• Quoteable Quotes:
  • @davygreenberg: If I do a job in 30 minutes it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.
  • @PaulDJohnston: Lambda done badly is still better than Kubernetes done well
  • Ross Mcilroy: we now believe that speculative vulnerabilities on today's hardware defeat all language-enforced confidentiality with no known comprehensive software mitigations, as we have discovered that untrusted code can construct a universal read gadget to read all memory in the same address space through side-channels. In the face of this reality, we have shifted the security model of the Chrome web browser and V8 to process isolation.
  • @ben11kehoe: Statelessness is not the critical property of #serverless compute, it's ephemerality. Being positively limited in duration means the provider can *transparently* manage the platform, no scheduled (or unscheduled, in Fargate's case) downtime needed.
  • The over under on the remaining number of quotes is 15.
