#DevEx
Yesterday OOMF unfollowed me for suggesting that the #devEx of #cloudFunctions is better than running your own server. So I suppose I'm a #serverless shill now. Follow me! #AWS #awsLambda #cloud
#TIL when #Typescript is borked in #VSCode and you want to "Restart Typescript Server" you have to have a .js/.ts file *focused* in an editor or else the option doesn't appear. Even when the #TS error in question is appearing on the `jsconfig.json` file.
How does this pass as acceptable #developerExperience for all these years?

s3tar is utility tool to create a tarball of existing objects in Amazon S3.
s3tar allows customers to group existing Amazon S3 objects into TAR files without having to download the files. This cli tool leverages existing Amazon S3 APIs to create the archives on Amazon S3 that can be later transitioned to any of the cold storage tiers. The files generated follow the tar file format and can be extracted with standard tar tools.
Improving Cloud Native DevEx: The API Gateway Perspective
https://thenewstack.io/improving-cloud-native-devex-the-api-gateway-perspective/
"[A]rchitects and platform engineers will need to build pathways for developers to continue shipping software with speed and safety in mind. QA specialists also must be central to this effort. The focus will be on enablement teams, in Team Topologies speak. Easing the cloud native journey for developers is a team effort." -- #Daniel Bryant
It's crazy to think that we're in 2023, we reached peak #Devex and every single person I know works on a subpar machine, either a locked down MBP or a vm within a machine...
Can't we do better?

As a developer, keeping up with dependencies and updates to projects can be a part of your job.
I’ve just realized GitHub provides RSS feeds for upcoming releases (for example https://github.com/zeroto-hero-dev/aegis/releases.atom will give you the recent releases of Aegis; which then you can import it to your favorite RSS reader)
I find it a great time saver.
So you badly need to count your code and know how much Rust versus Go you have; or how many TOML files have >10 comments or something.
Well, you are weird. I like weird.
So say no more.

In the back of my mind I’m having a bit of an identity crisis for feeling deeply invested in #DevRel but no longer being a part of the DevRel team at my company.
#DevEx is definitely more for me, but its not entirely decoupled like it feels after the reorg to Engineering.
I don’t feel connected to Engineering and I feel completely removed from DevRel.
Rust should own its debugger experience, https://blog.yoshuawuyts.com/rust-should-own-its-debugger-experience/.
Rust should provide a ready-to-use batteries-included debugging experience and tooling. The article explores the possibilities. I learned about Debug Adapter Protocol, https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/, sibling of LSP but for debugger, neat!

A few #ProgrammingFonts that I like:
#PragmataPro:
https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/ — elongated x-height makes it extremely readable. Good when you open 20 terminals side-by-side.
#OperatorMono:
https://www.typography.com/blog/introducing-operator — Overpriced but extremely pleasant to work with
#MonoLisa:
https://www.monolisa.dev — Very readable with wider spacing, disinct glyphs and characters. Overall I love it.
☝️ Those are all paid fonts.
For great and free fonts

Senior Product Engineer - Developer Experience
We're on a mission to make powerful cryptographic & messaging protocols - simple and safe to use for all developers. If you love thinking about great developer experiences - this role is for you:
📣 Our team at Ockam is hiring across #RustLang #Cryptography #ElixirLang #DevOps #Cloud #Kubernetes #DevEx #Product and more.
We hire globally & believe that unique perspectives & contributions of all our team members is the driver of our success.
Open roles 🧵…
Few quick comments to buy me time to write a blog 😂 :
* Our engineers are the primary docs authors and they are all awesome.
* We released Camunda Platform 8 as our primary product focus which got us more eyes and more changes.
* A few of our teams have shifted from versioned releases (2x minor/year, alphas in between) to continuous releases with more docs changes.
* Within #DevEx we maintain docs infra & technical writing, so we have our own projects that end up as PRs.
I like this article by Kyeongsun Park about writing more useful error messages https://medium.com/@gngsn/writing-optimized-error-message-learning-googles-way-8f6a5e1b8705
Randomly came back to an old ruby->crystal porting project and am testing out crystal 1.6.2 and spectator 0.11.x. I have to say the error messages are improving! They now give you suggestions on how to fix the issue:
```

I used to love the promise of #AWS #Serverless, but for me, the shine has come off:
* poor #DevEx
* other vendors caught up
* Skill- and vendor lock-in
* Excessive cost at scale
For me, it has to be either open- and #OpenSource standards, or a 10X better dev experience. AWS offers neither.
I get the feeling that developing for #AWS #Serverless is quickly becoming a very specialized skill, requiring deep knowledge in AWS various tools, with a litte bit of effort going into writing #IaC and glue-code.
Not sure this is a good thing: AWS #DevEx is almost always awful, and being locked into a vendor specific niche skillset is probably sub-optimal.

I think the trend towards #PlatformEngineering teams is one that is necessary at this time.
But I'm not sure it's a trend that is going to last.
#Platforms & #DevEx are finally getting some love.
But eventually, I think as an industry, we will converge towards open source, open standards, mixed with managed services. The first two ensure commoditisation & vendor portability, the latter that we spend our R&D on what is core to our business.
I give #PlatformEngineering teams 4-8 years.

Er, I mean, hi. It's a little weird doing one of these when I'm pretty sure most of the people who follow me know who I am, but hey, why not, right?
So I'm Ed, and theoretically I'm a software developer. I work at https://render.com doing devrel/devex stuff and I volunteer on https://demuxed.com doing video and live-stream things once a year. (We ran the COVID-flavored 2020 and 2021 shows from the desk upon which I am typing this right now!)
Everything else is more interesting, though. I have a wood shop that I putter around in a lot and the swarm of 3D printers is growing on a monthly basis. I like building things, but I think "maker" is a terrible label. Similarly, I'm an audio engineer and a videographer, and "content creator" doesn't fly, either. People are people who verb, not conveniently-bucketed nouns who are.
I write a lot, and with :bird: on its inevitable slide I really should finally go stand up that blog I've been meaning to do for a while. I've got a pretty cool dog, too.
I think it's not that hard to get along with folks and fascists have no place here or anywhere else.

I'm Carolyn Van Slyck, a developer at #Microsoft, and I work in #OpenSource, building developer tools and sustainable inclusive communities around them. 🌈
I write code all day but also love geeking out on #DevEx , #TechDocs with excessive commas, and tricking people into collaborating with me on projects.
