I’ve got a brand new core feature in mgmt called send/recv which I plan to show you shortly, but first I’d like to start with some background. History This is my historical perspective and interpretation about the last twenty years in configuration management. It’s likely inaccurate and slightly revisionist, but it should be correct enough to tell the design story that I want to share. Sometime after people started to realize th..

I recently (finally!) finished the Advent of Code challenges using Haskell. I'm still a Haskell wannabe, but the suite of problems provided an interesting backdrop for a number of Haskell concepts that I wanted to share. The long-form retrospective is here; if you want to see a condensed collection of a few Haskell toolchain by-products, check out my shorter summary under GitHub pages . Disclaimer: I am not a Haskell expert (or ....

This week we added a high-severity Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the EJS package to our vulnerability database.

It is an original piece from Bre Pettis and Kio Stark – under Creative Common. For me it is a reminder that done is better than perfect, and no matter how creative you want to be there is a point where actual delivery matter more than potential awesomeness . Here it is:

This past September I took vacation time and paid out of pocket to drive to Orlando and attend ElixirConf with a few other programmers from Greenville who did the same thing. We weren't the only ones. Here is a belated recap from our combined notes and experiences.

While most of my posts are pictures (funny pictures, persona pictures, memes, etc.), I’ve also got lots of funny text posts. I got a chuckle out of reading them again, so I thought I’d share them here for others to enjoy! Here they are, sorted from newest to oldest: If you want to rapidly get through a crowded area, just carry a clipboard and try to make eye contact with people. People will give you space….fast ;-)

I have a love-hate relationship with the terrain from Minecraft. One the one hand, it's the terrain that makes every world kind of memorable in it's own way. It comes at cost though; the process of generating terrain can cripple a server. That's where Chunky comes in. Chunky lets you pregenerate a world so that our blocky wanderers don't cause the server logs to fill with “CAN'T KEEP UP!” Okay. Why?

Yet, when you call for a meeting you can still make sure your time will be well used by creating a frame within which the conversation will happen. What do you need this meeting for?

Here are three myths about WordPress that really annoy the sh*t out of me because they are just so outrageously outdated and so misinformed that it 100% piss me off to still hear such BS said in meetings – especially when it comes from the IT guy in a company. However, I know it is counter-productive to shout at people for things they do not know, especially when they act out of lack of knowledge and are just repeating what some other uninf..

Here are some tips I am using myself or have used at some point and have helped me along the way. Start somewhere with a schedule for your days with objectives Achieving your goals assumes you have defined some, and if your day is not going as you want, probably worth thinking what was that you wanted on the first place, what were you go..

For the second time now I’ve had to implement a system that syncs from my system of record into Salesforce.com, the first at Heroku and now at Citus Data . The case here is pretty simple, I have a software-as-a-service, B2B product. It’s a homegrown application in these cases in Ruby, but could be Python, .Net, any language of your choosing. The problem is I don’t want to have to be rebuilding my own CRM, reporting, etc. on top of all of m....

The countless hours spent pondering these questions will be no more. Pull up a chair as we dive into the mystery behind the dynamic duo known..

In an ever long pursuit to diversify my income (I’m already signing up for checking accounts just for the bonuses as well as buying and reselling things on eBay ), I’ve taken up the hobby of designing t-shirts. I only have three so far (well, I have a first one , but it was more to learn the platform), and none have sold. Not surprising since I only launched one yesterday and two today.

Just over a week ago, we were sponsors at the Brighton conference, ffconf. It was a day full of brilliant talks, both thought provoking and useful. Ashley Williams of npm gave a talk titled “A brief history of modularity”, which we felt was particularly relevant to Snyk, and so we thought we’d share a summary of the talk here.

If you read the official Ubuntu Core docs, you’ll see that the recommended way to run Ubuntu Core virtually is with KVM. However, it’s probably even easier to use it in VirtualBox, and I’ve been getting some questions about that, so I wanted to devote a quick post to it. Prerequisites: A Linux machine (using Ubuntu 16.04 here). This guide will work on Windows as well, but the command invocations are a bit different and I don’t have a machi..

Race" is more of a social construct than a biological distinction. That doesn’t mean "races" don’t exist, it just means it’s difficult, if not impossible, to label people with a distinct, finite number of races.

I'm a guy from northern Alabama. I write software, and I've spoken at a conference or two. I wrote a package manager for Drupal 6 that was used on 3,300+ servers. There are a few other bits of code floating around out there as well. Most of it is open source. Below is a list of contributions I've made. Some of these patches are exclusively my code, but by nature open source is collaberative.
