After threatening to pave my daily driver and put #bluefin on it for a month, I finally did it this morning.

People keep asking me why. I don’t I have a great answer, but an OS that separates the dependency concerns of the apps from those of the OS should make for a much more stable upgrade path in the future.

I wonder how many of the people who worked over the 48hr period to get AWS back up recently are being laid off.

I am not trying to be mean, but there is a lesson about loyalty in this.

@UkiahSmith doesn’t “pub use” make this a non-issue? Otherwise I don’t understand.

I see a lot of keyboard warriors out there, but few with the true courage to do something truly difficult. If you want to do more than just larp as the main character of your own movie, get out there and do something truly challenging... like writing a Rust macro.

This old meme has been going around for years, but in the aftermath of the AWS outage there has been some pushback on-line about it. And that's a good thing, because it is likely that people new to the industry are not in on the joke and might take the meme more literally.

This meme was never about DNS being unreliable, but about the nature of troubleshooting issues in that DNS is so reliable many of us assume we have set it up correctly and overlook our mistakes with DNS when looking for root causes.

It is unfortunate, but way too many people function off of received opinion, and AI is likely making that worse. FWIW, I did once work with an operations manager who insisted we hardcode IP addresses because DNS used UDP and UDP was "unreliable".

If I didn't have a billion things to do today, I'd be paving my NixOS system for Bluefin.

We have a lot of really cool CLI tools these days, but few have changed my workflow in such a way as Atuin. No there is Atuin desktop.
