I disagree: ops is related to dev, because good dev work makes ops easy. But they are different: being good at ops requires a mindset of curiosity, risk management, and being willing to chase things to to last details.

Devops definitely still exists, I've seen it. It is when people are responsible, even in the middle of the night, for the systems they fucked up engineering in the day.

TLAs and eTLAs.

The same understanding most of the devs lack because they aren't.... curious. And thus, why they aren't SREs.

'Tis the season.

My family just switched to sunrise simulation alarm clock lights, and I'll start squirting vitamin D in my coffee milk soon.

In Europe, winter darkness is a bitch. Don't take chances with your health.

Must be convenient to get all your security bugs from one vendor...

Given this keeps happening in Spain, maybe we'll need to call this "Normalization of normalization of deviance".

Humans never learn.

Yes, I don't even work on especially security sensitive stuff, and I've twice in the last month had a task interrupted by GPT Sol for "security reasons".

But my agent makes it super easy to switch to DeekSeek and just carry on.

It probably takes nine months to get one ready to pop off...

Smoking and AI maximalists are uncool.

Thanks Wayne.

It's like a pelican on a bicycle, but with social commentary.

Yes. The dashboard that grabs some data out of other systems is vibe coded. The design was mine, to make it safe to let the AI go wild on the rest. Places where authentication, durable state, un-reversible actions are concerned: the AI can sketch it, then you gotta own it, with perhaps help from the AI to improve tests or refactor.

...maybe stop doing crimes?

Service providers are still responsible to police what happens on their network. KYC already makes it very difficult to get service completely anonymously with only crypto changing "hands".
