Generally speaking, when I post advice about something in technology, it's when I believe that someone doing the opposite is perfectly reasonable. Your world is different than mine.
Advice that everyone will agree with isn't advice, it's an observation.

A few of us will be giving traditional talks, but the best part is the attendee driven conversations. Suggest a topic, share with and learn from peers!

Looking forward to actual in person interactions with actual humans! @DevOpsDaysSEA devopsdays.org/events/2024-s…
Not that I needed proof that #GenAI is used for fraud. Just had a CC compromised.

Why is it important that we don’t ignore complexity in software or see it as something that can be fixed?
This #TWInsights blog explores how we can manage complexity. Read on: thght.works/3txO140

How bad do companies want your personal data? Went into a @dsw_us store in Vegas and declined to give them a phone number or email. The person at the register called her manager and said, with me standing there, “there’s a stubborn guy refusing to give me contact info.
Since I rarely tweet and did just a fairly negative thread, something positive (except to @aspleenic who may never speak to me again).
Ikea meatballs are pretty damn good.
An example of why mega tech corporations owning everything is bad for #consumers and #privacy. It took years for @googlenest to create a web interface to their cameras after acquiring Nest. It's early access and I understand MVP, but this should never survive real competition.
Luckily they haven't shut down the old Nest web interface (yet). We were able to save a clip from the old camera using the old interface and share that with the police.
When a company is losing $US6B on $US1BN revenue on "other bets" while showing $US86B gain in selling ads, it's easy to want to invest in tinfoil hats and assume they are only into home automation to know more about what you're doing in your home.

I finally figured out the primary use case for #ChatGPT - proving the Dunning-Kruger effect.
"Accepted" #Marketing practice that annoys customers #543:
Bought something, got the first marketing email not related to my purchase about 5 minutes later.
Unsubscribed, and was informed that process will take 10 days.
Result: never buying from them again.
