I randomly wandered into a dumpling shop I’ve never heard of next to SFSU and, well I think I’ve found my favorite xiaolongbao in the city. It’s better than all the more famous ones!!

It’s called Mom Dumpling in park Merced. They make their own dumpling dough AND noodles. The crab and pork xlb is especially good, almost as good as the good ones I’ve had in Taiwan and Shanghai

It's always a delightful surprise to come across posts from folks with familiar names when looking something up. I wanted to get a comparison of Kyverno vs Open Policy Agent Gatekeeper and came across this awesome comment by longtime Kubernetes security nerd, @raesene: https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/comments/u5tcfd/comment/i56i5ta/

Looking through this list of libraries for working with JWTs, it seems that the highest-quality ones assume that keys are managed directly, instead of using a Vault, Cloud KMS, etc. to sign. This is true for Python and Go libraries at least. Why is that? https://jwt.io/libraries

Humans shape technology and technology shapes us. Beyond the drama of change, there lie great opportunities for humanity.

"It follows that whenever we gain a new talent, we not only change our bodily capacities, we change the world. The ocean extends an invitation to the swimmer that it withholds from the person who has never learned to swim. With every skill we master, the world reshapes itself to reveal greater possibilities."

Very few software projects are successful over long periods of time. I think one explanation is that it is very challenging to evolve systems in ways that respect the needs of new users ("better" approaches to things, temptation to make backwards-incompatible changes) and existing users (backwards-compatibility is a virtue.)

In this respect, I think about these talks often:

A great preface to a great article:

"The naive approach to securing software is to blindly implement a checklist of security features. But a deeper understanding of security will quickly uncover that perfect security is impossible; you have to make trade-offs and prioritize the most likely scenarios."

"The enshittification of the services we once loved and still rely on represents a series of victories for the forces of evil over the forces of good – a victory for the people who want to use the internet to trap us, over the people who want to use the internet to set us free.

As it got harder for users to leave online services, it got easier to abuse users."

It has always been my suspicion that, when everything shakes out, it’ll be an innovation like this that is the most impactful vis a vis climate change, etc.

Some slate of nearly invisible (to rank and file) developments.

As engineers, it's easy for us to measure inputs (how much time we're spending) and outputs (lines of code written or features produced), but what really matters are the business outcomes (customers acquired and retained, revenue growth metrics, profitability), which are less directly related.

It's always useful for us to step back and ask ourselves: what's the point?

Do you ever learn something so cursed that you regret having learned it?

I really enjoy learning, but sometimes when I get to the other side of it, I'm left even more confused than when I began.

Reading this while reflecting on "big rewrite" type projects in software is, well, ouch:

"His seminal work on big projects can be distilled into three pitiful numbers:

• 47.9% are delivered on budget.
• 8.5% are delivered on budget and on time.
• 0.5% are delivered on budget, on time and with the projected benefits."

I think the solution is simple, but not easy: smaller, more frequent deliveries. Progress over perfection.

I often get weirdly obsessed about things, and spend an inordinate amount of time trying to learn how it works. I appreciate the kindred spirits that are the same way, and share their findings.

I listened to Jon "gzip enthusiast" Johnson's recent podcast. That nickname is not a joke. I learned a lot about gzip, DEFLATE, LZ77, SOCI, and stargz. I don't know what I'll ever do with this information, but I enjoyed it.
