Git worktrees have been around since 2015, but few devs use them like they could. They let you work on multiple branches at once—each in its own directory—without the usual stash-switch-stash-repeat dance. The real power move? Pair them with abare repo. That gives you a clean, central base where ea..

Airbnb yanked tens of millions of lines of Java, Kotlin, and Scala out of Gradle and dropped them intoBazel. Why? Faster builds, reproducible results, and smoother dev workflows. They didn’t just swap tools—they rewired the whole thing. A customautomated build file generatornow slices up targets fi..

GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps just got sharper: it now checks if leaked secrets are actuallyvalid. Secrets are flagged asActiveorUnknownby pinging providers in real time. No setup needed. It auto-kicks in for supported secret types. Why care?Because not every secret leak is an emergenc..

Marc Brooker breaks down the jump fromAmazon DynamotoDynamoDBandAurora DSQL, tracing how the guts of cloud databases have changed. It’s a story about dropping old trade-offs and picking up stronger guarantees. DynamoDB ditches the old hash-ring replication for multi-AZ replica sets backed by Paxos...

More devs are spinning upKubernetes clusters on stripped-down Linux distros—thinkRaspberry Pi OS,Debian,Talos Linux,Fedora CoreOS. MicroK8s and k3s make low-power, ARM-first deployments feel less like a science project. Talos Linux? It’s the wildcard—API-only node opsand animmutable, locked-down de..

AWS EKS takes the grunt work out of running Kubernetes. It handles the control plane, automates upgrades, hooks into IAM and VPC, and scales without breaking a sweat. Witheksctlandkubectl, devs can launch clusters fast, drop in their YAML, and wire up services through built-in load balancers...

Capsule v0.10.3had a problem. Tenant users could sneak their own labels into system namespaces—an easy way to punch holes in Kubernetes multi-tenancy. v0.10.4shuts that down. It tightens namespace validation and clamps down on label injection...

Kubernetes v1.34makesNodeSwapofficial. For the first time, swap on Linux nodes is fully supported—breaking with the old norm of just turning it off. Why it matters: NodeSwap gives the kubelet a pressure valve. Instead of firing off OOM kills, it can push some memory to disk. But this isn’t a free w..

Zero-code OpenTelemetry still feels like a myth. Python skips logs out of the box. Quarkus wires up tracing, nothing else. Micrometer Tracing (Spring Boot) ignores OTel env vars unless you’re on 3.5 or later. Every stack plays by its own rules...
