Inspired by @gabe_guerra_ launching DC systems, I went ahead and registered helsystems.xyz. If you're interested in attending or speaking, fill out the form there. If there are enough crazy systems people around here, we'll have ourselves a meetup!

So, we lost the battle to define observability. You know it, I know it. Observability was supposed to *mean* something, and in the early days, it did.
"Observability" once meant the kind of exploratory, open ended investigation our systems increasingly demand.

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

Given the cost of blocking, asynchronous code reviews, I'm surprised more teams haven't experimented with eliminating them.
What bad things would happen if you just integrated changes? Are those bad things happening already? What else could you do to avoid those problems?

Fortunately you can already use x <= y to denote the logical implication x => y… :)

I rarely explicitly accuse people of blood on their hands because of their tweets but I think wise readers know that anyone who has ever disagreed with me about anything is a murderer of orphans, nuns, and possibly (probably) 9/11 first responders.

Tiitisen listan julkaisu on hyvä alku, mutta ei riittävä. Sen jälkeen pitää julkaista lista myös niistä joiden pitäisi olla Tiitisen listalla, vaikka eivät ole.
Saisikohan Helsingistä mistään Paris-Brest-leivosta? Olisi kohta ajankohtainen kun se pyöräilytapahtuma on taas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris%…
Olisiko jollakulla linkkiä niihin Purran/käyttäjän "riikka" kirjoituksiin Scriptan vieraskirjassa? Jollakulla oli ne koottuna, mutta hukkasin linkin

In 2023, if your cave system does not have:
—crystals
—mushrooms (glowing)
—glittering serpent-gold
—military bunker of a lost civilization
—murals painted in maddening colors by inhuman hands
—the vast fossil of a god
—a computer integrated with the earth's soul
You are NGMI!
