Efficiency = fire half the SREs ?

Nice one Urs.

One of the only things Google has going for it is reliability of major services. Probably not the thing you want to risk.

Maybe instead you can kill Google WiFi, Google Fi, Google Pay, and countless other cost centers. There’s probably also a lot of front end designers you should fire.

I sense this Apple positivity in the news cycle will fade next week when the earnings report comes out.

See presenter notes

This is a step in the right direction for equitable pay.

Ideally would include full compensation be posted though, stocks, etc.

I fear someone will take this project seriously.

In 8-12 months EKSA will either be very successful or will die, because it’s up against incumbent on-prem k8s so teams will either quickly see the benefits or it’ll quickly be dismissed as useless.

The target market seems to be infrastructure admins who have on-prem VMs and an AWS account and don’t like running their own K8s clusters. No idea what that market looks like in terms of size or interest in something like this, but I’m sure AWS did their homework.

Title needs to append “... unless you have a Tesla”

There’s nothing preventing you from using Pulumi with GitOps, in fact it’s an encouraged pattern.

Dislike authors writing style.

Here’s an excerpt with bad grammar:

— If you’re struggling to picture what clear writing looks like, buy a copy of the Financial Times or The Economist. Pay attention to the way articles their are written, to the word choices and sentence structures. —-

Ironic

Because trucks are more dangerous than cars.

> After a brief pause, he added: "I guess the biggest problem I have is that many of our most ambitious products are the ones we can't talk about and so it's a bit of a sales challenge to tell somebody, 'Come and work on the most ambitious thing ever but I can't tell you what it is.'"

JG, I don’t think that’s your “biggest problem” - Siri is. Your privacy centric on-device strategy limits your view of user feedback, Google gets a lot of shit wrong but they know how to transmit user data and understand their feedback.

5th gen and still beta.

I rented a Tesla Model S from Enterprise recently and learned they don’t enable Autopilot due to liability issues.

I don’t think I agree with your premise that Apple should allow employees to moonlight and poach their talent.

These are all just basic principles of being a working professional, if any of this is non-obvious you have a culture problem not a code review problem.

Gotta keep a cool head, T.

So the days of “Splunk for logs and X for monitoring” will change to “Splunk for logs and monitoring”

Title should be adjusted to end with “by activist short sellers”

He’s been using the same IP address for his mail server for 15 years. It’s possible his IP is on a subnet range that regularly gets blacklisted by Gmail due to other actors on the subnet sending malicious email/spam to Gmail.

I don't understand why people think this is useful. ASCII art is probably the most low resolution way of visualizing something that should be as high resolution as possible.

TLDR: devops not in ('IT', 'SRE', 'IT Ops')

If this guy were Russian there would be stories about the KGB infiltrating Wall St, but because he’s Canadian he’s just running a “knowledge community.”

Supplier error, QA error

Try Time Machine

Seeya

Is it “Kache” because Levandowski still has a cache of trade secrets from Waymo to use here illegally?

Or Kache like “I need some cash” because Waymo sued him out of the Uber job and now he’s broke?

Ohh Kache like the Chinese word for truck. Got it.

"engineers its own downfall"

Hyperbole much? TLDR the new MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't repair as well as the old keyboard:

-- In our eyes, the new design was a repairability flop. We downgraded Apple from a seven-out-of-ten to a two. --

We're calling this a downfall now? I feel like we just got trolled.

They aren’t moving to “the Cloud” as in AWS or Azure, they’re just moving to bigger/faster/better Gov-owned data center(s). Business as usual.

I’m not sure how this logic holds up. Airplanes are a safety issue, should their software be open sourced?

I’m not sure what they can do to keep up with the Nomad or Treo.
