There were other examples of this around the web, but none explained _how_ automatic reloading worked in Django. Some implementations felt half-baked. I think this one stands apart. This is also my 70th blog post on DEV 😮 https://lnkd.in/gtC6sBMr

‘In this episode of “The Engineering Room” Dave Farley chats with renowned author, speaker and expert software developer Kevlin Henney.’ https://lnkd.in/gsenvBMQ ‘In their wide-ranging discussion they talk about: • Why Kevlin Henney is famous for big public software failures! • Software Engineering, mathematics and the interesting gap between formal programming and sloppy humans. • Architecture, empiricism and three ideas for design. • Coping with incomplete knowledge and making stuff that works in the real world. • Confidence, certainty and loose-coupling. • Learning from actual failure, not just simulation. • Programming is deceptively easy to start, and gets complicated really quickly: Low Code is no exception.’ Continuous Delivery Ltd Bernard McCarty #ContinuousDelivery

On the flip side, many teams configure an excessive number of alerts, often with overly strict thresholds. A significant portion of these alerts are non-actionable, leading to alert fatigue. The common response becomes: 'These alerts are expected,' or 'They’ll self-resolve.' However, effective monitoring is only valuable when alerts are actionable and tied to clear resolution playbooks. Without this, alerts become noise rather than signals, undermining operational efficiency.

Sup fam!! Relationships are everything!! They're the core of your engineering platform. Your team's design docs, software patterns, pull requests, and GitOps workflows all need to pass through a complex network of relationships before becoming meaningful to stakeholders. Before that, they're just bytes sitting on Jeff Bezos' disks. How are your relationships doing? Which relationships need some light touching up? Which ones need some serious investment? How about that one person on that one team? How about on _your_ team? Are you tracking these gaps with the same effectiveness you're tracking tech debt? It takes an intentional effort to build meaningful connections and to show peers you're a stakeholder in _their_ success. It's worth your time -- not to mention you'll feel great!! Want to optimize your engineering platform? Start by investing in your relationships!

A new Jepsen report from Kyle Kingsbury looking at the Kafka-compatible Buf: https://lnkd.in/gijxaHzr It includes broader findings about the Kafka protocol and implementation too: "We also characterize four issues related to Kafka more generally, including the lack of authoritative documentation for transaction semantics, a deadlock in the official Java client, and write loss, aborted read, and torn transactions caused by the lack of message ordering constraints in the Kafka transaction protocol. These issues affect Kafka, Bufstream, and (presumably) other Kafka-compatible systems, and remain unresolved."

Coming in quick with another blog post! This is an updated version of my article from 2021 detailing my time-saving Git aliases. My aliases haven't changed much since then which says something about their utility! tl;dr - type `git s` instead of `git status` and save yourself precious keystrokes https://lnkd.in/ecXbVfyR
