Anyone ever used Apache DevLake or similar tool?
Any insights, recommendations, etc?

My main goal is to gather some metrics (mainly DORA), and as we use a variety of tools (e.g. Jira, GitLab, Jenkins), need something that can grab info from multiple sources.

If your company actually became vastly more productive, because of "AI" or whatever, you wouldn't lay off people: you would take on new efforts, make higher profits, have more things going on.

Layoffs are always - always - a sign of bad decisions, misallocation of priorities. Gross mismanagement. Always.

My few contacts on here who know me at work now know that I’m looking for a job, so, uh, yeah, I’m looking for a new position.

I’m a stereotype. Long-time developer, perpetual polyglot (if pressed, I’m probably strongest in #dotnet, both framework and modern flavors, and favoring f#, but if you look at the list of languages in Rosetta code, you’ll see “my goal”), plenty of experience in different kinds of organizations, have a history that includes dedicated infosec work (pentesting, architecture, help desk, you name it), extensive Linux experience (admin, hacking, even building distros for appliances), and plenty of network engineering. I have mostly been in the fed/mil space and am looking to get out of that space for what I like to think are pretty obvious reasons.

I love learning, I love helping people learn, and I’m a big fan of companies that invest in that. I love giving talks, presentations, workshops, etc, and would love to talk at conferences for your company.

US only, remote greatly preferred but will commute if fairly local and will move for the right position (I have a family so I’d expect assistance with said move, but we’re not opposed to the concept).

Open to leadership roles, but only technical ones.

I’ve actually been looking since last march, though I’ve kept it on the DL since folks at work follow me on here.

I’m not in dire straits, I’m still employed, but

A. I don’t trust the direction the company is going and,
B. I’ve been pulled off of development work to do bog standard systems integration and deployment.

So I’m looking for a change.

And look, I’m not bullish on AI agentic coding (I’m not going to hide my distaste, feel free to scroll my posts), but if your company is using it I’m not going to turn down an offer. I’m nothing if not a team player.

Oh, one last thing: if your company is not lgbtqia+ friendly, it’s not “b4ux1t3 friendly” either. I make it a point to try to change organizations I am in for the better in that regard.

Read below 👇 why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests

"Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion. (...) Ookla, the parent company of both tools, has been acquired by the global IT consulting giant Accenture (...).

The open source alternative: LibreSpeed. No tracking scripts, no GPS harvesting, no profile building, no ads and no data sold to anyone."

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall/116160637051672728

the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”

but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”

and the answer to that is: fascism
stop. complying.
