Are there any tools to analyze database usage of a MySQL database to see if it will work well with Vitess?

Two of my former coworkers, one SRE & one SWE (although both can work across what we now call Platform Engineering stack) just started looking for a job! Both Senior+, US based. I worked directly with them 💯❤️ Let me know if you're hiring & I'd be happy to connect you.

He’s like a rational version of Tucker Carlson.
WATCH-- @chrislhayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.

Hard pass.
Excited to introduce the world’s first AI interviewer, gpt-vetting. With gpt-vetting, you can interview 100x more candidates in less time & candidates get a more enjoyable, gamified, and less biased interview experience. You define the skills you want the interview to focus on, gpt-vetting asks verbal questions, and then jumps into a coding exercise. You then review the report that includes an AI assessment of each tech stack, and a trust score. In its beta, gpt-vetting has already conducted 13,000 AI interviews, saving ~10k hours for software engineers who would otherwise be conducting technical interviews.

Yo, if you're looking for somebody that fucking SHIPS, you should hire Faun! I've seen him do amazing work both at the product layer and the orchestration layer. HIRE HIM
I got laid off from PlanetScale today. Where should I work next?

Every day on this site we have a conversation like: Mentally ill communist: Peeing on the other people at the bus stop is a legitimate form of protest Centrists: But how does that help? Leftists: Don't police him! Right wingers: I should be allowed to shoot people who pee on me

Last week, my @PlanetScale extension for @raycastapp was published! Your database was already fast, now you can manage it even faster.

At @PlanetScale we talk about scale we mean it. This cluster has over a 1 petabyte of provisioned storage.

Officially writing data to @PlanetScale for @flipper_cloud analytics and I'm pretty stoked. It brings with it a lot of the tools that I became accustomed to working at GitHub for ~$30/mo. Unreal. Can't wait to unleash these stats and send this writes graph through the roof.
