Why Jenkins might cost you 10x more than Bitbucket Pipelines

Any company still running their own CI/CD, such as Jenkins, is paying a price. The question is which one: Each of these is extremely costly, and yet many software teams still host and run their own CI/CD for two reasons: tools like Jenkins are cheap or free, and hosting Jenkins on an AWS EC2 instance is often cheaper per minute than SaaS CI/CD services like Bitbucket Pipelines. Both reasons are true, but they’re also a trap.

The Developer's Guide to Debugging AI-Generated Code

AI coding tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Claude have completely changed how we write software. From humble beginnings where non-AI-enabled code assistants made intelligent code suggestions, like Intellisense, the latest agentic tools can generate entire functions, suggest optimal algorithms, and even scaffold complete applications in minutes.

Docker Daemon Logs: How to Find, Read, and Use Them

Sometimes Docker behaves in ways that catch you off guard—containers don’t start as expected, images pause during pull, or networking takes longer than usual to respond. In those moments, the Docker daemon logs are your best reference point. These logs capture exactly what the Docker engine is doing at any given time. They give you a running account of system state, performance signals, and events that help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

Recapping SEV0 San Francisco 2025

Earlier this week, we gathered in San Francisco for our second SEV0—almost a year after our very first event. SEV0 has always been about shining a light on the biggest challenges (and opportunities) in incident response. Last year, we were still talking about the fundamentals: blameless culture, strong processes, and lessons from the best in reliability. This year felt different. AI has moved from background noise to front and center in every conversation, every team, everywhere.

The Unit Economics Of Watering My Lawn: A Lesson On Runaway AI Costs

My wife and I spent hours this summer at home digging in the dirt. We planted new shrubs and perennials and created a small vegetable garden. We spread many square yards of fresh topsoil and grass seed over areas of lawn that needed rejuvenation.
