I've seen a lot of complaints about how MCP isn't ready for the enterprise. I agree, although maybe not for the reasons you think. But don't worry, this isn't just a rant! I believe we can fix it! The …

Hi!! What’s up!! I’ve been laid off from GitHub, so if I don’t respond to your emails, it’s FINALLY not my fault 😘 sorry in advance. The past 5 years were an honor and a joy, because wow, OSS maintainers are a kind bunch. Grateful I got to run one last Maintainer Summit before leaving 💓

basshunter was so good

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Cats wearing bras on their heads with the soundtrack of the “habemus papam” announcement is a TikTok trend. The internet will not be defeated.

I’m wearing overalls today, and my husband looked at me and said, “Have fun on your shift at the Mushroom Kingdom.” 😂 https://media.tenor.com/vsPZuwYB5JYAAAAC/first-of-all-how-dare-you-rupaul.gif?hh=280&ww=498

Ever wished that Renovate increased that Chart version number in your Helm chart if the appVersion changes? Or maybe you wanted to bump the version number even though a dependency changed, which is not a direct dependency? Well, it can now!

I think it's one of my better release titles, tbh

My friend @rileybruce.bsky.social took this picture of me playing in bubbles at the May Day Parade, in case you needed some joy on your timeline today

I’ve said this elsewhere, but using AI now is basically the equivalent of using an Ouija board. It’s a word-guessing machine that tells you what you want to hear. Enjoy it if you like, but don’t start thinking it’s REAL [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Today at 10am PT - we're streaming 'What Maintainers need to know about Open Source Licensing, SBOMs, and Security' for #maintainermonth Come listen to my expert colleague Jeff, who looks at a project's license first while the rest of us are still reading the bio ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hbkfKAl4hk

Go 1.24 new "tool" directive.

Reading some of the more unctuous trolls on HN, I think they might have an opportunity for a sidehustle: I would gladly engage them to apply to @oxide.computer just so we can make sure that we successfully don't hire them, pentesting for asshole vulns in our hiring process.

🤣 Gopherbot, can Ron come on @fallthrough.fm and chat with us about all things Go, TinyGo, and whatever else Ron wants to chat about?

Go method receivers should just default to `self`. I should be able to do the following. func (Person) Name() string { return self.Name } If need to change the receiver name I can just use the existing syntax. func (p Person) Name() string { return p.Name } Don't @ me. You're wrong!

Reflecting on how our compensation model is going

"Copyleft obligations for thee, not for me." I don't want to teach others this strategy, because I care about the social movement more than helping companies bend it in service of their needs. From a community PoV, I think it was bad when MySQL started it, and it's bad now. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

So now both Redis and Elastic are open source again, under the AGPL. Yay! When we teach folks how to do this in the future, we need to start by explaining how copyleft can work for a business. In both these cases, they're using copyright assignment to ensure they don't have to abide by the AGPL.

feels like i'm lifting weights with my brain but in a bad way where remembering words and processing sentences i hear from people takes like 2-4x as long as normal feels like my brain is stuck in context switch hell and so i've got latency penalties across the board, this really sucks

That’s autistic burnout, friend. Please take care

@bcantrill.bsky.social just mentioned on the @oxide.computer podcast that K8s wanted to leave the CNCF 👀👀 I need to hear more about how that played out

Celebrating a small win: I went from consistently failing "project deep dive" interviews with hiring managers to succeeding at them. The solution? Preparing several STAR-organized stories (And asking my ex eng manager to help me remember some details 🙈)

Margaret Thatcher apparently slept for only four hours a day. Interestingly, if I sleep for four hours a day, I find I am also in favour of policies that make everyone suffer.

Not usually a fad guy but I'm pretty stoked about "vibe coding".

"It depends" is an overused phrase that people should rarely use as an argument.

Going over what makes incident.io special after my first year as VP of Engineering.

There is no question I’m becoming more of a copyleft person with every passing day.

The kat is out of the bag! I start a very exciting new role next week that you'll all hear about Monday. Come celebrate with me if you're going to be at RSA, and thanks to @redmonk.com for the VERY sweet note in the newsletter!

Y'all be slacking. Where's the AI parody song to the tune of "Because I Got High"? Here I'll help you start. Builds are failing today, because of AI I deployed it anyway, because of AI Production just went down, and I know why (why man?) 'Cause of AI Because of AI Because of AI

An exploration of web security mechanisms and their unexpected consequences

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Meet a hot guy on an app says he’s in “intelligence” so he doesn’t have social media. image search him, find out his real name, and gf, and all his hidden accounts. He was in the CIA. I’m not Rihanna I don’t like the way you lie dude. I added him on LinkedIn after just to be petty 😂

Open source projects that change their licenses to prevent big companies from strip mining OSS get unfairly criticized @microsoft.com forking and rebranding the work of Spegel is just another example that big companies dont ❤️ anything but profits https://philiplaine.com/posts/getting-forked-by-microsoft/

Three years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. This limited our ability to scale up the cluster as we depended on critical images from that registry. After this incident, I started thinking about a better way to avoid these scalability issues. A solution that did not need a stateful component and required minimal operational oversight. This is where the idea for Spegel came from.

It’s a recurring question on gopher slack and discord: «How should I set up my go project repository?». Unfortunately, there are a lot of both outdated and o...

Go 1.24 introduced a new tool directive but it has one major problem.

I have three bottles of champagne set aside. One for her, one for the oligarch, and one for the dictator. And I intend to live to drink all three.
