An interesting look at the progression someone took to reach a million web sockets in Go, what worked and what did not etc, really love posts like this!

Facebook is saying they will soon open source something called LogDevice. This is an append only log as a service tool to build all your distributed services on top. Think things like extracting data from a isolated data centre that you missed while unreachable or recovering/building new shards. Excellent stuff, really looking forward to this.
There's a new Ruby + Go mashup language called Goby, it focusses on making microservice development easy, quite interesting looking but it's early days. Basically you can access any Go package from a Rubyesque language and it comes with the stuff microservices need built in
Upgrade all your Rubygem installs, yay!
HTTP Public Key Pinning is a powerful features but it seems more people are giving up on it, it never seemed like a great idea to me at all. Basically if you loose your private key you're just screwed and that's not ok.
I don't use Vault due to it's awful UI, there a nice looking Web frontend called Goldfish that might help.
Capturing decisions and approaches that goes into infrastructures is hard, one approach i've seen many people try and also companies like Puppet and Chef is to write RFCs. There's a interesting post about success with this, but I think it's hugely situational if this will work or not.
Previously I posted about the scary amount of open Puppet Masters on the internet and how many will auto sign anything, there's a NMAP plugin to scan for these.
A pretty great from-the-trenches post about a time when PostgreSQL ran out of IDs for the primary key. Some useful take aways here.
AWS Published a book about their take on Infrastructure as Code. A worthy addition to the reading list for sure!

I suspect most people who read this would have a healthy paranoia about things and not post pictures of boarding passes in the public, it's legit scary what can be done with a boarding pass.
Julia Evans wrote a pretty awesome post about Learning at Work. How to use your time effectively etc. You can take it two ways, how to Learn at Work or if you're a manager how to enable Learning at Work. She also wrote about Figuring out how to contribute to Open Source. Also about Kubernetes CAs. Everyone should just follow her already.
Facebook while exploring the use of Satelites to reach people they do not reach already have mapped the entire population of the earth. Unbelievable.
