Great story from Fidelity on migrating from Terraform to OpenTofu. Sounds pretty reasonable. youtu.be/2FQQOIEgZmU

“Agentic DevOps” may well trigger the buzzword singularity.

Looking forward to this one. At the end of the day, CI tools just aren't CD tools. Several toolmakers have started in prod and worked reasonably successfully back toward CI. Nobody starts in build and ends up with a good, secure CD. webinars.techstronglearning.com/why-are-you-...

In physics, velocity is a vector. It is speed in a direction. For a software team, it should be the same. It matters that you get a lot done AND that you get the RIGHT things done. Most teams try to measure their output. It’s harder to measure if they’re going in the right direction.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

This is perfectly on-brand for everyone involved. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Free tier gone from Terraform’s pay as you go. IBM gonna IBM. www.reddit.com/r/Terraform/...

Man... GitHub Actions is the new Jenkins. Lots of folks trying it for a few years, then realizing that they are in scripting in hell, plugin hell and everything is slow and then moving on. Hey... Jenkins was been amazingly successfully successful... so congratulations?

It’s just a toggle - how hard could it be? This misconception about DIY Feature Flags has led many engineering teams down a path that ultimately results in technical debt, resource drain, and operational challenges. www.harness.io/resources/th...

Unpopular opinion: Developers are some of the most demanding customers to please with developer tools, and are one of the hardest business to make a profit in. When we feel something is a ripoff... we'll build ourselves/migrate/adopt a new tool. Often out of spite!

Good job IBM! Pleased for my former coworkers as earnings and all that are up and to the right. Seems like Arvind is the real deal.

ShipTalk podcast is looking for engineering leaders as guests for upcoming episodes. We rotate hosts, I'm looking forward to hosting for the first time. #shiptalk #harness #softwareDelivery

30 years old now… but a treasured “historic artifact.” One day your the leading trade rag for BBSes the next you are reporting on the replacement for your market niche. It’s important to see it and face it.

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order to end the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship to babies born on American soil, dealing the president his first setback as he attempts to upend U.S. immigration laws. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. DevOps is a team.

I know SoftBank has done some good stuff but when I hear about their involvement in a poorly defined $500 billion project my mind goes to “the guys who funded WeWork?”

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Nice article from the Gruntwork team on OpenTofu and Terraform a year in: blog.gruntwork.io/make-the-swi...

I don’t know which developers need to hear this but if your “CI” build takes more than 10 minutes, you deserve better. You’re worth it. Don’t put up with that shit.

"How many workflows that might plausibly be using @github.com actions/cache could a user have, Michael? Ten dollars worth?"

Back from a wild trip up to the artic (Yellowknife) where we did some northern lights chasing. Cold but awesome. Colors are mostly on-camera only - but shape and movement of the aurora were very cool to see unfold.

🚀 OpenTofu v1.9.0-rc2 is out! Key features: 🤘 for_each in provider configs ✨exclude planning option Your feedback is invaluable, so test it now: github.com/opentofu/ope... ⚠️ Not for production use 💪Help us make v1.9.0 rock-solid!

Finished prep with @realgenekim.bsky.social for our (his) closing keynote, "AI & DevEx: From Promise to Reality," at @harnessio.bsky.social upcoming Software Delivery Summit! I'm excited. Should be a great conversation about the impact of AI on developers in our daily work and as a profession.

Feeling bad... After being a clean for a month and a half, four days ago I posted over on the bird site. Time to get serious about bsky. Here we go. 4 days clean.
