As someone who's been reading Angry Metal Guy for more than seven years, I hated the decision to use the AI-generated images in this post, too. But don't let that get in the way of the main idea: buy albums on Bandcamp if you can afford it, use Apple Music or Tidal otherwise.

For the unaware: on Bandcamp Fridays, artists and labels get 100% of what you pay. You can see the schedule for the rest of the year here:

This is crazy value for money! I've been wanting to read Understanding Software Dynamics for some time, and that book alone costs €41 on ebooks.com.
Also, if you want to see the full list of changes in .NET 10 (not just the latest preview), you can find it here:

Why on earth would the Fyre brand be worth anything at all?

I love his writing too! I read this post a few days ago and really liked it, so I started going through his older posts. It's no coincidence that his writing is good—he's actively working to improve it: https://evanhahn.com/economist-style-guide-book-takeaways/.
Re:Fundamentals of Garbage Collection on Saturday July 12, 2025 @05:42AM (#44540694)
I recently re-read this article and can confirm that it's excellent—not just this specific page, but all the other sections under "Garbage Collection" as well.

If you want to dive deeper into memory performance analysis in .NET, this is another must-read: https://github.com/Maoni0/mem-doc/blob/master/doc/.NETMemory...

It was written by Maoni Stephens, the architect of .NET's garbage collection.

This is a terrible article. It doesn’t cite its sources and, even worse, invents quotes. It's basically just an ad for some Panto AI tool.

Save yourself some time and just read the official incident report: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1S...

Or the previous Hacker News discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44274563

They did! It was already discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44274563.
Thanks for posting this—it's super interesting! I was just curious why the author of the Reddit post didn't publish it on their own blog, since it's definitely worth preserving there.
Kudos for publishing this, but why is it on Reddit instead of the Levels.fyi blog (https://www.levels.fyi/blog/)?
Great story! Successful cloud performance investigations are always extremely satisfying. I love this conclusion:

It’s a reminder that sometimes performance bottlenecks are hard to diagnose, but with careful debugging, good data, and collaboration with providers, even cloud-level issues can be resolved.

It's sad to see Europe's influence fading, and instead of investing in innovation, politicians are focused on stripping even more freedoms from their citizens.
