Here's what I actually think these incidents reveal (instead of a rogue AI terminator situation): Much of the infra we expect to be hardened is actually being held together by glue and popsicle sticks.

I love this framing, but in reality we treat developers of our internal platforms like users, and not customers, because most enterprise developers cannot behave as customers, and are forced to use whatever the platform engineering team gives them.

They’re not trying to stand up for anybody. They’re trying to marginalize the many who for too long have been left out. I’m proud to have seen and supported many from all backgrounds on the pathway to success. I’m sad they are trying to close the door to progress for so many of us.

Missouri's Aug. 4 primary election will include several high-profile constitutional amendments for voters to decide. In late May, Gov. Mike Kehoe placed four ballot questions on the August primary ballot. Here's a breakdown of each.

Missouri has 4 amendments on the August 2026 ballot. Here's what they would do

In the Aug. 4 primary election, Missouri voters can weigh in on Amendments 1, 2, 4 and 5. The proposals cover parks funding, election of tax assessors, how things get on a statewide ballot and the elimination of the state income tax.

When I started my latest job at Stacklok I had a lot of learning and catching up to do. One thing that annoyed and confused me is that we all seem to have a different idea of what an AI "agent" is. Here is my thinking on one way to break this down. joe.dev/posts/nine-k...

I counted nine kinds of agents

The word "agent" is doing too much work. A rough map helps.

Can you please post updates to some other platform that isn't nazi infested, child pornography generating, and is openly accessible?
I don't care if it's mastodon, Bluesky, or RSS. I can't read your status updates on a website that requires a login and refuse to support X's as revenue.

LLM as an essential tool is a hard sell, but LLM as a tool I'll happily use for the price of free is an easy sell. To me, this means we will absolutely be getting ads in all ai tools, and then it'll be back to a race between the providers and ad blocking, which will lead to less usage.

When kubernetes clusters are built using kubeadm, there is a 5 year ticking time bomb on the self signed CA for the cluster. The more well known 1 year on the api certificates is easily repairable if missed. The 5 year CA is hard to rotate preemptively and disgustingly hard to rotate if you forget.

Just got followed by bots, we have roughly 1-2 years left before Bluesky devolves to pre-musk Twitter where all replies are functionally useless due to the sheer amount of simulated noise. (post-musk Twitter is still terrible compared to this)

Congratulations to the Eagles! Chiefs are still on an absolutely amazing run, no team has ever done what the chiefs have done in the last 7 years. As a young boy, I watched the chiefs playoffs losses over and over. Still so amazed we made it to a superbowl on my lifetime. let alone win 3!
