Setting time on fire and the temptation of The Button - If you value writing by the time put into it (“thoughtfulness”), the AI stuff is going to mess with your judgements. // “Now consider all the other tasks where the final written output is important because it is a signal of the time spent on the task, and the thoughtfulness that went into it. Performance reviews. Strategic memos. College essays. Grant applications. Speeches. Comments on papers. And so much more."

7 Core Elements of an Internal Developer Platform - The reinvention of PaaS continues // The Eternal Recurrence of DevOps. To be fair, this time there’s tighter integration with CI/CD and ops doing some territory grabbing into SDLC.

The Care and Feeding of Internal Developer Platforms - Five benefits of monitoring and managing internal developer platforms are noted: improved system performance, cost reduction, scalability, enhanced security, and improved feedback loops. Achieving these benefits entails securing deployment environments, establishing system baselines, setting up alerting rules, monitoring application performance, and automating processes.

76% of respondents in our State of Kubernetes 2023 survey say they use multiple clouds - they’re multi-cloud. I look at the driving forces behind multi-cloud adoption, most notably the desire to avoid vendor lock-in.

For more insights into multi-cloud strategies, Kubernetes benefits, and the challenges being tackled by your peers, check out the VMware State of Kubernetes 2023 survey.

I like are.na - it’s fun, and not icky. Having to pay a little bit to post more than 200 items has a great filtering effect on the content.

Anyhow, I wanted to include the things I put in are.na here, on micro.blog, but finding their RSS feed is elusive.

Thanks to Fridaycat, I found how. If you look in their source code, you can see that all you have to do is append /feed/rss to the end of an are.na channel page and you get an RSS feed.

So, now, when I post something to my inbox stream on are.na, it’ll get cross posted to my blog. Fun!

Monoliths, Microservervices and Mainframes – Reflections on Amazon Prime Video’s Monolith Move - “The supposed development time difference between the two methods is not based on the technology itself, but the context in which you’re deploying it. The argument made by the table is tendentious. It’s based on comparing the worst case for ‘traditional’ application development (months of work) with the best case for ‘rapid development’ (hours of work). Similar arguments can be made for all the table’s comparisons."
