It's hard to wrap your head around all the failure modes of a distributed system.

What if you could play with the sequence diagram of a run to see how it responds, and see if you can get it into a failure state?

Looking forward to speaking at London GraphQL in April! I'll be sharing insights from Moonpig's experience with GraphQL, Federation, and Serverless. Excited to connect with everyone there!

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So

At least 66 of us at #Fosdem

A little update on #Meshtastic at #FOSDem:
Picked 66 unique nodes on day 1 and watched the network melt during the #Meshtastic talk (maybe doesn’t scale that great with all the nodes in one place). The best part of day 1 tho was that I connected to a node 300km from my location via 2 hops.

Waiting patiently for the #FOSDEM train!

Multiboard Holster for H1 case

Got a pair of Heltec V3s for Xmas.
First thing I did was print a case and now I've modified a holster I found for the case to mount it on my Multiboard to make a charging station.
