I've used #Docker for 10+ years and I thought I knew how image layers work. Then I asked one innocent question: if layers are just tar archives stacked on top of each other, how can a layer DELETE a file from a previous one? 🧵 loige.co/hidden-desig...

Well I am doing a bit of a thing over here! shippingbytes.com/2026/09/21/b... I am going to commercially support Tinkerbell, an oss bare metal provisioning! If you are building your own datacenter or you need help modernizing it I am here! #datacenter #pop #baremetal #cloud #oss #onprem
30% of deployments on Vercel are now agent-initiated. Six months ago that was zero. Your pipeline wasn't designed for this traffic shape. Neither was your on-call rotation. shippingbytes.com/2026/07/17/3...
We are moving to #Berlin for 6 months with out little 2y old! Feedback are more than welcome! Currently trying to recover from a first round searching for an apartment via wunderflats.com 💥💸🤣

I wrote about the hidden cost of “vibe coding.” AI makes it easy to generate working software fast. But someone still has to: * maintain it * debug it * secure it * understand it months later A demo is not the same thing as a sustainable system. shippingbytes.com/2026/05/07/v...

The post by mitchellh gave me the final push to finish my GitHub "obituary". I originally started writing it after the Zig to Codeberg move. It's just a retelling of how I remember OpenSource pre GitHub and what it gave us. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/28/be...
This is good for the internet. Centralization is not what we deserve mitchellh.com/writing/ghos... hope more people will have the same epiphany for other part of the contribution lifecycle like instance messages for example.

Most arguments about AI-generated code are talking past each other. Robby Russell asks "does it work?" often yes. Paul Stack asks "does it keep working?" that's where vibe coding breaks down. Both are right. They're just answering different questions. New post shippingbytes.com/2026/04/22/d...

I caught up with Matt Klein, one of the famed developers behind the Envoy Proxy, and had a chat about AI and why the hype machine has gone too far. I think the industry is putting machines over people and the tradeoff leans too far in the rent seeker's favor.
🎙️New episode of Beyond the Noise! Matt Klein brings on Kelsey Hightower. Kelsey talks through what AI is doing to developer salaries, what he tells junior engineers wondering if they picked the wrong field, and why open source is the only realistic check on what's being built today: buff.ly/VUD6ktX

Registry like Maven here are in a very weird spot. They are at a very critical spot into the delivery and development process and they also have real costs associated to it. Something that is unusual for OSS www.theregister.com/2026/03/25/o... But...
