it is sourced from a customer, is good marketing?

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@dok2001 @Cloudflare I'll settle for r2 object versioning tho

@jhicks154 @SidChatterjee @nbbaier @rustforjsdev Also curious how these refunds were handled 'a long time ago', but not for 3/3 in this thread. Leaning towards 'these get refunded if and only if you harass enough on https://t.co/FWSVwcrExZ'. @PaddleHQ maybe you could help @SidChatterjee :).

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@sqs There are write permissions of these I would never grant because agents don't unwind the principles behind infra-as-code. I'm not sure this question is specific enough because service-by-service risk differs, and these CLIs' surface area is massive.

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@sidchatterjee @nbbaier @rustforjsdev @jhicks154 Guessing your refund wasn't processed @nbbaier?

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@sidchatterjee @nbbaier @rustforjsdev @jhicks154 How's that investigation going?

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@boristane Interested!

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@sidchatterjee @nbbaier @rustforjsdev @jhicks154 As of when? I have no record of a refund in either bank (form roughly nov 2024 onwards) or email from paddle, can certainly find the original receipt from 2021 though.

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@sidchatterjee @nbbaier @rustforjsdev @jhicks154 You need to refund these Sid. It's wild to take 800 pre-orders and then just not do anything.

[Alex @awebofbrown]

@nurodev @MattieTK @Cloudflare Thanks Ben!
