I'm a big fan of Rage Against the Machine but never saw them live. Luckily I was able to see the very next best thing: Nic Cage Against the Machine. A RATM cover band fronted by Nic Cage. The music was absolutely on point and while I don't really know anything about Nic Cage, the singer was very entertaining. Definitely better than someone trying to be Zack de la Rocher and most likely failing. #ratm

@bart haha what a waste of resources! Weird they don't trust their own LLM though, huh.

Weird how Microsoft, the owner of one of the biggest LLM code assistants in the world has so many reported but unfixed issues in their software projects huh.

Punching myself in the face by not reporting bugs in the azure terraform driver because I am not paid by Microsoft, but then having to keep experiencing the bugs over and over. #azure #terraform

@johnl medical equipment is typically VAT exempt, unless it's primarily aesthetic rather than therapeutic.

And while £5.5m may be $7.34m currently, he is still the six million dollar man before VAT.

Hello nerds. Next month I’m going to be at @oggcamp in Manchester and I’ll be giving a talk on the main stage. If you want to learn something about Infrastructure as Code then come along, sit down, and listen intently.

You will be allowed to buy me a pint afterwards.

Infrastructure as Code is Cool OggCamp 2026

What's more exciting than infrastructure? Not much. But what's more exciting than repeatable, reusable infrastructure based on code? Sweet FA, that's what. Which is why Charlie O'Hara will show you how to build and maintain your own local infrastructure using nothing but OSS tools and a git repo.
