    I'm excited to share a project that I've been working on: a brand-new version of @mozilla's SSL Configuration Generator: ssl-config.mozilla.org Configuring TLS is perhaps the most complicated and error-prone of all IT tasks, and this tries to make it as easy as possible.

    At 1.4¢/GB, did you know that it would take only 70 8GB videos per month to make Twitter Blue a money losing proposition?

    I'm not paid six figures as an engineer at @Twitter because I've memorized obscure DNS commands. I'm paid it because I know when to look something up, know how to do it, and can recognize safe and correct answers. And I'm senior because I can explain that information to others.

    Pretty incredible that Google is trying to get away with blaming macroeconomic conditions for their layoffs, when over the last year they’ve spend 57.36B on stock buybacks. That’s enough to support the 12,000 laid off engineers at their median engineer compensation for 23 years.

    Elon Musk has banned the Cyanide and Happiness guy in an attempt to be the funniest person on @twitter, not realizing that he’ll have to ban another 220 million users before he can claim that crown.

    Hackers (1995): We have to use a HUGE number, so let's say that Zero Cool crashed 1507 servers in a single day. DevOps engineers (2021): Sorry about crashing 1507 servers, I accidentally pushed a bad config to Github.
