It was difficult to resist sneaking a link to @QuinnyPig's sentiment that multi-cloud is mostly an act of wasting time and money.
I doubt that stance has changed, but we agree!

There are three certainties in life:
death, taxes, and outages.
Blame isn't.
The October 20th outage in us-east-1 was a timely reminder of the role we play in critical infrastructure.
I wrote up the deep dive from the @cloudsmith side, and it lines up with @GergelyOrosz’s take:
1. Take responsibility.
2. Build for failure.
3. Don't punch down.

The @caddyserver download page has tracked more than 36 million downloads since v2. (That's a lot of rows in our DB!)
Approaching a billion Docker pulls.
~2 million GitHub asset downloads.
175 million downloads from @Cloudsmith.
Not even sure of other distribution methods.

Hot take:
Stop using the Kafka Consumer in your apps.
It is hard to build with and we have much better options now.

My @Google colleague and longtime @UCBerkeley faculty member David Patterson has a great essay out in this month's Communications of the ACM (@TheOfficialACM):🎉
"Life Lessons from the First Half-Century of My Career
Sharing 16 life lessons, and nine magic words."
I saw an early draft when it was only 10 lessons 😀. The lessons are generally useful to people in a wide variety of fields, not just CS.

This is such an awesome, optimistic overview of what is happening in the clean energy world. As a way of saving the world, people overrate activism and underrate engineering. rmi.org/wp-content/uploads/d…

It takes seconds to go for a monolith. It takes years to revert that decision. Most of the time is spent in denial mode.
