Hello from #HashiConf in San Francisco. I'm here because basically every client I has uses Terraform, and I can't resist a good shitposting spree I'm here with over a thousand engineers who have the free time to spend since they're not waiting for CloudFormation deploys.

A gift of about $850,000 in server equipment to RIT’s Computer Science House was arranged by @RIT_Alumni Fred Oettinger, a staff engineer at @Wayfair. He knew that Wayfair, one the world’s largest retailers of home decor, had just what they needed. bddy.me/3QpCJFi

It’s only Kubernetes if it’s from the Kube region of Google Cloud. Otherwise it’s just sparkling over-engineering.

It’s very simple, and I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. “Regex” is pronounced with the “g” from “gif”.

I'm annoyed at all these people upset about log4j design decisions. Like logging isn't the part that developers aren't *happiest* to ignore and let someone else do? But suddenly y'all know better? Now is not the time; years ago was the time.

This is awesome. Indeed’s bug bounty program has always been incredibly impactful and this could make it even more visible!

As much as I've railed over the years about how hard it is to notify so many companies about legit security issues and breaches, this post was long overdue. krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/…
