PgBouncer is useful, important, and fraught with peril

jpcamara.com/2023/04/12/pgbouncer-is-useful.html
To start, I want to say that I’m appreciative that PgBouncer exists and the work its open source maintainers put into it. I also love working with PostgreSQL, and I’m thankful for the incredible amount of work and improvements that go into it as well. I also think community and industry enthusiasm around Postgres is at an all time high. There are more managed hosting options than ever (Crunchy Data, Render, Fly.

Some inspiration of things I could do
One of my favourite things to do in my free time is to tinker with this website. Indeed, this website is the culmination of years of tinkering. I have added features like coffee shop maps that I can share with friends, a way for me to share my bio in two languages, a sitemap.xml file to help search engines find pages on my website, and more.

All you need is Wide Events, not “Metrics, Logs and Traces”

isburmistrov.substack.com/p/all-you-need-is-wide-events-not-metrics
This quote from Charity Majors is probably the best summary of the current state of observability in the tech industry - a total, mass confusion. Everyone is confused. What is a trace? What is a span? Is log line a span? Do I need traces if I have logs? Why I need traces if I have great metrics? The list of questions like these goes on. Charity - together with other great folks from observability system called

The Scary Thing About Automating Deploys - Slack Engineering

slack.engineering/the-scary-thing-about-automating-deploys/
Most of Slack runs on a monolithic service simply called “The Webapp”. It’s big – hundreds of developers create hundreds of changes every week. Deploying at this scale is a unique challenge. When people talk about continuous deployment, they’re often thinking about deploying to systems as soon as changes are ready. They talk about microservices …

Filtering iCloud Shared Photo Library by Contributor

justin.searls.co/shots/2023-12-20-07h46m08s/
Since its release last year, how to filter the photos in our shared library to only show the photos I contributed has eluded me. Individual photo metadata shows who contributed a photo (and in the case of duplicates, multiple people might have contributed the same photo), but there was no way to view one’s contributions in bulk. After a few months of latent frustration, I figured out a way! In the search bar, enter the e-mail address of the contributor's Apple ID and you should see a auto-suggestion like "👥 Shared by person@example.
