New Opus model, how are people finding it in the last 30 mins?

Diffsitter is also a good choice. Integrates must tree sitter flavours

There were a couple of slop-bots which kept appearing in the bsky.app/profile/devo... feed. I've blocked them and cleaned the feed up a little.

Unfortunate because their content was interesting - but AI generated opinions, which doesn't fit well to the feed.

Oh, well I got one point on taint bingo!

I actually used the word today as well in a none k8s context. I tainted that flaky VM!

No they literally make buttplug software 😂 But I'll be honest, kubernetes was my first guess

Interested. If you see anything please ping me with what you find.

Referring to this if you're wondering - opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/o...

Oh really? I guess it's a bit of stockholm syndrome for me 😂 Honestly I think both do "traditional observability" very well. But you're right, datadog probably does it best.

Interestingly I've noticed the OTel spec is picking up on some things which will enable other vendors to behave like datadog

I still regress to dashboards 😂 But that's out of comfort not necessity. I will say, Honeycomb has nailed the needle in the haystack searching, you really don't need dashboards (unless you count a query page as one? 🤷‍♂️)

I see dashboards as casting a wide net, it's the "I vaguely know what the problem might be" versus an SLO which is much more narrow.

Even with SLO's, you'll still have stuff you forget or don't know to cover and revert to needle in haystack searching.

Absolutely agree btw, we did an eval with Honeycomb and I got to see what Martin is referring to firsthand. But I also come from the background of LGTM stack.

Interesting! Is the source IP vaeem owned or on their docs anywhere?

At a guess, you have Veeam running in the cluster and probably have some TLS interception going on and getting spammed - hence maybe you noticing it? As to why it's got such a garbage hostname the feature branch thing is just a guess lol

Honestly the name looks like a feature branch. As to why it's hitting your cluster in particular, do you work for Veeam or use Veeam? If either of those, there's your answer. It's broken 😂

Sure! There's actually additional services which let you do basic regex based feeds yourself. It's not part of the app and is rudimentary, but it's still something usable.

I think popular feeds get monetised. You can do pinned posts etc. That's the reward for running a popular feed 😂

The cost comes from getting the post ID's. So a small VM (I use OVH cloud) is enough to process the stream. It's a simple websocket with IIRC their own ZSTD dictionary for optimal compression. There's no bandwidth overages or anything for the VM thankfully.

Processing can be regex/LLM etc.

Minimal, so the feed itself is just a skeleton endpoint, so when a request comes in, all you return is an array of post ID's. I didn't implement pagination but you can do that too 😂

Hah it's all good, very cheap VM for ingesting the data and a cloudflare subscription. I can make use of it for other things as well

Aww man I just logged into the account, considering that I might wind down the feed. But it's low maintenance and low cost so seeing this I'll keep it going 🫶

Yeah 100%. I run on a cheap VPS which then ships data to cloudflare workers and data is served off cloudflare workers too.

$5 VPS on ovh handles it with no overages on bandwidth

Yeah most the core product team lost their job at GitHub and instead they're focusing on AI. The statement doesn't exactly hide the AI part but it doesn't explicitly mention it. I'm ready to start evaluating different providers for CI. It's really annoying me how under invested it is

Call me a tool please Kelsey, it would be an honour!
I'll pop it on my resume

Most "DevOps engineers" don't actually know what DevOps or DevOps practitioning is. Probably not that hot, just inflammatory 😅

Hah that's neat! I've always wanted to do an interactive talk. I know when I get the time and lack of severely crippling anxiety to talk in front of a room of strangers that's the kind of talk I'll do. Thanks for sharing man!

Hah nice interactivity!

Some callouts for SI already. I found it okay, it was only AWS at the time I looked but hopefully it's changed?

Terraform is cool still. Without drama attached you might prefer OpenTofu the fork, but license likely doesn't matter and the features are so close it's a bit of a non starter convo.

Current: frustrated

Hah love that. Just so long as you don't explain a firewall being like a Carburetor 🤣

That's cool, please update us with how you get on! Love to celebrate the wins

Nice! What was the question you handled best and what do you think was the weakest answer?

Now I do!
