It sort of bothers me that the kubeadm logo is just the K8s logo wrapped in the React logo.
That said, I’m a big fan of the improvements to the CRD’s. That was a pain point in the past.

Posting this here hoping that someone with more knowledge can enlighten me about this. After going down a bit of the rabbit hole, I see that the SR-71's first flight was in 1964. It has held the record for fastest air-breathing manned aircraft[0] since 1976. What is the reason that given all of the technological advances that record hasn't been broken?

There is nothing worse than finding out that someone not even at the company anymore decided years before to deploy some crap like this. Drives me absolutely crazy to impose stuff like this where silos in companies means transitioning involves on the order of 4-5 different "components" need to change.

One thing I think is so extraordinary about Jeff Bezos is his uncanny technical prescience despite not really being a technologist. For example, the famous Steve Yegge "platforms rant" blog post [1] about how Bezos basically made a company-wide edict for microservices was very much ahead of its time. Similarly, the vision of cloud computing was much more advanced and early than any of its competitors. Considering this came from a company that already had a huge business of selling things, I think this technical foresight is pretty remarkable.
This is anecdotal, but I used to work at a large (Fortune 500) financial company. The CEO had no engineering experience, but every year they would do an annual summit of the goals of the company. Over 50% of the talk every year, they would drill down pretty deep into technical topics, I was always amazed that at that level he actually knew enough to be able to describe complex data engineering topics and machine learning models. Even if it was rehearsed, I always came off the talks super impressed with their ability to talk at that detail.
Also, Bezos was a Computer Science major and a developer for 4 years after graduation.

Bezos quotes an article about AWS, "..in fact Amazon's real business down the line will be its cloud services. Amazon will be like a bookstore that sells cocaine out the back door. Book will just be a front."
Another point I recently heard, and I can't recall the exact quote off my head but it was along the lines of: "Amazon at this point is really just a cloud company that is using it's cloud earnings to subsidize its other business arms to grow to a big enough scale where it can choke out all other competitors."

The author states that the talk was inspired by this series of blog posts[1] if you are like me and find articles about technical topics much easier to consume than talks.

On mobile, searching inside playlists recently turned into an option in the three-dot menu on the display page. I miss the old interface where you just drag down to expose a search field, focus it and start typing. :(
I still have that on iOS? Never noticed it going away and it’s still there for me. That feature really did take way too long for me to realize although.
We were pretty invested in ChatOps which I thought was great. Being able to issue commands in any sort of war room situation with a group of people was definitely helpful for that sort of triaging. Of course, the downside being that depending on Slack to be up to do effective operations isn't super appealing to me.
Of course people have been doing this with IRC forever, but Slack is a definite improvement on this front over Skype.
