65,000 attendees, four days, and a booth game that has to survive the moment a keynote ends. 🎤 @MartinDotNet: Every Player Gets a VM: Prepping Battleships for re:Invent Scale 👉 meetup.com/awsuguk/events/31… #AWS #AWSCommunity #Serverless #Lambda

I sat down with @samnewman to talk about his keynote for o11yday next month in London. We talked about taste, and how coding agents can acquire it. Along with the impact of software factories on engineering practices. It should be a great talk. Register: go.hny.co/4fil6Fx

On episode 93 of @o11ycast, Ken Rimple and Martin Thwaites (@MartinDotNet) join Mike Goldsmith (@mike_goldsmith) of @honeycombio for a deep dive into telemetry cost control and the OpenTelemetry Collector. They explore the tradeoffs between logs, metrics, and traces, along with new tools for intelligently filtering, routing, aggregating, and sampling observability data. Mike also explains how dynamic sampling can retain rare and meaningful traces without requiring teams to keep everything. hubs.ly/Q04wjw3j0

Rewriting it in PHP was definitely a good idea, totally, that was definitely the right choice.

Chatting with @QuinnyPig the other day "It's actually really hard to run up a big DynamoDB bill" "Challenge accepted..." Apparently if I re-architect our booth game to use Lambda to "save money on EKS", re:invent will cost us $25k in DynamoDB costs to run it.

Here's my claim: #dotnet now has the best cross-platform 2D graphics stack in the world. Not the best "for #dotnet" The best. Full stop. ImageSharp. Drawing. Fonts. Tell me what beats it.

If github went paid today, no more new free repos that you can share, github action minutes slashed to something mostly non-existent, would the ai-slop-prs stop? Would the countless ai-slop oss projects with no maintenance plan stop? Would anthropic setup a git hosting platform?

Watch Nigel Farage openly say we should privatise the NHS and move to an insurance-based system instead. He really couldn’t care less about you or your health.
