Wake up, babe, new ACRL goofy promo video just dropped!

Ever wondered how you pronounce skctl, or why we have so many ctls in the first place? This video will tell you why.

Come chat with us at KubeCon in Atlanta! cal.com/drmorr/kubecon

You can make up for it by watching it here! New video dropping tomorrow :D

Nobody is born a great engineer. Great engineers are forged in the fires of experience -- year after year of compounding challenges and opportunities.

Does your org frustrate the pursuit of greatness, or unlock and accelerate it? For whom?

And then yes: shipping is the mechanics of learning.

"If there is a single non-negotiable truth in Charity’s worldview, it’s this: shipping is how engineers learn. Not architecture diagrams. Not months of planning. Not 400-comment design docs. Shipping."

I'm looking for a qr code generator. Preferably one that is easy to use and doesn't embed a whole bunch of tracking or malware shit into the generated code. I assume this is "most of them" and I should just "pick one" but I'm having analysis paralysis. Halp?

We interrupt this regularly-scheduled simkube content to tell you something obvious about Google calendaring that still took several hours for me to understand.

If you have a Google account your calendar isn't private
I’m taking a break from SimKube to talk about my other favorite subject, scheduling.

Python: oh we've supported async for over a decade, it works well and is easy to use

Python devs: async? Huh? What's that? Doesn't the GIL prevent that?
drmorr.appliedcomputing.io
drmorr @drmorr.appliedcomputing.io · 14d
C++: sorry, async will be stuck in the standards committee for the next decade, and will only get compiler support the decade after that

C++ standards committee: just use io_uring, you fucking imbecile

Go: the entire point and purpose of the language is to make it easy for normies to do async

Also go: AHAHAHAHAHAHA fuck you

Rust: async is a half baked language feature that was bolted on after the fact and barely works

Also rust: literally every library under the sun imports tokio

Various languages and async programming:

Javascript: async is amazing, you can do things efficiently

Also javascript: why would anyone want to run things concurrently?

I read a book recently about AI (I won't name it because I don't want to dogpile on the authors, but you probably know which one) that suggested that the best way to address all of the real, deep, nuanced concerns about modern AI is to.... make fun of the people using it.

I'm like..... what???

Nice article.

"Monitoring, security management, and cost governance don't scale linearly with your infrastructure. They scale chaotically."

"Most production incidents in Kubernetes aren't rare edge cases, they're preventable misconfigurations."

Beyond Adoption: What It Takes to Scale Kubernetes | Devtron
Kubernetes adoption is solved, with ~93% of organizations now using it in production. But scaling creates a paradox: success breeds exponential complexity in costs, security, and operations. The path ...

In today's blog post, I talk about how you can use SimKube to do cost analysis and forecasting, something I've said is possible for a while, but I've never actually shown how to do it. I also show a brief teaser of how to integrate KubeCost and SimKube!

Recently, I’ve had a number of folks ask for some more details about how SimKube can be used to predict or forecast your Kubernetes expenditures, and I realized that I’ve said you can do this several ...

** no really, I literally just typed `docker logs www-simkube |& grep "GET /\?utm_source=" | awk '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq | wc -l`. I am a professional.

Well my new advertising campaign is live! Using the _extremely_ precise method of grepping my webserver's output logs**, I can tell that it has resulted in 59 unique people* visiting my web sight.

Anyways go read @cassidoo.co's newsletter, it's great!
