My main branch now has holepunching implemented *inside* the QUIC stack. We've implemented the QUIC multipath draft to keep track of all the paths inside the QUIC networking stack.
CI is green and we've already punched a lots of firewalls in the real world!

If you're wondering why January often brings the largest outages - here's a common reason
The code freeze is THE time to do all the big refactors that seemed too risky to do the rest of the year. Guess when it ships... all at once 🥶

It's that time of the year... code freezes / deployment freezes will start at lots of companies. A deepdive on approaches at Big Tech; the upsides; downsides; and companies that don't do this at all:

OK, I'll start. So i have moved most of my tech stack off US bigtech. Closing down google this month. Swapped to fairphone. Moved from Digital Ocean to OVHCloud. Using open source. The thing is, with plane, penpot, and onlyoffice, if i use their cloud, i am still using AWS. Thoughts?

This is interesting on several levels.
Mostly: "AI adoption is now a leadership capability test." It is. Just not in the way he thinks.

Very interesting analysis of EU vs US productivity.
We can achieve similar outcomes in the digital space if we make it policy: less rent extraction and toxicity, better mental health, less inequality, lower emissions, happier youth, more democracy, innovation you actually want to use.

More leisure, better health outcomes, less inequality, less carbon emissions, all of which with broadly similar productivity:
The EU can be proud of its development model, and the Trumpists (and European conservatives that echo them) should keep it down a bit

Sharing this story because I see a lot of devs worried what AI means for dev jobs. Especially that AI is pretty good at coding.
Production software is still built by professionals who know how to do this - both with and without AI. And I see no signs of this changing so far.
