Yesterday, I attended a conference at which an influential financier shared this unpublished map. Look at it. The estimated death toll is 2-3 *billion*; the timeframe is 20-30 years (previously: 50). Segments of the elite have simply 'written off' large parts of the Global South.

With the release of our latest innovations—a new Service Map and improvements to make BubbleUp more useful and accessible than ever—we’re setting the new standard for what #observability tools should be able to do for you. @cyen shares more:bit.ly/3TAbJ82
I lost my keys.
Unit testing is "check my pockets"
Integration testing is "systematically take the whole house apart to search for the keys"
(wisdom gleaned from @TitusWinters' "Tradeoffs in the Software Workflow" ACM tech talk)

a great piece from @paulosman depicting his time as a member of our board of directors, upon being elected by his peers.

We checked the docs, and it doesn't look like there's a 'terraform observe' command.
I guess we'll just have to release a provider. Available now & verified by @HashiCorp!

Special thanks to community member @kvrhdn for getting things started!

So interesting, I've been looking for tooling around better internal technical documentation and there's just _nothing_ -- how has nobody disrupted this space?
Are stale markdown files really the best we can do?

A farmer, a fox, and a chicken need to cross the river and they only have two rapid antigen tests among them. What is the optimal testing strategy if the farmer and chicken share a household but the fox had a negative PCR on Wednesday?

ALT Image shows graph in which difficulty is on the y axis. On the x-axis, "Writing a bad draft from scratch" has a low degree of difficult, "Editing a bad draft into a good draft" has a low degree of difficult, "Producing a good draft" is the sum of bars 1 and 2, and has a moderate degree of difficulty, and finally "Writing a good draft from scratch" has a high degree of difficulty. A bar highlights the difference between "producing a good draft" and "writing a good draft from scratch" and reads "The magnitude of this difference always surprises me"
