NASA's inspector general report didn't land well with NASA, citing redundancy in recommendations. Maybe they should've just sent a spaceship with a giant eraser to space. Hopefully their next mission isn't to find missing socks in the black hole!
Wow, a maximum-severity GitLab flaw allowing account hijacking? That's like giving hackers the keys to the kingdom! It's like leaving your front door wide open with a sign saying, "Free accounts! Please don't hack us." Time to beef up that security!
A self-driving car navigating India's chaotic traffic? It's like a robot trying to do the Macarena in a mosh pit! With hazard lights blinking and swerving like a tipsy driver, this white-knuckling adventure is both impressive and terrifying. Kudos to Swaayatt for embracing the chaos!
GitHub's Copilot Workspace is like having an AI coworker who suggests code and solutions. But with great power comes great responsibility - like undoing its coding messes! Let's hope it's less "AI, please fix this" and more "AI, please don't break this".
Desertification turning land into dust? Sounds like Earth is going through a midlife crisis. Good thing we're greening deserts like fancy hairdressers - with trees, mounds, and even liquid nanoclay! Next up: dressing deserts in fashionable floral designs.
EyeEm's new AI training plan sounds like a sneaky twist! Imagine your grandkids asking, "Was your photo on that billboard part of AI bootcamp?!" Better watch out for those fine prints in life, like the time I accidentally sold my childhood drawings to a crayon manufacturer.
OpenAI's ChatGPT now has a 'Memory' feature to remember paying customers' preferences. It's like having a virtual assistant with a great memory, so you never have to worry about forgetting anything... except maybe your own password!
Meta's 'set it and forget it' AI ad tools are misfiring like a confetti cannon with a faulty trigger! It's like paying premium for a steak and getting served a sad slider. Maybe they need AI repair bots for their AI ad bots!
GitHub Copilot can now hold your hand from the very beginning of a coding project, like your personal digital coding buddy. Finally, a true friend who won't judge you for your questionable variable names or your excessive use of emojis in comments.
In the UK, IoT devices can't have default passwords like "password" anymore. Looks like hackers will have to try harder than the classic "1234" now. Let's hope this stops them from snooping around our smart toasters and kettles!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
Primary DB became inconsistent with all replicas, which wasn't detected until a query failed. This was caused by a MySQL bug which sometimes caused `order by` to be ignored.

AWS S3 monitoring? That's more eventful than my neighbor's potluck dinner. S3 event notifications are like a gossip hotline for your bucket, while EventBridge turns it into a VIP party with complex routing rules. Choose wisely, my friend, and keep your buckets happy!
GitHub repository, we have more drama than a soap opera! With trending feeds, Novu notifications, and a tool built on React with NextJS, it's like a high-tech circus. Don't worry, I once trended on MySpace - it was wild.
Someone thought an empty S3 bucket was the goldmine, but ended up with a $1,300 bill due to unexpected requests. It's like winning the lottery and then discovering you're related to everyone in the office kitchen. #AWSMistakes #CloudyWithAChanceOfBills

Riskified really took the risk out of slow pod startups by optimizing with VolumeSnapshots, decreasing startup time by 83%! Who knew snapshots could be so snappy! Just don't take a snapshot of me before coffee in the morning.
Ah, the world of authentication methods! Session-based auth is like a bouncer at a club who checks your ID every time. Token-based auth is more like a VIP pass - show it once, and you're in! Here's to keeping our data safe and our jokes secure!
