If your pricing is so complex that ChatGPT cannot tell me what it will cost you're doing something wrong.

I'm looking for someone brilliant to come run internal developer velocity (DevEx) at @buildkite with me. Come help us build faster developer loops and ship software for the frontier labs and more. If you love CI/CD and agentic software development and have a track record of high-agency dev tooling at scale organizations, look me up for a chat. job-boards.greenhouse.io/bui…

We are one of three launch partners today for Origin. Built by Cursor. Built on Buildkite. 🚀

Origin, our code hosting platform, is now live. It's fast, easy to use, and deeply integrated with Cursor. Get started by syncing your repos from GitHub.

Wow doesn't 40k: Rogue Trader feels like playing a game from 20 years ago, little a janky and OTT. Love it 🥰

The world needs a way off GitHub Actions. For the past three weeks, we’ve been building an open-source compatibility layer that runs Actions workflows natively on @buildkite without changing them. Buildkite powers CI for repos where scale is table stakes. Pipelines are dynamically programmable and parallel by default, with every job running in its own environment. Test suites that take hours - or days - on other tools can fan out and finish in minutes. Actions uses a different model: static workflows, with sequential steps sharing a mutable workspace. We now transparently compile that model into our Buildkite pipelines, so teams can keep their existing workflows and actions while gaining Buildkite’s speed at scale, control and reliability. It’s early and there are rough edges, but it's already proving useful across our design partners. If you want to start shifting workloads, give it a go: github.com/buildkite/buildki…

A week off between jobs. My ADHD requires me to take on at least one new hobby.

Today is my last day at @airwallex I'm really proud of what the Spend team has built over the past five years — from nothing to a global spend management solution! Thank you to @shannonscott, Jacob Dai and @smithcam for your support, and for always challenging me.

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue. Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR. We could've died three times during this journey. This is the story I've never told anyone before:

the highlight is all that matters. Sorry for those who bought in 1989-1990, but you did not pay that level of mortgage forever, so stop acting like you did

I work with kids who do this shit all the time and I guarantee you none of them have ever considered the penalties. If you want to stop kids stealing cars, stop leaving your keys in the gym pigeon hole

BREAKING: Violent juvenile car thieves will face more jail time and sentencing will be strengthened as part of a suite of increased penalties to keep the community safe. #qldpol
• Increasing maximum penalty for stealing a car from 7 to 10 years’ imprisonment • A more severe penalty of 14 years if the offence is committed at night, where the offender uses violence or threatens violence, is armed, or pretends to be armed, is in company or damages or threatens to damage any property • Amend the Youth Justice Act requiring courts to take into account previous bail history, criminal activity and track record when sentencing • Increased penalties for criminals who have boasted about these crimes on social media • Extreme High Visibility Police Patrols • A $9.89 million fast-track sentencing program in Brisbane, Townsville, Southport and Cairns so children spend less time on remand and more time serving their sentences • Two new youth detention centres • A trial of engine immobilisers • Appointment of an Assistant Commissioner within the QPS of a Youth Crime Taskforce Commander The increased penalties apply to adults as well as juvenile offenders.

Code is a liability, not an asset. So goal of software engineer is delivering the maximum amount of desired functionality at the cost of the least amount of code complexity, even as desired functionality evolves over time.
