Check out the new blog I put together with @robertjscott.ca about what's going on with the Ingress NGINX Controller retirement and why you should take this opportunity to shift toward using Gateway API to manage Ingress for your Kubernetes Workloads!

In "doing things that don't scale" news, I noticed that my newsletter open rate was down over the past few months to about 40-45%, and I tried a very manual thing to increase it: I asked for help?? Anyway, it worked, and now it's in the mid-50s again ✨ cassidoo.co/post/do-not-...

"Performance engineering isn't about making things fast, it's about making them predictably fast", using percentiles not averages, designing for tail behaviour, feedback loops, and the ability to observe. "Predictability is not the goal, stability is." —Jacinta Richardson, #everythingopen #eo2026

AI is technology. Technology has tradeoffs, has human use and security implications, has good use cases and bad. Needs tests. I am neither all hype nor all critic, we need a responsible middle ground because it’s here, and it’s not going away.

I think I have finally managed to articulate this very fundamental but slightly counterintuitive fact about how shell redirection works
when you redirect, the shell opens the file BEFORE the program starts

sudo echo blah > file.txt

first I'll open file.txt...

THEN I'll run sudo echo blah

this is why file.txt isn't opened as root!

I didn't know anything about the new User Namespaces feature until I started learning about the 1.33 release. It's an interesting feature for security that enables you to make use of user namespace isolation at the Linux level in a way you couldn't before in Kubernetes.
