@ArloSmartHome why does your software keep asking me to enable 2FA when it’s already enabled?

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

Strong agree with this tweet. Learning Azure after 2 years of GCP and many more of AWS. They are on a pretty interesting path.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Any complaint you have about @Azure is going to look pretty silly in five years. This is a long term play that's going to yield dividends.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

There is no talent shortage; people with the skills you're asking for don't want to work for you at the price you're paying with the processes you have.

Very exciting news to share hot off the press! This morning we became the APN Consulting Partner of the Year in Australia and NZ for 2020. Thank you to our clients, the #AWS team and our awesome AWS specialists for your ongoing support! Read more → https://t.co/Nxfv5u6L9h

@joneaves feels like the only reliable way to mark time in this crazy year of 2020. “oh hey, guess i’ve been working here for 2 years now”.

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

Only just found out about @Fastmail sub domain alias feature for all email addresses, but now it’s one of my favorite features.

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

It never occurred to me that’s why it’s a #.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Ancient sysadmin wisdom: don’t use ‘>’ as part of your shell prompt. You’re one copy/paste error away from truncating a file.

There’s a reason root’s ‘#’ prompt gets interpreted as a comment.

@ctudball I was thinking that the other day, might actually have to go and buy a tshirt one day soon! 🙀

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

@JamesTeach @CaseyBriggs yep, they can turn them around in 45mins in certain circumstances such as someone going into hospital for non-covid related reasons.

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

@TheresaNeate Mainly two things I suspect, existing relationship / investment in MS ecosystem. As well as all the security issues they have had, hasn’t done their reputation in enterprise any favors.

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

@kcollasarundell @QuinnyPig I’m guessing because it has a bill?

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

“Honeycode! It’s an app for people who can’t code. Y’know, like your honey! Who is probably a woman, right bro?”

How on earth is @awscloud so flabbergastingly bad at this so consistently?

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

@delfick @QuinnyPig @awscloud I was referring to “managed” ones.

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

@delfick @QuinnyPig @awscloud Totally down with that if it means less reasons to spin up a Kubernetes cluster.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

BREAKING: Your mental models, as @awscloud Lambda can now mount EFS for persistent shared storage. https://t.co/1ISt6raLOA

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

@s_mcleod yep not so much capability (although I have opinions) but more that I wish people think about their dependencies more and how it effects what they are building.

[Peter Hall @peterkh]

them: we have this new monitoring service we’d like your team to use

me: ok, what SLOs do you have for the service?

them: oh we leverage another teams platform, not sure if they have any defined, but it’s very reliable

me: ... ok thanks, great demo, we’ll see how we go.
