Credit where credit is due, the private preview GitHub Code Coverage is looking pretty good.

Dependency cooldown is a no-brainer RIGHT? In reality it's a big mess of game theory and second order effects yet to be fully explored.

​The managed decay of GitHub Actions is giving off strong Internet Explorer vibes. #embraceextendextinguish

We should replace Terraform/OpenTofu with a tool that embraces "drift" and manages click ops as a first class pattern, instead of pretending it never happens. IaC tools should treat unmanaged changes like Jujitsu (jj) treats conflicts, tracking but not blocking. #platformengineering #iac

Just because it's not showing up at www.githubstatus.com doesn't mean @github.com aren't having an outage.

A picture is worth 99.9 words. How's that @github.com migration from bare metal to Azure going? via Alex on Mastodon techhub.social/@ironicbadge...

Back in Amsterdam for KubeCon, I don't remember the massive queue at passport control last time!?

Day off; no GitHub, no Slack. Still ended up on Cloudflare buying a domain for my @bsky.app handle and configuring DNS.

It's pretty ironic that @github.com, one of the big AI boosters, has become significantly less reliable while extolling the benefits and value of AI! If AI was so transformative wouldn't we expect GitHub to exemplify this!?

Is anyone else finding GitHub unusable recently? Last week every click needed to be repeated. This week the PR interface is completely unusable with any quantity of changes (description and files views). #reactnoreact

New years prediction; the charge for self-hosted @github.com actions runners will be the biggest step forward in security posture for 2026! #githubactions #security

This is the best @fafo.fm episode for a while, really enjoyed the storytelling format.

Well this is horrifying @github.com! Maybe make Copilot support secure development practices rather than allow it to arbitrarily bypass checks!? github.blog/changelog/20...

Gradually working my way through the Oxide and Friends back catalogue and every time I think I've gone far enough I realise the content is still relevant and fresh!

On the train to Edinburgh for @kcduk.bsky.social and the train WiFi is clearly showing solidarity with us-east-1!

Turned off Adaptive Battery in Android 16 due to missing notifications and have much more battery left at the end of the day! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Candidate for best news headline of the year, I did actually laugh out loud. Bravo @theregister.com!

Maybe @github.com could provide an ergonomic way to escape actions variables instead of requiring that all user input pollutes the environment!? github.blog/security/vul...

What's with the emerging trend of OSS projects dropping stable releases!? Sounds like a rug-pull tactic that doesn't belong in a foundation like the @cncf.io!?

I know I'm late to the game, but this is such a great visualization (and explanation) of game theory. Thanks HN! ncase.me/trust/

Kubernetes v1.33: Octarine-

I'm going to call it early; my top session of #KubeCon was "Container Runtimes... on Lockdown: The Hidden Costs of Multi-tenant Workloads"! Take a bow @denhamparry.bsky.social & Caleb Woodbine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇿

Up early and on the train to London for @cncf.io #kubecon.

Just booked my early bird KubeCon EU 2025 ticket.
