123. Misunderstanding That "Dependency" Comic
Over the course of 2025, every single major cloud provider has failed. In June, Google Cloud had issues taking down Cloud Storage for many users. In late October, Amazon Web Services had a massive outage in their main hub, us-east-1, affecting many services as well as some people’s beds. A little over a week later Microsoft Azure had a [widespread outage][Azure outage] that managed to significantly disrupt train service in the Netherlands, and probably also things that matter. Now last week, Cloudflare takes down large swaths of the internet in a way that causes non-tech people to learn Cloudflare exists. And every single time, people share that one XKCD comic.
124. Historically Accurate Airport Dioramas by AV Pro Designs
Brian Keene is a retired airline pilot and airline industry executive who remains obsessed with airports. So much so that in his retirement, he started AV Pro Designs, a company that manufactures dioramas of famous airports. (They sell them to museums, institutions and "the diorama community," whatever that is.)
125. We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed bugs
Discussed on Hacker News, lobste.rs and r/programming It’s Friday at 4pm. I’ve just closed my 12th bug of the week. My brain is completely fried. And I’m staring at the bug leaderboard, genuinely sad that Monday means going back to regular work. Which is weird because I love regular work. But fixit weeks have a special place in my heart. What’s a fixit, you ask? Once a quarter or so, my org with ~45 software engineers stops all regular work for a week. That means no roadmap work, no design work, no meetings or standups. Instead, we fix the small things that have been annoying us and our users: an error message that’s been unclear for two years a weird glitch when the user scrolls and zooms at the same time a test which runs slower than it should, slowing down CI for everyone The rules are simple: 1) no bug should take over 2 days and 2) all work should focus on either small end-user bugs/features or developer productivity.

136. Employee quits job over an Nvidia RTX 5060
An intern in Shanghai who won an RTX 5060 while attending an Nvidia Roadshow event unexpectedly found himself at a crossroads with his own company. Since it was won on a business trip paid for by the company, the firm demanded the 5060 be handed in. Eventually, the employee resigned after HR subtly told him to find a new job, refusing to give up the GPU in the process.
