This is exactly why the @cncf.io was created. A safe space for community and companies to come together with longitudinal guarantees of stability and fair ground rules. There are no backsies. @synadia.bsky.social? @derekcollison.bsky.social? This is not ok. www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04...

It's sad that the deportation and incarceration of venezuelans in El Salvador had to happen for the venezuelans to learn that you can't support an authoritarian regimen in another country just because it opposes your own authoritarian regimen.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I will take this opportunity to plump my favorite software interviewing process, which is: 1) give them a take home piece, and an hour or so to work on it 2) but the real "interview" is not the code you sent in, it's the conversational code review you have later with two of your prospective peers.

The best description of liberals I know is that they are like domestic cats. They see themselves as fiercely independent and despite a system they don't understand, but they totally depend on. If let alone, they will destroy it out of arrogance. That's why they are so dangerous as political actors.
