Imagine your team only had two environments: 1. Your machine (where you code and test) 2. Production Could you successfully ship software this way?
This shouldn't be a problem because all your deployments should be automated and released at an established cadence. With feature flags and canary's.

I'm about to do something I think I've never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source. After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in…
I'm so sick of authentication in 2025. I spend no less than 30 minutes a day authenticating to services. Passkey is awful, yubikey has gotten replaced by it, we havent removed the infinite OTP flows, corporate SAML is a tire fire. This thing needs completely gutted.
It's really time for a better alternative. xkcd.com/1597/

Perl Rebounds In TIOBE Index - Why? "As a long-time #perl developer I have a few ideas, starting with Perl's text processing capabilities..." On IProgrammer▶️ cutt.ly/hrCrXCl1 #perl #tiobe #code #programming
Perl also offers and / or , which behave like && / || but with lower precedence—ideal for control flow with assignment operators. #Perl
Programmers aren’t so humble anymore—maybe that’s because nobody codes in Perl. 🧐 Once the glue of the web, Perl embraced messiness and humility; now we shoot for precision & pride. Are we losing something human as we optimize? #coding #Perl #techculture
With Puppet sort of de-opensourcing, I wonder where anyone still using it is planning to migrate? the OpenVox fork? Salt? Chef? cfengine?
