Met Gala as monitoring and observability solutions, a 🧵.
Kim Kardashian as Datadog.
Requires investment to get into. Takes active upkeep. Generally worth it, but there are gaps (and the occasional malfunction). Not an easy situation to get out of.

I am sick and tired of Republicans attacking trans kids for just living their lives.
Whether it’s banning gender-affirming care or spewing hateful rhetoric, Republicans’ non-stop attacks on trans youth are wrong—we’ve got to fight back to #ProtectTransKids.

I mean, it's a microservice, Michael, how much work could it do? One RPC?

I threw together some thoughts on how Democrats are often unfairly accused of being responsible for things. Since they're not very good at defending themselves, I thought I'd step in and speak up for them. Feel free to pass around.

I've generated over $1 billion in sales using ONE strategy.
Used it in every recession - 2000, 2009, and 2020.
I've never shared it publicly before.

Platform engineering teams bring a product development process to infrastructure, and a design/UX ethos to developer ergonomics.
Their job is to provide patterns and golden paths that make the right thing easy and the wrong things harder.

i don't often boost @mipsytipsy's content (it feels weirdly incestuous/self-serving? despite being wildly different people)
but everything in this post is gold + rings so damn true for this particular dev 🙋♀️ who's spent time wailing in despair at oncall honeycomb.io/blog/future-ops…

"infrastructure as product" 😍
aka: reliability, availability, facilitating speedy releases of new cool shit.
what a way to capture the *why [they] do this*

Everyone in our product and tech teams are expected to speak with customers - so that we learn and validate assumptions before we build.
Our Research team made some flashcards for the teams to practice the nuances of customer interviews! Love it.

Your sexuality isn't determined by a book you read in Kindergarten. It's determined the way God intended -- by watching Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.
