Thank you. So many people on twitter suggesting that it’s all his fault for letting AI run with no checks but actually he’s an idiot for not properly managing his IaC state

Just updating my calendar and Shrove Tuesday 🥞, Lunar New Year 🧧, and the start of Ramadan 🌙 are all set to fall on the same day this year (February 17th), which feels pretty special.

Same with Google docs. I’m sure @cassidoo.co did a video suggesting using different shades of background for this as well

Screenshot of a post by the user I’m replying to that suggests that they didn’t read their own post.

You did

Web page unavailable because people are too lazy to work out how to stay consistent with the UK online safety act

What the hell happened for it to be unavailable?

Round my way they used to use plastic bags for the body and head - maybe since you can’t get them anymore, bags for life just don’t work as well?

That’s a film I’d watch

Zachary Cook bio card for speaking about Pulumi and Platform Engineering at PulumiUP 2025. Tuesday, May 6th, 9AM ET / 4PM PT / 2 PM (UTC +1)

I'm speaking at #PulumiUP 2025! 🚀Join us for a virtual event packed with real-world platform engineering / #DevOps stories, expert discussions, and technical demos.

Excited to share #cloud and #platformengineering stories! Join us for expert sessions, live demos, IaC, and #CloudSecurity lessons.

Works great as a CV builder? People think they need it to be “web scale” or “cloud agnostic”?

Admittedly the second is partially correct in that it’s more cloud agnostic than managed services.

What’s the difference between being over for business and working remotely whilst you’re there?

Integration testing for Pulumi programs with LocalStack & Automation API Learn how to use LocalStack and Pulumi's Automation API to run integration tests for your cloud infrastructure on your local machine.

🚀 You can run Pulumi Automation API tests locally using LocalStack!

This allows you to test your Pulumi IaC programs locally, with which you can:

✅ Get instant dev feedback
✅ Remove flaky integration tests
✅ Avoid deploying resources to AWS

Pulumi's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is out!

Spin up cloud infra straight from any LLM-based MCP client, including Claude, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more 🛠

In this video, we create IaC in Python and spin up a Kubernetes cluster in AWS with 1-sentence prompt 💥

The username of the poster threw me for a second. I was trying to work out what’s a famous three minute long doctor who scene before actually realising what was happening

We can upload 3 minute videos now.

YOU KNOW THE RULE

less than five hundred years ago even the most powerful monarch was at the mercy of childhood disease and weather. now we can do literal concrete things about both and are in fact actively choosing to die of childhood disease and weather

I wonder how much of that is the useful stuff in powershell has been around for a while and is well before any cut off date for the AI models

What do folks here think? I suspect that the mindset on bluesky is a bit different from X (report for reach please)

Even if this is a joke, this is the reason I’ve avoided using an AI tool in my IDE or for coding in general. I’m worried I’m not going to learn new things

I posted this on the other place and I’m interested in seeing the responses to the folks here for comparison:

In response to someone saying that that they’re too lazy to look stuff up and they’re getting to the point where they’re using Cursor and not even reading the responses, I wrote:

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

A diagram labelled pride versioning A version number of 2.7.123 is shown A line pointing to the 2 describes it as “proud version, bump when you are proud of the release” A line pointing to the 7 calls it “default version. Just normal/okay releases” A line pointing to the 123 calls it the “shame versions. bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit”

It’s not wrong

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Check go mods as well if you use that kind of thing - even if you don’t write go but use “go install” for some software

If you are not fully aware of the downsides of using Kubernetes and accept them as necessary due to your organization's scale, then you do not need Kubernetes and should instead use a managed container service.

I think we could all learn something here
