The question most engineering leaders aren't asking: is our product, harness and/or developers token guzzlers?

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

Every engineer tests the happy path. Great engineers build for the crappy path.

@clintsharp After this summer's FRA adventures I'm not traveling thru it again ... good luck!!

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

@cfrln Yup! In a customer env we saw full html pages, base64 encoded screenshots, db dumps ...

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

How's telemetry different than application or business data?

Devs dropping 10MB+ fields in logs!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️Good luck loading that data in database or any analytics store ... forget about querying or displaying them as results

@petterik_ It has been there before AI too - primarily in PR reviews. Where discussion revolves around the author's chosen solution, or some nits rather than judging the entirety of solution. Now that's moving a step earlier in the sdlc ...

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

Starting to see an interesting pattern with use of AI, even among the very senior engineers: anchoring bias. Let me explain - AI proposes a solution, after which the discussion revolves around fixing/optimizing that solution rather than judging it in its entirety.

Just heard the saddest story of the #Crowdstrike debacle. Transplant surgeries not happening at a major hospital and a few organs, hearts, kidneys etc being thrown away .. people wait for years on the transplant list, only for some poorly tested upgrade to ruin their hopes 😞

A few years back, @a16z wrote a blog post about cloud workload repatriation. We're bringing back our software build/test pipelines and seeing massive performance gains (blog post coming soon). What workloads have you seen successfully move back?

Yesterday I got referred to as "the second most famous Albanian CTO in the Bay Area" Never thought the #OpenAI drama would hit this close, thanks @miramurati 😜

Be Unstoppable.

At the end of the day, the person who never stops is the person who figures it out.

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

Every now and then I receive Slack messages that should be emails ... from now on I'll refer to them as a slamail 😀

Here at Cribl, we believe interoperability is good for customers and OCSF advances that mission in a material way. We’re proud to be a part of this effort and ensure customers can focus on protecting their enterprise, as opposed to fighting with data.

[Cribl @cribl_io]

When vendors cooperate together to serve customers, great things happen! We’re committed to the #OCSF format because it’s what’s best for customers. An open format ensures customers are able to focus on threat hunting and incident response! https://t.co/WRqAF5k38E

Conferences: the finals of the corporate world. Urgency, cramming, learning, endless caffeine and a party when done 😀

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

Many know of RTFM. For any tech company UTFP is way more important: Use The Fucking Product

23 lies you've been told about the world:

@CNBCClosingBell @sequoia @gradypb @SBF_FTX Very well said @gradypb !!

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

@leonjza @cribl_io Thanks taking AppScope for spin! Primarily because eBPF would require higher privileges, but also not being widely available.

[Ledion Bitincka @ledbit]

Look at lagging indicators and you'll be reacting. Focus on leading indicators and you'll be proactive!
