Another @housecor talk today @stirtrek. This time “The Immutable Laws of Software and Life: Code Accordingly”

Now watching @MarkTinderholt present “Automate the Automation with Terraform” @stirtrek

@housecor @stirtrek 5 types of tests.Unit: test 1 thing alone.Integration: test a few things together.e2e: test that everything works together.Performance: test that the app is fast under load.Contract: test the interaction between 2 separate systems.@housecor @stirtrek.

RT @housecor: Problem: .When I correct an LLM it “forgets” and makes the mistake again later. Solution: .1. Create a llm-learning file.….

Tests tell how it is. Docs tell how it might be. @housecor @stirtrek.

Getting the chance to hear @housecor talk about automated testing @stirtrek with “Effective Automated Testing - Lessons from 10 Years”

If we held an in-person DevOps, Testing, or Development meetup in the Northern Virginia area, would you attend? . I'm trying to see whether the meetup groups are worth saving. They've fallen off so much since the pandemic that I'm not sure they will recover.

- KEDA or Knative for auto-scaling pods. - including scale-to-zero.- Karpenter for auto-scaling nodes. Anything else that I'll always need?.3/3.

I'm thinking:. - Prometheus and Grafana for observability.- Cilium for NetworkPolicies. - eventually, for IPv6 to avoid IP address exhaustion.- Tetragon for runtime security since we have Cilium.- Hubble for network visualization since we have Cilium. 2/3.

If you were building a reference Kubernetes cluster, what tools would you need in every instance? I'm thinking of a cluster we clone the IaC for, almost entirely set up for deploying an application with the tools we'll always use. 1/3.

@SEI_CMU Is it an academia thing where I am rewarding them for allowing me the honor of presenting? I'm not even doing it "for exposure," but I'm buying an opportunity to share my experiences. Seems weird to me. 3/3.

I can pay them $500 because "we anticipate that all participants will derive value from the whole event, not just the time they are presenting." I might have thought it was a scam, but this is @SEI_CMU. 2/3.

I've been speaking at tech conferences for quite a few years, but this is the first time I've been asked to pay to speak. Not just in the #PayToSpeak sense, where I'm expected to cover my own travel and lodging. 1/3.

I'm looking forward to my first meetup in a while. @ColumbiaDev has invited me to talk about my experiences moving to Air Force Cloud One on Thursday evening, Jan. 23.
