1-2ms to launch a micro VM would indeed open up a lot of possibilities, whilst still having hypervisor grade isolation - sounds pretty amazing
I'm thrilled that today we open sourced Hyperlight a new ultra-lightweight hypervisor aimed at secure sandboxes at web assembly speed. The future of secure lightweight sandboxes begins here:

💯 to @mipsytipsy's view that the work of a software developer is >> writing code. 🧵
The advance of LLMs and other AI tools is a rare opportunity to radically upend the way we talk and think about software development, and change our industry for the better. The way we have traditionally talked about software centers on writing code, solving technical problems.

It's amazing how much Oracle has improved and simplified the upgrade process over the last few years. I expect it Just Works™ for the vast majority of installations too!
New blog post. Check how to upgrade the #Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) to version #23ai at your #ExaCC using CLI (dbaascli). All steps covered, commands and parameters described: https://t.co/iWqX5zeHKK

After Google's recent layoffs impacted open-source maintainers, I was curious about the state of OpenTofu, a project forked from Terraform six months ago with significant pledges of support. https://t.co/Kq6ehdi4kx

OpenTofu Github stats half a year after the fork.

“It’s a bloody nightmare” Meaning: Something is proving a mild inconvenience; typically used to describe slightly heavy traffic, or the internet not working “It’s not ideal” Meaning: Something terrible has happened and life is almost certainly ruined

In this context, my thoughts on evolvable architectures: Monoliths are not Dinosaurs
allthingsdistributed.com
Building evolvable software systems is a strategy, not a religion. And revisiting your architectures with an open mind is a must.

Since early 90s, I'm hearing that software engineers will be replaced by machines one way or the other. Since then, the demand for software engineers only exponentially increased. Builders will keep building, occasionally with newer tools.

I was very sad today to hear that Larry Carpenter has passed away. Larry was always so friendly and helpful, a real force of nature in the Oracle community. He came to the UKOUG annual conference many times, he was always a joy to spend time with. Thanks for everything Larry.

Very interesting session by @re_cinq at #KubeConEU about carbon intensity of IT workloads & potentially dynamically shifting them to regions with cleaner power

Seems somehow appropriate that Lego should be talking about Platform Engineering at #KubeConEU !

TIL that adults are actually better at learning languages than children. Loving this talk from @KFosterMarks, comparing second language acquisition to fluency in learning programming and “speaking code” @monkigras

😂 too real. @monkigras if you want an entertaining talk on LLMs and parenting, you should invite @rstephensme and @DormainDrewitz
