I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
One really "silent" trend that very, very few people talk about (because it only impacts Head of Infra type folks): a CPU shortage that's becoming more apparent for mid-sized and above companies.
It's not dramatic, just harder to reserve the CPUs you want with cloud providers apparently as well
we had an incident because we migrated traffic to a brand new s3 bucket.
our millions of servers instantly crushed the new bucket’s partitions and started getting slammed with 5xx errors

I ❤️Lucene.
Like so many times before (real time search, doc values, bm25, bkd, compressions, …), we are actively investing in making Apache Lucene also a great Vector Database https://t.co/nWmx492Vpu
TL;DR CVE-2023-21930 seems to be about TLS truncation attacks against TLS1.3

@ask_progressive I’ll send a DM but let’s just say this is multiple levels of problems. Already called his supervisor and asked for a new rep. She returned the call a few days later and rudely asked if he had addressed my concerns while ignoring the complaints we had and leaving it with him.
I'm over @progressive. Insured by them for 15 years and the claim rep has tried to intimidate us multiple times with no recourse. It is sad because the claim is on someone else's policy so they treat us terribly to try to avoid paying.
Well this is awkward: TWTR board hired Goldman to "advise" it that the @elonmusk $54.20 offer is too low. Only problem: Goldman has a SELL rating with a $30 price target. Oops.
@lucacavanna Same. People forget/ignore that there are still young children who have no protection in terms of a vaccine, aren’t able to understand the importance of wearing a mask and why others aren’t wearing one. Selfishness and politics prevails in the US
