A story from the Before Times:

So I’ve never tried pot. Not my thing. Nothing against it, but there isn’t any in my house.
A friend came over for a party and brought some edible cookies. Cool!

@bequinning and I basically harangued the poor guy about keeping them up high where @Quinnypiglet couldn’t get to them.
“What gives? You folks drink constantly!”

He was right! But we’d taught our toddler not to grab random drinks—it never occurred to us to teach her not to swipe cookies.
There is no moral to this story–everything went fine.

But I miss the Before Times, including friends who damned near gave me a heart attack.
I have fewer cookies now and it’s not okay.
It was predictable though. He who has a Tate’s is lost. Image

Since Google acquired DORA and then Googled the State of DevOps Report, the @puppetize version is the last State of DevOps Report standing.

A thread.

We start with @puppetize shipping its sales culture. Why do companies need to know what state you're in? So the right sales rep gets your lead obviously. Image
The cover is evocative: a hipster dude who blue himself on top of a container, a Black woman with severe jaundice, and a woman who desperately needs to invest in a seating arrangement that's less likely to kill her. Image

Since @cleancredit700 are in fact the biggest pieces of shit in our solar system, a thread on how to actually repair your credit without giving money to these predatory fucks.
It's pretty straightforward; I helped write some of it years ago:

reddit.com/r/personalfina…
"If the do-it-yourself route is not working for you, consider a reputable non-profit agency that is a member of National Foundation for Credit Counseling or the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies."

These pieces of shit are Not That.

Okay, this is as good a topic as any to do a thread on: @awscloud S3 Intelligent Tiering.

It's not the panacea you might hope it would be!
The idea is awesome; you store objects in the Intelligent Tiering storage class. As they go longer without being accessed, they get moved into first infrequent access, and then (as of today, if you enable it), into Glacier / Glacier Deep Archive. You pay less over time!
The caveats that you'll smack into here.

1. Only objects larger than 128kb are transitioned. A bunch of small objects will stay at Standard Tier pricing.

If an insider could leak me a copy of the AWS Approved bone-in ham, that would be terrific.

Thank you in advance.
“I can’t give you a copy of it; it wouldn’t be kosher.”
If I give a talk using The Ham then AWS might pressure Twitter to bánh mì.

The @LastWeekinAWS annual charity t-shirt fundraiser wrapped up yesterday. You wonderful, amazing people helped us raise $15,225 for @826National with exactly 500 shirts sold. The check is on the way, 826 folks.
I was out on parental leave for most of this. Some amazing people stepped up to help make this possible. Their work happened behind the scenes, though you clearly saw the results of it.
First, our delightful copywriter Lianna (@punchlinecopy). She's the only writer I've ever worked with where I have to say "that's HILARIOUS, but it's a bit TOO edgy." She's incredible.
