Law of Software Architecture: Your design is wrong. But you don't know in what way it's wrong until people are using it. So make it easy to change your design after going live. Addendum: Even when you get the design right, it will become wrong.

Software design is preparation for change.

Grady Booch If they’re gonna bastardize my work, at least have the decency to do it all the way and take out the references. Sheesh.

I'm only occasionally dipping into twitter or X or whatever these days. They seem to be doubling down on, "let's make our free thing less valuable and hope that will make our expensive thing more appealing to users".

Technology is the solution to and cause of all of the world's problems

Ah, ok, "report as spam" it is then.

Patrick’s talk on AI should be watched by everyone in devops. #cfgmgmtcamp can go deeper than most conferences can.

Kief’s talk at #cfgmgmtcamp shows why you shouldn’t be scared of visual composition in infrastructure. It’s already the way we think about it, just not how we express it

Awesome talk by Adam Jacob about technology as art #cfgmgmtcamp, and how it inspired System Initiative. I was too busy listening so I didn't have a chance to take any pics. Definitely watch it later!

hi all weaveworks is winding down :-( I wrote a statement here Weaveworks is the best team I ever worked with and will have a longer impact than perhaps we expected at the start linkedin.com/posts/richards…

Summarizing a first day of #cfgmgmtcamp with @jfclere Micke 💎 Marco Scavazzon Jonas Linde

DevOpsDays Ghent 15th anniversary this year 🎉🎉🎉 #devopsdays #CfgMgmtCamp

Ok I’m impressed by Wing - seeing Elad Ben-Israel demo this and understanding the issues he’s trying to solve makes me really get what they are doing with it! #CfgMgmtCamp

Here’s what I love about #CfgMgmtCamp, and what makes me hopeful for the future of the infrastructure world. We can make new things, they can be wildly cool, and we can help and support each other. We don’t have to reinvent the competitive camps we made in the past.

Gotta love James Nugent referencing an xkcd comic by number, and knowing the audience gets it #CfgMgmtCamp

Okay, since steve o'grady is a pal, here are my thoughts on IBM buying Hashicorp. First - congratulations to all my Hashicorp people - it's an incredible accomplishment to have built a company like that, and a crazy thing to have someone value what you built at $4B+. Congratulations.
