Infrastructure, devops, and security geek. My views are my own, retweets≠endorsement, and all that. Also at

In celebration of @RedHat Summit week, @misterbisson shows how @Docker Desktop and @RedHat @openshift work together to simplify the development of #kubernetes apps for #developers.

The fact that we continue to debate rollbacks means the lessons of devops still aren’t evenly distributed 10 to 15 years later.

@mipsytipsy is on point here in 2023, but so is this post from 2017: https://t.co/Tw3Uen7WFC

[Charity Majors @mipsytipsy]

This is an objection to my tweets about feature flags, decoupling releases from deploys and autodeploys, but..I don't think it makes the point you think it makes.

Rolling back past multiple deploys is a bad scene no matter what, but auto deploys aren't the bad guy here.

[Casey Bisson @misterbisson]

@adamhjk @bravelyjake @solomonstre @starbuxman Yes, and from the #ContainerPilot perspective, it was easier to make the application aware of operational concerns than it was to make the infrastructure aware of application-specific operational concerns.

[Casey Bisson @misterbisson]

I love seeing references to #ContainerPilot, and this whole thread speaks to the goals of the #AutopilotPattern.

There are many ways to solve most problems. The interface between devs and infrastructure keeps changing because there's still opportunity for a better fit.

[Adam Jacob @adamhjk]

@starbuxman Joyent's "copilot" and Chef's "habitat" are two examples of working in this direction (habitat goes further than copilot did - essentially building a smart packaging/build system to take a bunch of the load off the supervisor)

[Casey Bisson @misterbisson]

Thank you to the @doppler crew for being fabulous hosts, and @snyksec and @stepzen_dev for sponsoring!

[Doppler @doppler]

Last night we hosted @misterbisson and @devseccon in San Francisco to talk about "Solving the other half of the code security problem". 🌁

Thank you to @snyksec, @stepzen_dev, and @rdegges for creating a great community and everyone who stopped by!

[Docker @Docker]

Whether or not you prefer tabs or spaces (no judgement here 👀), Fridays are for #developer party tricks! Director of Solution Engineering @misterbisson demos how to run cross-platform containers in #dockerdesktop using the 𝚍𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝 command. ⤵️

@superic @DrewTumaABC7 What weather tracker are you using?

The @Docker turnaround story has been phenomenal to watch over the past few years.

From $12M to $100M ARR in 1 year 🤯

h/t @arjunsethi for the public memo / reflections

So, getting on board with Mastodon over here: https://t.co/GIIAQEFUZ1

Where’s everybody else at?

[Casey Bisson @misterbisson]

This thread about how customer trust remains steady until it falls apart is absolutely on point.

@garius is talking about established services, but small paper cuts can add up to kill user confidence and trust before they even get on board as customers.

[John Bull @garius]

One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone.

So, with everything going on at Twitter rn, time for a thread about the Trust Thermocline /1

[Tanya Janca | Shehackspurple @shehackspurple]

With all the layoffs happening I want to start a bunch of threads for who is hiring. I will do one-a-day. Today's is PRODUCT MANAGEMENT. Who's looking to hire a product manager? Who's looking to be hired into that role? Let's connect!

I'm just throwing this out to the Twittersphere. We have almost 200 RSVPs for our female founder event on the 2nd & have way exceeded our max cap for the current event locale. If anyone has space for 200 phenomenal women in tech on 11-2, please LMK

@tomwillfixit There was once a time we’d blog about successes and failures.

Agree with you: just writing out the story is part of the learning experience.

[Casey Bisson @misterbisson]

@superic @dokas I kinda want them all

[Casey Bisson @misterbisson]

This was bugging me all last week:

What absolutely brilliant PR flack at Meta placed this story about gifs being dead just a week before the company was ordered to sell the ultimate gif platform?

This whole thread is such a great outline of the frustrations people feel when all they see is the solution without context and alignment on the user, problem, and goal.

PM leadership is about empowering the entire team to prioritize every detail in alignment with those goals.

[Andy Budd @andybudd]

However PMs are much more likely to do the synthesis themselves and pass on solutions. Often because it’s seen as their job to come up with, prioritise and manage the back-log. So why wouldn’t they?

[Gary Lansdale @GRLansdale]

@johncutlefish Context is one of the most undervalued resources. People who have got it normally make an unconscious assumption that everyone has the same starting point.

As someone who has just started a new role, I wish more of the how we got here was written down.
