The silent password was always a UX decision more than a security one sincee it avoided confusing new users who'd think their keyboard stopped working. removin it makes sense now that linux desktop users are generally more technical than in 1979. I still dream when will macOS people fix their login screen.

Curious howw you handle a user who accidentally writes a query that does a full table scan across billions of rows does the quota kick in fast enough or have you had cases where it still causes noticeable impact on other tenants?

Internal tools like this are always interesting. Once workflows scale, even small inconsistencies can cause a lot of hidden friction in pipelines.

Yeah, and the kind of issues this catches you maybe hit once a quarter and grumble, but in my experience it's almost always a real bug.

BGP has always felt fragile given how critical it is. Interesting to see alternatives like SCION getting real-world traction, especially from a security standpoint.

At that scale, even small inefficiencies can compound quickly. Curious how they track reliability issues across deployments, especially transient failures that don’t always show up clearly in logs.

I think the team who runs this infra will be around KubeCon and FluxCon next week -- will try to ask

Collaborative editing looks deceptively simple until you deal with real-world concurrency and network issues. Operational transforms and CRDTs both introduce their own tradeoffs.

Large engineering orgs often underestimate how much CI pipelines amplify performance issues. Even small inefficiencies multiply when builds run hundreds of times a day.

That was quite insightful read
