Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

you used to spend a day messing with your neovim config, feel self conscious, then get back to work
now people are spending weeks on some hyper customized coding agent workflow that definitely is worse than vanilla but they can talk about it like they're ahead of the game
Happy to announce a new #sloth release!
🎨New built-in web UI that will be able to auto-discover Sloth SLOs by connecting to a Prometheus instance.
☸️K8s transform plugins: Use other #k8s objects as the #SLO outputs (e.g GCP prom).

I'm usually not one to write thought pieces without much technical depth. But here we go.
Slow the fuck down.

It has never been a good idea to ship everything you can think of or someone asks for.
Each feature adds a complexity, each change comes with a cognitive cost
Dropped the phrase "product slop" today in a call — when teams can ship so much more at 100x the speed, the risk of bloated, feature-dense but unfocused experiences quickly becomes a concern. "More things faster" is rarely a recipe for excellence.
When it takes weeks to ship, you justify every feature.
When it takes hours, you ship everything. Why not? It feels like progress and momentum, right?
When the cost to build something was higher, and took more time, the need to justify the build and ensure it was oriented to mission and incrementally valuable (aka the *right thing* to build) helped mitigate this. With the cost and time effectively dropping to zero (I can code a complete product feature tonight after dinner) — everything changes about how we build high-quality products. Judgement and taste become the constraint.
Unsurprisingly, I believe design plays an even more critical role in this new world than ever.
Big news for Sloth! 🦥
The latest Sloth release is out 🚀 and now you will be able to use Sloth logic as a #go library.
Meaning that you can embed sloth in your apps to generate the SLOs.
sloth.dev
#golang #k8s #SRE #SLO #reliability #prometheus #observability
Sloth #Prometheus #SLO generator is back on track. After the SLO plugins, next the #Sloth #Go library 🚀
As an experiment, did a fast PoC using the Sloth Go lib with WASM and we have a live editor that runs 100% in browser.

Hola @o2es, llevo 3 reclamaciones (teléfono y correo), 2 citas fallidas con técnicos que no aparecen. Estoy aún sin instalación de fibra. Necesito internet para trabajar. Este será mi último intento. ¿Podéis ayudarme de verdad esta vez?
A new kube-code-generator release!
This one adds support for generating #go code for #kubernetes CR "Apply Configurations"!
These can be used for server-side apply in #controllers and operators.

UX is everywhere, is not only about visual #UI.
Often, dev/infra focuses on performance, features... and forget about the #UX.
Because of the UX, some time ago I rewrote my kube-code-generator project (Generates #Kubernetes CRD manifests and #Go clients easily). Example:
In Spain every kid had one (or thousands 😂) of these erasers…
I just made a coaster for 3D printing based on the Milan 430 eraser, a small piece of spanish history.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
[More details to follow]
It’s awesome how the new frontend technologies are fixing the mess that react and friends have done. @golang + @htmx_org +@Alpine_JS it’s a killer combination of simplicity and productivity. I’m happy that we went back to what worked >10 years ago and evolved from there again.

Briefly, I want to address the issue of who is to blame. Easy — the people behind the attack. Lasse, the maintainer of xz, was the target of a patient intelligence campaign that invested more resources into subverting him than anyone invested into his project.

And given the xz situation an unmaintained library beats one that has been maintained by a bad actor. xitter.gq/mitsuhiko/status/17725…
