I've just updated all of my Prometheus monitoring trainings at training.promlabs.com to Prometheus v3 and also updated most other component versions (Alertmanager, exporters, Prometheus Operator, SDKs, ...) to keep things fresh. Check out the trainings if you want to learn @prometheus.io :)

Epic discussion around @golang.org error handling: github.com/golang/go/di... Adventurous ideas. Ofc there might something to improve, but the following image is still applicable: 🙈

We see more and more questions/responses on GitHub issues on OSS projects clearly generated with the help of GenAI - very generic, asking kind of unrelated questions. Quite hard to judge what part contributor exactly does not understand and how to help. Do you experience similar? Any tips? (:

Looks like @golang.org 1.24 is going to be pretty epic! Weak pointers, properly working finalizers alone might change the game! Then optimized maps, native fake clock, benchmarking reliability and ease of use, and tooling dependency management.. and more! antonz.org/go-1-24/

With Filip we wrote a blog post explaining the new @golang.org 1.23 "iter" package and its unexpected use case in the Go gRPC world and @thanos.io We also dive into Go coroutines (not goroutines!) that makes new iterators even more special, enjoy! 🤗 bwplotka.dev/2025/go-grpc...

Coding AIs are great, but sometimes it feels good to use the old-school regex replacements you can trust without review 🙈

Finally, an OpaqueAPI is officially coming to Go, with exciting lazy decoding and optimized memory layout! Now you know why the new API was necessary with that gogo migration friction 🙈 Let us know how it goes for you, it massively improved efficiency internally (lots of fields are never accessed)

Solid OpenAI post-mortem on @kubernetes.io API overload, caused by "per-node telemetry ingestion" status.openai.com/incidents/ct... 🤔 Oddly familiar to a common DaemonSet @prometheus.io / @opentelemetry.io gotcha for metrics scrapes, we talked about in the past: youtu.be/yk2aaAyxgKw?... 🙈

What do you think about @gitpod.io moving out of @kubernetes.io towards microVMS? (: The benefit of easier self-deploy, more isolation and memory snapshots are legit. www.gitpod.io/blog/we-are-...

I just accidently posted something on 1k Slack channel instead of DM...and it was fine. 🙃 This is due to one rule I stick around comms: Everything can be leaked, by accident or purpose. So be transparent, don't do politics or say things you would not be proud of if exposed later on, even in DMs!
