I keep saying: I know there are good reasons we got "html but for vector art" but I wanted "jpeg but for vector art". I don't generally have to worry about sanitizing jpegs.

The job of tech support is to get you off the phone and free up the call queue.

I had to explain so many times to infrastructure guys why it was not okay that the software they use to manage outages still returns 200s.

So what do you do for "okay, we need to run this script that we've decided is a necessary operation". Special account? Everything go through the build server? I've been looking for tooling for "I need to do a production operation but I want it to have proper interlocks and reviews".

You can use something like flyway on top of your existing git/cicd stack. Write the query as a migration, have it reviewed using your git code review process, and merge to run the migration.

If it’s an incident, it’s usually manually run after review, with an audience. If it isn’t, it’s run as a script that goes through normal PR review.

That's what I'm getting at - so in the end, somebody really does need to have access to a regular sysadmin account on the server, even if it's not their default login. I was hoping that there was an option that didn't involve that sort of workflow, or abusing migration tools (since this isn't exactly a migration).

The 3x5 size is pretty common in wplace, it's a good compromise.

As somebody who's been procrastinating on getting my main project off of SSDT,

We can all tell.


I wish someone in Microsoft understood how incredibly corrosive to customer trust their new AI-first, cloud-only attitude is.

"We're meeting our KPIs at your expense!"


I just realized that Lineage and Graphene are two separate projects.

Aw, another AI thing. I was hoping this was their email service.

that is in beta

Down again, now complaining about rate limit exceeded.

Considering how FB was ruined by enshittification and Twitter was ruined by its new owner, I'm worried about how BSky has no apparent plan for money, and hitting a rate limit is not a great sign.


Oh I do believe they have a plan. Something something AI.

This feels like a workaround for git's contradictory ergonomics.
