Twitter broke the client I use on my phone, so I've mostly stopped using it. I'm enjoying Mastodon, I'm at @kmorris@toot.Thoughtworks for now.

Okay, since @sogrady is a pal, here are my thoughts on IBM buying Hashicorp. First - congratulations to all my Hashicorp people - it's an incredible accomplishment to have built a company like that, and a crazy thing to have someone value what you built at $4B+. Congratulations.

Here’s what I love about #CfgMgmtCamp, and what makes me hopeful for the future of the infrastructure world. We can make new things, they can be wildly cool, and we can help and support each other. We don’t have to reinvent the competitive camps we made in the past.

Gotta love James Nugent referencing an xkcd comic by number, and knowing the audience gets it #CfgMgmtCamp

Kief’s talk at #cfgmgmtcamp shows why you shouldn’t be scared of visual composition in infrastructure. It’s already the way we think about it, just not how we express it

Ok I’m impressed by @winglangio - seeing @emeshbi demo this and understanding the issues he’s trying to solve makes me really get what they are doing with it! #CfgMgmtCamp

Awesome talk by @adamhjk about technology as art #cfgmgmtcamp, and how it inspired @thesysteminit. I was too busy listening so I didn't have a chance to take any pics. Definitely watch it later!

Patrick’s talk on AI should be watched by everyone in devops. #cfgmgmtcamp can go deeper than most conferences can.

In 1987 the authors of the book Peopleware said that giving knowledge workers private offices with doors that close increases productivity. Fast forward 35 years and we're accidentally implementing this through working from our home offices.

Thought sparked by people commenting on how it's harder to get work done in the office because of all the noise and interruptions. Video calls from a noisy open plan office are painful.

I'm also bemused by people who talk about having people go back to THE office. These days so many teams are globally distributed, so "going back to the office" means team members joining video calls from different (noisy) offices.

I'm only occasionally dipping into twitter or X or whatever these days. They seem to be doubling down on, "let's make our free thing less valuable and hope that will make our expensive thing more appealing to users".

If they’re gonna bastardize my work, at least have the decency to do it all the way and take out the references. Sheesh.

Law of Software Architecture: Your design is wrong. But you don't know in what way it's wrong until people are using it. So make it easy to change your design after going live. Addendum: Even when you get the design right, it will become wrong.
