One of the authors/maintainers of Relisten posted that they are working on adding the Aadam Jacbos collection - https://bsky.app/profile/saewitz.com/post/3mjawvvklls2v

Strong agree. We were using Fargate nodes in our us-east-1 EKS cluster and not all of our nodes dropped, but every coredns pod did. When they came back up their age was hours older than expected, so maybe a problem between Fargate and the scheduler rendered them “up” but unable to be reached?
Either way, was surprising to us that already provisioned compute was impacted.

SEEKING WORK
Location: Washington DC and remote
I'm a software engineer specializing in building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Looking for consulting or contract work, working solo or with a team. Some previous projects:
- Built a comprehensive CI ecosystem for a 30+ app polygot environment using Jenkins, Docker and Github. Reduced test suite run time in their monolith from 25 minutes to 10.
- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events https://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-s...
- Refactored the real time auction draft system for a fantasy sports company to increase stability and support four times as many users without additional hardware.

Indeed - I've hiked almost 3k miles carrying an umbrella. Worn rain gear is a compromise between breathability and waterproofness - even if you keep the rain out, you'll sweat and it's trapped inside. Umbrellas keep rain off you, are very breathable, and double as sun protection when it's really hot. Only downside is when it's windy and rainy, so it's nice to have a poncho too.

I'm a software engineer specializing in designing and building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Currently, I'm helping clients with dev ops problems like setting up web apps to scale for 10x more traffic, profiling/optimizing slow code paths, and building analytics pipelines with AWS.
Before that, I was a principal engineer at Vox Media, and worked on some notable projects:
- Simultaneously upgraded their 81k LOC monolith to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 3.2 with no downtime http://product.voxmedia.com/2014/5/29/5759244/vox-media-ruby...
- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-sy...
- Converted all image processing to Thumbor (https://github.com/thumbor), and scaled it to resize 1.3 million images a day
