This is completely not okay, and we can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. The recent days have been horrific.

EBS celebrated it's 16th birthday earlier this week and next week I'll celebrate my 13th anniversary at AWS. I took some time to reflect on our journey from humble beginnings to what we are today. I hope you enjoy! https://t.co/9ufTXAbBqg

@coffee_puck @eatonphil @Nate75Sanders “just use ext4 configured in a way that seems to sometimes work” was the other nope option I saw in my travels

Recalling a time I was doing one of those coding interviews where you to use your own tools and share your screen. I opened VSCode and it had open my Advent of Code stuff and my code for day 21. An accident, but no doubt this positively biased the interviewers.

Really excited I can finally talk about how we use Antithesis' deterministic simulation to test not only WarpStream, but our entire SaaS!

Initially thought this was a weird pre-print of @whereistanya’s next book. It’s AI scam spam. https://t.co/C5mafZrcNX

(thanks @bgporter for implanting 'sharp knives' in my programming language vocabulary. 😁)

[David Grant @rubeware]

I love Go, but this is a good example of why Go isn't in the Very Sharp Knives drawer. https://t.co/DzGNbxHQWs
