Probably my favorite picture from bit summit last week, packed room and so many questions that I could luckily answer

I had a great time speaking at bit summit in Hamburg yesterday. Love the tech focus, no vendor booths, no sales pitches bit-summit.com

Imagine my face seeing a budget alert from AWS on my unused personal account saying my budget of 5$ was exceeded and the actual cost is 26M. That was certainly a fun way to start the Firday.

It's on to something here ...

Claude Code removing ZLS because it thinks it's broken, then adding it again to "fix" it, then removing it again because it's broken.

I have gotta rant about CloudWatch (AWS) for a moment - we have an alarm setup for 5 out of 5 datapoints where missing datapoints are treated as breaching. Now over the last days a case happened where this should have clearly triggered - we are missing 10 datapoints here. No alarm fired.

I uploaded a picture but when sharing it seems to think it's a video - when opening the link it also treats it as a video and it doesn't work Super happy to see progress on this being made and congrats to the launch!

Any #nix folks now why the magic-nix-cache-action might take so long for me? github.com/DeterminateS... I spend basically all my CI time on it now but it also varies a lot, sometimes it takes 4 minutes, sometimes 17

Screenshot of github action showing magic-nix-cache-action taking 17 minutes while the whole pipeline took 20 minutes

TIL that money can "expire" on OpenAI - I put 5$ last year while developing some small app that sends like 5 requests to it per month, I was expecting that to last an eternity - but now I found that 90% of it just expired away.

OpenAI billing page showing my money (credit as they call it) has "expired"

I started playing around with making interactive apply & review workflows and this actually works surprisingly well so far github.com/mariuskimmin... The UI is already quite slow tho even on a small apply - far from great and I don't recommend anyone to use it for production workloads yet.

Hi friends, so I have been working on setting up a self-managed Kubernetes Cluster on Hetzner as learning experience, I have been working with Kubernetes for a while now but never had to setup the network from the ground up Does this approach seem reasonable? www.reddit.com/r/hetzner/co...
