Remember: I’ve moved. Please follow my other account.

I need your help! I am removing this did:plc and migrating to my own did:web on Cloudflare. Removing as much of the centralised crap of atproto as I can. Can y’all please share and follow @rawkode.dev instead of this account?

Why isn’t there an ATProto app that can just let me subscribe directly to people’s repos and cut out all the AppView centralised bullshit? I think I’m leaning back to ActivityPub these days, I’m definitely using BlueSky less and less.

I really wish live streaming applications would support Firefox. Does anyone know what the gap is here? Why isn't Firefox supported? Still WebRTC stuff?

Anyone else just really tired, all the damn time? Like, with everything?

🎙️ Episode 3 of the DevRel Activity Patterns podcast is live! We dig into the Technical Support Pattern — the work nobody puts on their resume but everyone ends up doing. Developers are watching whether you follow through. Trust lives and dies there. devrelpatterns.com/videos/ep-03...

Oh, great. Now I'm writing my own Git Forge. It's just for me, it's not for anyone else. Personal software is my favourite thing about AI

Talos 1.13 came out today and tomorrow I'm going to walk through some of the new features and do a live cluster upgrade www.youtube.com/live/yoXcJBo...

Kubernetes v1.36: User Namespaces in Kubernetes are finally GA-

@jimmy.zelinskie.com I forget, did I show you this?

I forgot how persistent the emails can be after #KubeCon.

Shoutout to the awesome @samwho.dev, who’s Bloom Filters article continues to deliver for me, month after month. I’m always reviewing it to remind myself how they work 😅

Damn it. Followed you damn YouTube advice that said a chest can access ALL storage boxes in a house. Turns out it’s limited to 4 Pokopia time wasted 😭

I finally got around to writing up my tips and recommendations on making the most out of #KubeCon. If this is going to be your first KubeCon do take a read and let me know what you think. If you're a vetran attendee - did I miss anything that you'd recommend? marcusnoble.co.uk/2026-03-17-k...

How did I have no idea that CEO of DeepMind was a developer on Theme Hospital, Black & White, and Republic: the Revolution ? Smacked right in my childhood with that knowledge!

Why is nobody talking about Pokopia? It’s freaking good 😅

Who will I see at KubeCon in a little over a week? Yes, surprised myself that I’m going too. The things I do to meet all the best people.

I'm very fortunate that I have some wonderful and amazing people around me, such as @icepuma.dev. He's built an awesome website for sharing Kubernetes and Cloud Native news, rawkode.news, that anyone can subscribe to via RSS or just visit the website and get the latest.

Book 👍 www.oreilly.com/library/view...

Finally :) First module of my Rust course at the @rawkode.academy is out rawkode.academy/courses/rust... Thanks @steveklabnik.com for the material about "the history of Rust" - I've linked it in the module :)

Live in LESS THAN AN HOUR Come learn you some jj 😄

fish as your primary shell nushell for all scripting

Have you heard all the cool kids talking about #jj and wondered how to get started? Have you tried #jj and couldn't make it stick? I've got a live stream JUST FOR YOU! Join @steveklabnik.com and I on Wednesday as we get you up to speed with everything #jj. I'm very excited for this session

> In a world of AI coding assistants, is code from external contributors actually valuable at all? Great question and the answer is no, not really. Contributions are now the ideas and discussions for the direction and experience of using software, coding can be written by robots.

What I love most about AI is the use-case for personal software. I now have a collection of Stargate themed apps for my desktop. Kree brings my most missed Linux feature to macOS, focus follows mouse. I don’t need to promote it, sell it, it doesn’t even have a logo. It’s perfect.

if it's not blindingly obvious, bags.fm + OSS is a scam - please have nothing to do with it www.seangoedecke.com/gas-and-ralph/

I haven’t deleted my Twitter account just yet, but this crypto bags scam for AI influencers is likely the tipping point. People I respected are now grifting their meme coins to fund their bullshit and it’s just too much.

Hey @thenewstack.io, want to look after the @rawkode.academy for me for a while? Needs fed 3 times a day and snores, but relatively low maintenance.

Taking a “real” job is never an easy decision, but the timing was right and the team at CoreWeave is awesome and they’re working with some of the coolest tech and biggest clusters I’ll ever see. Who could say no?

This is new

This is one of those things that feels like an improvement but is complete security theatre. Should have just started with the checksum, file names mean nothing.

What could go wrong? 😅 Medical records yolo’d into “production”

Apple Intelligence

What a year! Whether you're in the pro, anti or "meh" camps when it comes to AI, things have moved rather fast in the last 12 months. Here's a look back I pulled together for work. ainativedev.io/news/a-year-...

iOS is shit. iOS apps are amazing. Android is amazing. Android apps are shit.

I can build Cuenv in a few minutes on my local machine, but it can take nearly an hour on GHA And they want us to pay for this shit?

Meanwhile, over on X … Thanks, I think?

You better share this post, because if we don’t get enough applications this doesn’t happen and if it doesn’t happen … It’s YOUR fault 😂

Can I temp anyone to a new season of Klustered?
