DevOps'ish

Every week I comb through 1000s of articles that get curated down to about 100 URLs eligible to be in DevOps'ish. Those URLs land in a notes file that end up being source material for the newsletter. Being in that group of ~100 links is an achievement and should be lauded.

It's a shame when I have to choose between having too many links or someone's special thing getting featured in the newsletter. Here's another chance to shine! As always, thank you for reading! —Chris Short

The following links and/or notes accompany the corresponding issue of DevOps'ish.

Notes

It is worth pointing out that the metrics based system I use to help write DevOps’ish has broken. I lost the ability to post to Twitter due to rate limiting of Tweets sent via IFTTT. I’m looking for a solution but, to be honest, I’d like to build an open source tool to handle my DIY Buffer using IFTTT. But, I don’t have the skills to do it nor the time, even if I did. If you’re interested in working on such a project, let me know.
